I'm trying, but old Martin had a rough start, and Matt 'Mr. Consistency' Kenseth, has REALLY let me down.

If Montoya has that winning streak soon, I may be OK.

What needs to happen is the top 7 in points just needs to stay home for the next couple of races so the rest of us can catch up.

I think I messed up trading Marcos Ambrose for Joey Logano, but we'll find out Sunday if my gamble paid off.  

Kyle lost some points with me on that one.  I like him as a driver, and I love the fact that he'll do anything to win short of cheating, but it's when he cries and blames others for his failures that I start to get annoyed.

The July 4th race was awesome.  The last 50 at Chicago were an edge of the seat ride as well.

I'm really hoping they got the tires  issues solved at Indy this year, last years race there was horrible .

Wow Shane you moved up 2 spots and in a nice spot at 2nd.

You had a very good week, Martin get's 2nd and Pablo (who they say could have won if it wasnt for the penalty he got)

Well my man JIMMIE JOHNSON wins the Brickyard 400 So happy, not for my fantasy team but just for him winning. I was getting nervous because Martin was getting closer and closer on turn 2 but Jimmie would speed up and Martin said "I could get closer to him on turn 2 but on turn 4 he was better than me"...

Well standings are now up to date after this week,


1. Team BurgerKing-7331- 490 points
2. Team TacoBell-5807- 480 points
3. Team PizzaHut-5748-  225 points
4. Team Arby's-5619- 182 points
5. Team Mc.Donalds-5510- 254 points
6. Team Wendy's-4979-  183 points

A close battle but as you can see the most points go to me and shane just by 10 with a 490 by me and 480 by him. Great performace from our drivers.

The worst team will have to go to Arby's and Wendy's  Just by 1 point the Arbys got last place with a 182 and Wendy's 183.

Well I may start to do this more often as we come down to the stretch.

Here's the rules, this league does NOT get shut down (from what ive read) during the offseason we all stay here inless you quit (which I hope you wont). After this season is over you will all get (fake) trophies or for the lower ranking 4,5,6 you will get a pennant on your profile.

Team names will remain as well with there owners. Most likely we will be losing team wendy's after he has already told me he quit. I can make a setting where you can keep 1 OF YOUR DRIVERS before they all get deleted and then we start another draft.
Of course that wont matter right now but here's how the draft order goes.

What ever spot you finish in our standings thats what pick # you get, so I can make it fair. If you finish 3rd you get 3rd pick in our draft. Most people will agree some might disagree but thats how im making the draft order.

Once the league comes to an end and after the award you will get then we will discuss the rules. We are still looking for 1 more person to join NEXT YEAR if you are interested you can sign up now but it wont be active till February 2010.

Thought i'd give you guys an update. 
Good luck its getting close for 2,3,4,5....hope your racers can pull it off!

Finally, somewhere other than the bottom.

Montoya got screwed.    That's racing I guess, but he should have won that race.

Martin was strong again today, if he'd just been like this to start the season, he and I would be doing much better here.

Both of my drivers should make the chase, barring any serious disasters in the next few races.

I still didn't like the race, it was a total follow the leader bore fest.  Even Infineon had more passing than Indy did.
The tires were good, but there's just the single groove for them to race in, keeping passing to a minimum.  Had there been a second groove, Montoya could have possibly rebounded with those 15 laps at the end....

And Martin would have got past J.J. 

There was one race where I had Kurt Bush on reserve and I still regret it so much... it was the race where he dominated the entire race and led almost every lap. He alone had over 1000 points... 

Well ive never changed my lineup because well when you have Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart how can you.

I also think JR. is in trouble already. He cant produce anything good, I remember in the begining of the season he was all the talk and now I never hear about him. On the other hand Stewart's new racing team is doing great but I think that Hendrick Motorsports has to be the best on the track no dought!

Im really suprised with how people have done but my favorite rookie would have to be Logano. He's having a GREAT year.

True on the sponsor part, Jr. does have the luxury of being above the performance when it comes to sponsors.

But it's been 1.5 seasons of crap from the 88 team.  I say R.H. puts up with it till the current contract is up at the most. Yes he brings sponsors, but those cars are expensive to run & support when they're not finishing where they should, consistently.
