RACE #15 MICHIGAN

 

BIFFLE WINS!!!

Pure Michigan !! Pure hell for Hendricks drivers. If you picked any 4 of the Hendricks drivers, let me say I'm sorry. I feel bad for you all . Jimmy,Junior,Kahne and Gordon all had strong cars but for various reasons they couldn't finsih well. I had a tad bad luck by starting Kurt Busch. He got up in the marbles and spun, putting him down 5 laps. After repairs and really never made up the lost ground and finished in the mid 30's.
  But on the other hand it was nice seeing the Roush Bunch running well. The Bif won the race and may be tough the rest of the season. Tony Stewart also looked racey and should be a favorite at the road couse next week.
   We had a first time winner last week when Hot--Foot scored 321 points...Welcome to the show Hot Foot. Second place was Wild Texans with 309 points ...He woke up!! LOL. 3rd was Rat Rods with 302 points and this was his 2nd top five finish. The race for the Segment 2 trophy is still bunched at the top with Kannapolis Intimidators at the top. But there a a dozen other players right on his heals.
   In the Overall race, LeeRacer moved back into first place and Jesus Motorsports lost the top spot but sits in 2nd. Jack Wagon is in 3rd with  BigShow's Machine 4th and Kannapolis Intimidators 5th.

RACE #14 POCONO

 

JJ dominates

Ah the slates are clean for the start of segment 2, and the Race at Pocono was fairly clean with long Green Flag runs. Jimmy Johnson was the car to beat and he won the race in dominating fashion. His team mate Kasey Khane was not as lucky and went behind the wall for 20 laps early on. This was bad for some of you, luckily not for me.I thought Cuzzin Carl Edwards would have a better race but bad pit strategy doomed his finish.
  This weeks 4 Wide winner was Reader Bulldogs Motorsports with 302 points, making it 2 wins in a row. 2nd was Kannapolis Intimidators with 298 points and SICK PUPS finished 3rd with 292 points.
  Overall, Jesus Motorsports are still atop the standings after a 4th place finish this week. LeeRacer and Jack Wagon round out the top three overall. Next week we are off to Michigan ,Good Luck.

RACE #13 DOVER

  

I thought my luck had turned after 2 drivers, who were not my picks, (Kenseth,Truex) Blew engines. Then the bad luck hit me ....Jamie McMurray Popped a radiator and Denny Hamlin hit the wall after blowing a right front tire. NNNooooooooo!! This has been a painfull first segment, and I for one, am glad it's over. But Congrats to Tony "Smoked Sausage" Stewart for his victory at Dover.
   From the look at last weeks scores many of you suffered at the hands of the racing gods. With only one driver finishing above 300 and 11 of us under 200, it's easy to say the Monster Mile lived up to it's name. Last weeks winner was Reader Bulldogs Motorsports with 329 points and it moved him into the top ten in points.The wild texans woke up with 298 points, good for 2nd place. Bigshow's Machine finished 3rd with 291 points and finished segment 1 in the top five.
   Overall, Jesus Motorsports had a bad day but LeeRacer had a worse one. Must have been some devine intervention because Jesus Motorsports had a improbable late season charge to win Segment 1. That trophy will look nice in his case! LeeRacer finished second overall, Jack wagon 3rd, Bigshows's Machine 4th and Kannapolis Intimidators finished 5th.
   O K people we wipe the slates clean and move onto Segment 2 next week with a Party at the Poconos. I, for one, am glad to start over but I still have alot of ground to make up for the overall lead. But Pocono with it's 3 different turns and a long straightway can be ideal to make up ground. The Gen-6 car has been good at most of the tracks but the hardest thing about picking the drivers is: The new qualifying format this season. Now it's a random draw where in the past it was who was fastest in practice. Also there have been several races when we set our line-ups before any practice sessions are run. So it's been a shot in the dark when making picks this year and alot of luck. You will need some good fortune when going 4 Wide In The Corner!!

RACE #12 THE 600 at CHARLOTTE

 

WTF!!!! Last year I could do all wrong....This Year EGADS!. I guess I was in for a statistical correction. When my B-driver Dale Jr blew an Motor it was bad luck. But what made it worse....My other B-Driver was Biffle and he was right behind JR when it "Blowed Up". The oil the 88 put down sent the Biffler in the wall and that my friends "Blowed up my Weeks picks. Ah..... but from this weeks low scores, many had bad luck.Perhaps the Fox Sports Cable got ya......another WTF?? Really Fox?? You let your Camera Cable fall down on the track and fans. I feel bad for the Fans who were injured by the cable getting snapped on them when the Cars hit it.And yes some of your picks were harmed by the Bad..bad luck. Finally, A shout out to Ricky Stenhouse, Way to go bud. Wrecking your girlfriend may get ya a few nights in the doghouse ...but the make-up Sex will be well worth it!
   Last weeks top score goes to MulderRacing with 337 points. It was the only score above 300 this week so he jumped from 19th place to 10th.....Nice!! Jesus Motorsports closed the gap on the overall leader (LeeRacer) with 299 points this week. john66 had the 3rd best score with 294 points and moved up 2 notches to 8th place.
   With 1 more race to go it will come down to LeeRacer , Jesus Motorsports and Jack Wagon for the Segment 1 Trophy. But the Monster Mile can make you a hero or a zero real quick. Good Luck Guys and Gals, see ya next week On the 4 Wide In The Corner Blog.

RACE #11 DARLINGTON

 The Lady in Black was tough and a few drivers got caught up in wrecks. Most notably was Kasey Kahne who again was spun by Kyle Busch. Not sure if Kyle actually touched him this time or took the air off the spoiler, but Kahne went around and hit the wall. With long green flag runs this race came down to whos car was the fastest and Kenseths JGR Toyota was the quickest at the end.
   This weeks 4 Wide winner was Jack Wagon with 316 points and Reader Bulldog Motorsports had another strong finish with 307 points. Monster e racing bounced back to finish 3rd with 303 points. The afore mentioned trio were the only players to finish above the magic 300 points mark.
   Overall in the points, Jack Wagon closed within 40 points of our overall leader LeeRacer. Jesus Motorsports is 58 back with 2 races left for the Segment 1 Trophy. The three are really the only players  who have a legitament shot at the Trophy. Looks like its down to 3 wide in the corner with 2 laps to go...

RACE #10 TALLEDEGA

 

Front Row Motorsports finshed 1,2. Thats not a misprint people, The little team won the Arons 499 in the twilight of Alabama. David Ragan got a late push from David Gilliland and both crossed the finish line 1st and 2nd. It's a great thing for NASCAR and the fans...but not so much for Fantasy Players ,unless you were really reaching this week.
  Back in 4 Wide the winner this week was Lews' Junk Yard Dogs with 322 points. He jumped up 5 positions in the overall points to 12th place. 2nd place was BIGSHOW'S MACHINE with 310 points. HAYES MOTORSPORTS and Exit 67 tied for 3rd with 306 points.
  Overall, LeeRacer Increased his lead a little over them that was on his bumper. With 3 races to go in the 1st Segment it may before Four Wide around the final turn. Next week we will be in Darlington on Saturday. Can anyone really tame the Lady in Black?

RACE #9 RICHMOND

UGGGHHH!! The Humanity. My picks crashed and burned with only my C-pick finishing in the top 20. 129 points.........worst finish for me in several years. Enough about my ineptitude. Richmond short track racing was back and forth paint trading racing. These Gen-6 cars have plenty of down force for banging and racing. Good for the fans and it will ruffle the feathers of many a driver.
   Last weeks winner was DirtPrincess00 with 332 points and moved her up into the top 20. The Flying Dutchman Racing finished second with 311 points and that moved him into the top 10. 3rd was Lew's Junk Yard Dog with an even 300 points and also moved into the top 20.
   The biggest story of this week is the race for the Segment 1 Trophy has tightened up. The top 6 teams are within 80 points with 4 races to go and Jack Wagon is on LeeRacers bumper only 5 points behind for the overall lead. Next week is a Sunday race in beautiful Talladega Alabama. Tighten your belts we could have a Four Wide race for the finish!!
