    Talladega

    Gentlemen, don't forget to make your picks by 11:00 p.m. eastern time. I didn't get a reminder email to make my picks (Ymo did you set it up so I wouldn't get an email this week?) so want to make sure you all make your picks.

    Aside from fantasy NASCAR, whom do you think is likely to win this weekend?

    Tilly,

    Can't tell you, I'm still waiting for my $5 for betting on ??? while in Vegas...ok, ok, I don't have a clue what is going on. I'll put down Carl Edwards again.

    I received my email. I changed it immediately after the last race.

    And don't worry... no Kyle Busch in my picks.

    I would LOVE to see Jr spice up the Chase, but I fear another dreadful performance.

    This year's Office Depot car this weekend.
    Cheers,

    Got my email this morning. I was reading the dates incorrectly on the Yahoo site, I'm a little ahead of my self in dates, and really messed up on the time change. Sorry for any confusion.

    Lavabe, I take it you will be routing for next years Office Depot car, or am I getting that confused too?

    sorry I fell out of fantasy nascar. At finals time in May I forgot to keep up with it, and just kind of let it go.

    I like JJ, of course - its his time of year.

    No joke ...
    Apparently selections were allowed up to 5AM today, not the 11PM the other day that Tilly reported.

    Not enough extra time for me to remove Kasey Kahne, Jr, and Reutimann from my lineup. All three got into an accident during practice. Jr and Kahne will use backup cars. And Jr will be in the back of the pack. Smoke got hit too.

    My luck stinks!

    Well, at least they will be qualifying in the backup cars...oh and I've kinda of given up picking an actual race winner.

    Lots of lesser known drivers will be in the front of the field when the race starts:

    1)Kvapil
    2)Mears
    3)Almirola
    4)Reagan Smith
    5)Menard
    6)Mike Wallace
    7)Nemechek
    8)Raines
    9)Vickers
    10)Truex Jr.

    Look like a lot of the Chase participants will be trying to just avoid trouble.

    GREAT googlymoogly!!
    Kvapil gets the pole this week, but when I go with him last week, where is he? Near LAST!! Oh, except for Martin Truex Jr ... who I had two weeks ago when he finished near last.

    Well at least I didn't go with AJ Allmendinger!

    Holy moly

    Okay,
    With a red flag and 13 laps to go, all of my choices are out because of accidents.

    Let me just say this stinks. Two red flags in a day. This last one was an 11 car crash. STUPID tire situation. 64 lead changes.

    Smoke is now in the lead.

    Man... this just stinks.

    Too many accidents, horrible tire situations, etc...

    Cheers,
    Lavabe

    Smoke wins!!
    R Smith passed him on the inside going below the yellow line and crossed first, but Smoke was declared the winner because the yellow line pass was illegal.

    Fine way to end this race.

    Glad it's over.
    Ugly race.

    Well, at least they were allowed to race without mandatory pits.

    And the tires only exploded ... they didn't wear down quickly.

    NASCAR better do something about the tires.

    That race was unbelievable. I couldn't believe how many contenders were wiped out. Hope Denny Hamlin is okay, haven't heard whether or not he's been released from the hospital.

    Posted the above in another thread, but wanted to keep the topic alive in this thread. Ya know, per DBR rules.

    Isn't it nice not to have to listen to Kyle Busch be interviewed? Man, am I loving that!

    Glad Smoke got a victory with Zippy and JGR at Tallagega before he left for his new team.

    Glad Smoke held off DEI to win. Though before he was declared the winner, I have to admit I already had a post composed about DEI cheating to win.
