Well , I believe I qualify for the coveted " Bonehead Move of the Week " trophy ......... 
Last week I was thinking I had to replace Mikey Waltrip because i had doubts he could make the Phoenix race . So I needed another lower level driver ....how about Austin Dillon ? , he ran pretty decent at Daytona . Come Saturday , I see Dillon has been replaced by Landen Cassill in the 33 ...don't want him so I peruse the available drivers . I settle on Casey Mears . End of story , EXCEPT !!!!....
...I get home from work Sunday about the midpoint of the race . I see that my 5 drivers are doing alright , nothing special , but better than last week . So after the race I check my results and see A BIG ZERO !!! ..... beside one driver . Turns out , in my haste / stupidity , I clicked Brian Vickers as my replacement driver rather than Casey Mears who I wanted .
Vickers wasn't in the race , of course , so I got zip, zilch , nada for that choice .
Senior moment ? Brain fart ? Yes and yes .

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
