Logano back on lead lap. Wonder how many cars he will take out

 

[QuizGuy66 2,208]

well that wreck was inevitable

-QG

[The Man With No Name 1,100]

Restrictor plate racing is a crapshoot and not good for fantasy. All kinds of luck involved

[Courtjester 3,319]

Hamlin is probably going to take this....

[dal_boys_phan 752]

Great save by Wallace on that wreck.

[QuizGuy66 2,208]

Dillon wins it garbage style.  Anyway encouraged by my Almirola pick.

Glad to see Bubba do well.

Punk move by Dillon.  And NASCAR is stupid for comparing that midget to Earnhardt.

[QuizGuy66 2,208]

If that were Kyle Busch it woulda been raining beer.

I wanted Dillon!!!  

I can at least wear my #3 gear lol

I agree with them drawing parallels to Big E, but there really was nothing Dillon could do there. He had the push and the Mo' and the low line wasn't there.

He straight up dumped Almirola.  I guess that's the kind of racing NASCAR wants.

Yup.  No problems with the first bump but he went back for a second and turned him into the wall on purpose.  He knows he can't win with his talent.

[Eephus 24,869]

Fantrax scoring looks correct. 

Lucky to win a week w/ one lead lap car. 

[Courtjester 3,319]

And this is the kind of race that Nascar must hate,  fans wait out a rain delay, a pretty uneventful race, only 9 cars on the lead lap and shaping up to be a gas mileage battle

(that is unless there is a "phantom" yellow flag here)  

[Courtjester 3,319]

Well now we have a race to watch....

[belljr 11,046]

Welp.   

[belljr 11,046]

Anyone want Jimmie Johnson. What a stiff

I only saw the second half but I thought it was a pretty interesting race.  Harvick was the class of the field all day but the alternate pit strategies and late yellow kept my interest.  It's a pretty typical race at a 1 1/2 miler where handling over long runs strings out the field.

On the fantasy side, some big weeks wasted with 120 and 118 point losers.

Chevy survived to win Daytona but they all looked out to lunch today.

[belljr 11,046]

This league is stupid!!!!

Wait...I won?

I swore I lost. This league is awesome

Next year I think add a point for a stage win?

Edited February 26, 2018 by belljr

Fantrax doesn't support stage wins as a stat.  They have something called Bonus Points which isn't defined anywhere on the site.  It appears to have some relationship to wins and stage wins because Harvick currently leads with 5 followed by A. Dillon with 4 but Allmendiniger has been given a bonus point for some reason.

They track finishing position for each stage but from top to bottom.  I don't think it would be fair to triple whammy some guy who DNFs during stage 1.

Well I then propose you go in and manually adjust as needed EVERY WEEK

That was one boring race today.  Still waiting for my first win, but three-for-three seeing at least one driver on my roster get a DNF.

[E Street Brat 1,624]

Did it actually change the win/standings or anything... or just when the playoffs roll around?

Ditto.  At least this week I only lost by 2.  Should win before NBC takes over the telecasts.

Harvick was docked points but we're not counting penalty points.  I didn't want fantasy results to change after Sunday night.

[Eephus 24,869]

Some close finishes this week.

[BigSteelThrill 5,359]

Its a long season.

Yet @Eephus needs a big fat ? this week.

Guess I deserve the loss for having a cheater

The two Harvick teams battle it out in a defensive matchup

[dal_boys_phan 752]

0-5, with losses by 5 points, 2 points, and 4 points in three of the past four weeks. 

Next week, a Battle of the Beatens as either my squad or @DaVinci's crew will finally get to victory lane.
