RACE # 1 DAYTONA 500

   This was a race without Busch's and the big one. Perhaps the lack of  the first had to do with the latter. I always pick one strong driver and fill the rest of my lineup with so-so drivers. The 500 is always a crap shoot and why waste a good driver pick on a demolition derby.
   Well....things didn't turn out that way with no demolition of 20+ cars and my strong pick was looking good until Gordon got turned around on the last lap and finished 33rd. He led the most laps and that was my week in a nutshell.
   This weeks winner was Bigshows Machine with 310 points. He started Jimmy Johnson, Martin Truex, Kasey Kahne and David Ragan. Bigshows has been in this league since the start and he is making a statement by starting off strong. You can bet he wants to improve on his 12th place finish last year. In second this week was Joko Floko's Revenge with 306 points. Joko Flocko's owner has been racing in yahoo fantasy leagues for 3 years. And other than 2014 he has done quite well (92%, 86%,68%). Finishing 3rd was Golden Dog with 296 points. He has been racing in Yahoo since 2005 and has several trophy's in his case. Golden Dog will be a tough competitor this year .
  Looks like we have a great group of players this year who know a thing or two about Yahoo fantasy racing. Welcome to all the new members and the old timers. See ya in Phoenix.
