Some thoughts on the race :

1. They keep changing the format and I guess the 4 race / average finish deal was OK , but I still like reversing the order somewhat , like they used to , after each segment .

2. Had to laugh when Danica was chosen ....NO chance in this type of racing ...OK in plate races . I'm wondering how she will fare on the 2 road course events ?

3. Chad Knaus shows he's the best set up man around ....just kept improving the 48 all night and made the right calls .

T ( back to the dart board for my new lineup )

Oh Geeze - That Stinks!!! I thought since you're in NC all cable companies would carry all the racing outlet channels....

Well - anyway - Yes, your "pick" Jimmy Johnson won! Congrats!!!

Congrats , first prize is a lingerie set from the Danica Collection

Mikey I'm not a big TV fan so I have the stripped down package for $19.99 a month, if I want the $29.99 package I could get most of the races and if I want the $39.99 packageI could get all the races. I'm not paying the extra $$$ to get races that really aren't all that exciting to watch. To be honest I usually watch the first few laps and the last few laps but in between I'm doing something else and if I hear they have a caution I watch the replay then go back to doing whatever I was doing.



T will Danica be modeling my winnings???????

I'm about the same as you Mike , so maybe I should reduce the package deal I have ....then again , they probably have it integrated with the hockey broadcast , and I wouldn't want to lose that

T

Which brings up an frustrating story:

We have everything available, except for pay channels. The package below what we have, would take away 2 channels that my wife watches and 1 channel that i watch So we're stuck with this level unless we want to miss some of our shows

Everyone got their new rosters set ??? If you need the starting lineup , you might have to Google ....Nascar site seems to have lots of useless info and very late on the latest race lineup .

Copy/Paste... My laziness knows no bounds..

Thanks for the reminder that we need to pick new teams......with the break last week I almost forgot.

Looking at the ESPN scores , we had some members forget to enter their new rosters

That happens every year

Things we learned on Sunday......

Rookies should not block - This Means You Rickey!!!!

A 5/8" light cord rope will slice through the thin steel of a car when said car is traveling around 180 MPH.. ... Fox TV has to figure out a better system on the skycam

Well - enough of this "late" night racing!! We're heading to my home track Dover for the FedEx 400 Benefiting Autism Speaks... on Sunday afternoon... The first race in June!!!!

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.

Kinda felt bad for Stenhouse .....wipes out both he AND his main squeeze on the track ...probably had to sleep on the couch that night .

Think I'll stand pat with my new roster this week ....if the 2 hadn't messed up I might have had a 200 pointer ...coulda-woulda-shoulda
