Tony Stewart Jimmie Johnson Kyle Busch Carl Edwards Matt Kenseth
Denny Hamlin Dale Jr. Ryan Newman Juan Montoya
Elliott Sadler Kurt Busch
I hope it is ok for me to use Kurt Busch for my last set. I believe the rules said to pick the last two after the field is set. If it's not ok, let me know! Good Luck Everyone, let's go racin' boys!

PS Sorry to hear about the death in your family TC....

I think our last two picks are two of the drivers in the field who were not in the top 10 or second ten last season.
that is until the all-star break when we will be switching to this years points to pick our brave drivers.
So you can only pick a top-tenner from last year for one your 5 here, and a second-tenner for one of your 4 drivers here, and anyone else in the field to round out your 11 driver team.
Until that day,

NICE RACE! Go Kyle!
And how about that Toyota.. coming in 1st and 2nd! First time in over 50 years a foreign car wins! WOW!!! And with Kyle doing it.. beating the record for the youngest driver to win Atlanta.
Can you believe he isn't even 22 years old yet?
I had fun!
Congrat TG... your man was up there again! I still think he needs to be more positive though.
Exiting the car at the finish and not thanking and cheering his crew for getting 2nd place... and instead grumbling about Goodyear tires.. and what he said about them.. oooo eeeeee! HA!
Me tinks Joe Gibbs and others MAY have a word with him about it. Ya think?
And I am estimating here... but I do believe Jay has taken the lead! A HUGE win for him!!!
Go Jay, GO! But I'll wait for the "official results!
Looks like next Sunday we will be in Bristol... and then the following Sunday is Easter- so no race.

Okay gang, another week of racing is in the books and our little contest was very close this week.
My math shows Tonysgirl winning the week @ Atlanta, with an evil stare her only penalty for having an illegal driver.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tonysgirl 1361
JayG 1357
Gicuenitro 1341* last weeks picks
Tincup 1236
Congrats Tonysgirl, Tincup is hard to top in these weekly contests!!!!!!
It's on to the Bullring aka Bristol, Tennessee.
Season-long standings are as follows;
Gicuenitro 5431
Tincup 5419
JayG 5353
Tonysgirl 5229
Really close and a lot of fun.
So busy with DW Sheila recovering, which means bad herxing in her case. She has taken to working at home only. A real trooper.
The carpenters are coming today to start rebuilding our basement , very important as that's where the best TV for race watching is located (fortunately undamaged by the rising waters).
Anyhows, I hope you are all healthier and happier today than you were yesterday.
Maybe someday I'll meet one or two of you in a Saturday evening chat.
Until that day,
JayG

Jay! Thanks once again for doing the math! We are quite close! Changing all the time!
I'm looking forward to your basement getting done! Sounds good!
Please send Shelia our best. Hope she is doing much better soon!

How are you guys referencing last year's list? Are you using the one you first posted at the beginning Jay? I will check and fix my last two picks if I can't use them. I don't want the evil stare. TG

Ok, I think I understand this. The last two need to be picked once the field is set from #'s 21 -42. Is that correct? Ok then, so I won't be cheating, I should be able to use Montoya and Sorensen as my final two. Let me know if this is correct.
Since I haven't seen the race at all yet, or know nothing of it, I just looked at Nascar.com and saw Tony is leading! Woo Hoo!
Good Luck Everybody! Except for you TC, you're drafting a little too close in points for my liking........ Ha Ha! TG.

Let's go racing boys.
Long time, no see, you all!
Every time I bet on McMurray he goes out or has some freak thing happen and doesn't do well. I have faith in him.. it just seems he doesn't do well the times I've bet he would.
With reluctance I am putting him on my list this week.. but let it be a warning to him. If I don't see top notch results this week.. he is outta here as far as my bets go. Tough, ain't I? HA!
Hope you all have a wonderful day and enjoy the races.
Good luck!

OK here are the latest standings, with all of the precincts heard from, all the challenges withstood, all of the disenfranchised heard from and all of the dangling chads undangled.
I used Tonysgirl's last posted line-up from the last race to gather her points...and voila!, a winner is she.
Tonysgirl 1482
Gicuenitro 1385
Tincup 1323
JayG 1244

Close racing there boys and girls.
Wouldn't it be cool to see the young Chrissy Wallace racing in a cup ride in the next few years?
Very impressive to finish a truck race on the lead lap at Martinsville with all of those maniacs in that division (lol).
Oftentimes the truck races are better than the Cup races.
Git yer 10 gallon hat and pointy boots out people, on to Texas we go!!
Anyone is free at any time to check on my math, I would actually welcome it...hah!!
Until that day,
JayG

Jay is on top again this week! Congratulations! You know how to pick 'em for sure!
Yes, nice race!!! The Martinsville track is lots of fun. I had to laugh at Carl Edwards when he said he hasn't had this much fun before.
And as for family involvement.. one reason I am drawn to Edwards is he respects his mother, who has been instramental to him along the way get to where he is now.
I see a lot of family involvement on the tracks ..... which is the way it should be. And I can't imagine how hard it is for a mom to watch her child speeding down the road at 200 miles an hour, riding 2 feet from others bumpers and pushing others around on the track like they do.
My heart couldn't handle it.
Jay said..
"Wouldn't it be cool to see the young Chrissy Wallace racing in a cup ride in the next few years?"
Absolutely! Poor thing said she doesn't have many "female" fans yet. I think she just hasn't heard from them yet. I think they said she is only 19 years old!
And cute as a dickens she was when her daddy... who is also her spotter.. was calling her "honey" and telling her what to do... and she was replying, "I'm TRYING Daddy!"
DW was right.. you don't hear that kinda stuff on the radio too often! HA!
Think I'll go to the lake now and get me some alligator boots for the walk across Texas!
C-ya there! Unless of course the gators have other ideas!
Thanks Jay for doing the math... much appreciated!

Here is the current list so you don't have to flip back and forth to see it.
````````````````````````````````````````````````
Each player picks 5 drivers from last seasons top 10, 4 drivers from last years 11th through 20th places, and 2 from the rest.
1 Jimmie Johnson 2 Jeff Gordon 3 Clint Bowyer 4 Matt Kenseth 5 Kyle Busch 6 Tony Stewart 7 Kurt Busch 8 Jeff Burton 9 Carl Edwards 10 Kevin Harvick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We should pick our last 2 drivers after the field is set.
posted
Tin, I thought the pick anyone from the group point would be after the field is set and we know who is making the race and who is packing up thier stuff and going home.
That is any two of the remaining drivers in the field that are NOT in the top 20 from last year; that is until we revert to this years top 20 after the all-star race in Charlotte.
I hate rules
For this week I will go with.....
Johnson
Edwards
Kyle Busch
Kenseth
Burton
+++++++++++++++++++++
Earnhardt, Jr.
Hamlin
The Biff
Helloooo Newman
++++++++++++++++++++++
Reutimann
Ragan
+++++++++++++++++++++++
I can't believe I don't have the "old man" Martin in my line-up.
Oh well, that's what makes this stuff fun I guess.
I hope I answered the correct question correctly at the beginning of the post.
Have fun and have a great race...GOOOOOOO Cubbies!!!!!!!!
So, Until that day,
JayG

YOU ALL know Martin would have been on my list had I seen his name in the line up last week.
I don't think it was there... possible Almandinger or someone else??.... cause I looked THREE times!!!
Sooooooooooooo.. in fairness... I REALLY think I should have him count in place of the last one on my list.
What say you?
I need an official NASCAR/LymeNet decission here.
This week... and get the STINKING YANKEES OFF THE TV and put NASCAR back on!!! What are they doing???

Good to see you G... Welcome back!
And talk about unhappy about that jumbled up broadcast... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....
You don't start a NASCAR race... then break away suddenly to show Yankees baseball for an hour... then suddnly switch back to NASCAR later... after the race started! Hello!!
I actually got so frustrated while it was happening that I wrote to Fox and said.....
"Please do me a favor. GET THE STINKING YANKEES OFF THE TV AND PUT NASCAR BACK ON! Thank you."
I would immagine my note was possibly the nicest one they got!
Surprisingly, they actually wrote back a reply..
