I see your logic , Mikey , as Smoke is a good "plate racer " and could very well win Talledega . Even Danica is worth a look ...can't be competitive on anything but restrictor plate IMO .

Dang!! I never thought of that - Restrictor plates this weekend

Well , I really shook 'em up for Talledega .........it'll be "boom or bust " for me on this one .

I have no idea how I became the leader in this years fantasy game. All I did was choose the youngest drivers and the most exciting guys to watch. In the past this has not proved successful but his time around I seem to have chosen a winning team.

Sorry about that guys.

Tony.

Nothing to be sorry about , Tony , you made your picks and it worked . Enjoy it !

T

Well , for me at 'Dega , it was " one step forward and two steps back" .......pulled another rabbit out of the hat by choosing Mikey Waltrip ( but then he had to talk non-stop nfor 3 hours during the rain delay )........but 2 other guys got piled up in the first Big One ( or was it the second one ?...the third one ? ) . Judging by everyone elses scores , the accidents affected the rest of our gang , too .

T

When they stopped for the rain I was sitting 1,2,4,8,12 and prayed for the rain to continue! No such luck , but still I was high man so I won't complain.

I can't stand rain delays!!!!!

Next week (May 18) are the Sportsman races - The Sprint Showdown and the All-Star Race (No Points), then the following week (Memorial Day weekend) is the Coca Cola 600. If you like Indy Cars (Indy 500), there's 1100 miles of racing all Sunday long!!!

Remember - if you want to see your overall positions, you have to go look at the ESPN league page - these are only the positions for this week.

Back to the dart board for me ...

Mikey , so much for Smoke at the plate track !

Now be honest , did ANYONE have Ragan ? Gilliland ?

T

WHO?

Mike , I'm referring of course to the beautiful and talented Ronald Ragan , er, Reagan Ragan , and his sidekick Gilligan Gilliland , skipper wannabe of the S.S. Minnow .....I think . :oops: ....who are now , y'know , FAMOUS like .

T

I repeat, WHO?

WHO's on first , WHAT''s on second .........

T

OK , so we have an off week for our bad guesses , so how about we pick the winner of this week's All Star race ??

I'll go first and pick # 20 Matt Kenseth .

Jimmy Johnson but I'll be rooting for Carl Edwards
