I just saw on ESPN that Jimmie Johnson and Terry Labonte's qualifying attempts were disallowed. Jimmie aparently had a template problem. At least its the 500 so they just have to start the qualifying races at the back which is no big deal... Let's go 48! Also kudos to Hamlin on his shootout win!

Anyone else notice how much sillier THIS silly season is? There were like 8 major changes, and all the new numbers and cars...

Ya qualifying was a nice refresher so I can get straight who's who

we seem to have a nice little nascar following here. maybe we should do something like pick the playoffs for the daytona 500.

for instance everybody try to pick the 5 drivers who will finish 1-5. points are awarded according to the finish position.
1st=1
2nd=2
3rd=3 and so forth.
whoever scores the lowest point total wins.

or going off the odds you posted everybody has $100 in hypothetical cash to bet on 1-10 drivers. you could put 50 on kyle petty and 50 on kyle bush. or you could put 10 on 10 favorites, or put it all on a longhsot etc. whoever has the winner and places the most on them to win, wins. if noone picks the winner, whoever picks the highest finisher and puts the most money on them wins.

I like the idea of the odds but it would be pretty hard with 5 or more people to keep track of all the bets and doing the calculations... The first way is much simpler and easier to do but the second way is a little more fun I would say

I would like to do a NASCAR pool... I like the top five pickem.

BB2 started a yahoo fantasy league, and that's still the best and easiest way to do this. I've been playing for a few years, and I like the format a lot. Word of warning: If you are playing a different leage, your team keeps the same drivers you select for all leagues.

Not everything has changed...I still have to listen to Benny ****ing Parsons... and the rest of the announcers continue to totally ignore my boy during the races.

Hey Killer... Do you want to be in our SF fantasy NASCAR league??? I sent you a PM with the details.

Suitanim · 02-13-2006, 07:11 PM

I watch at home, have TrackPass, and turn THAT way up and the announcers way down.
