If I could have entered in time and if I understand the points system I would have had about 129 points. It will be interesting to see if those points would have made any difference when this is all over.

Well then - If that's all you want then look at the last post of last year:

And yeah - 129 points wont really make a huge difference - we all usually have "bad weeks" like teejay commented - Truex Jr "Grenaded & faded " as did a few other Toyota drivers.. Somewhere there's an engine design team that is having a very bad night

The Daytona is in the books Jimmie Johnson's car that crossed the fininsh line first is safely in the Daytona Museum (will be for a year) and last year's winner (Kenseth) has re-claimed his 2012 winning car (no longer useable, since they changed the cars to Gen6)

The racers are heading out West to Phoenix, for the Subway Fresh Fit 500. It's a late start (3:00 EST)

Everyone remember to check your drivers after qualifying (6:00 PM EST). There's always a chance one of your drivers may not make it.

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.

Well, I am off to my usual start - 3 of my 5 drivers were taken out in the first crash. Last year, things started with me in the cellar, but due to an amazing amount of luck, I ended the season on top.

It is doubtful that can happen two years in a row, but hope springs eternal!

Have fun, guys.

Us bottom feeders are what you might call the " supporting cast " .....

Thank goodness Lightbender put GERN is his tanks. That allowed him to be 3% better to tie me for 4th.

You guys are just holding back, waiting for the guys up front to pile up and trash their cars.

Good one!!!!

Well I don't know about Gern but maybe the Toyota's put sugar in their tanks the way they were running . It's my own fault for choosing Toyota's ...shoulda stayed with Ford drivers I guess .

A bottom feeder would be a step up from where I'm at now.

Yeah, well you have a good excuse , Mike

The Toyota's should do better this week. The guys that blew them up were whipping them pretty hard to stay up front on that long track.
One of the Toyota's came through for my team though.

I am afraid to say anything....after a good start!!!!

LOL Don't even breath!!! Like last year - after a few races we'll be all scrambled up again

That's what makes this so fun, you never know...............

Amen Mikey. I wouldn't even blame it on Toyota because look at what happened to Mark Martin. It comes down to 25% driver, 25% good car & team, and 50% luck.

Geez , good thing i just checked the starting lineup , WHICH I STILL CAN'T FIND ON NASCAR.COM ,.....couple of my guys didn't even make the race . This is going to be a loooong season . That new Nascar site is totally useless . Looks like USA Today is my new "official" Nascar site .
