Do you smell what The Rock is cookin' ?

Smell that? Burning Goodyears and Sunoco 260 GTX 98-octane, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of melted rubber and gasoline in the morning. You know, one time they held a race in Las Vegas. When it was all over, one guy picked the top two and 4 in the top 11. No one else was even close. The smell, you know that acrid, fumey smell. The whole place. Smelled like…

Victory. 2 weeks in a row. 33 weeks to go. Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight.

Tighten Those Seatbelts One More Time...

Time for me to trade two non-performers for some tried and true racers.

I let you all get a head start with the points to lull you into a sense of security, but Sunday morning you'd better take your Dramamine because your heads will be spinning when you watch my pix race by the field.

How long is the season again?

I'm starting to have serious doubts about my method for picking my drivers.

But I have no better ideas so I'm sticking with them, for better or for worse, etc.

And the crowd goes wild!!!!

So the princess takes the lead! That's what you all get for picking Jimmie Johnson!! Can the trash talking start now?

Week 1 Scores - The Longest Daytona in History

Remember, you aren't stuck with the same drivers, and don't count out Clint Bowyer.

Here are the scores for the first race, in order of highest to lowest:

1. Princess A - 694
2. 1, 2, Earnhardt, 4 - 629
3. Billy Bob - 581
4. Zeeee - 552
5. NASCorolla - 500
6. Daisy Mae - 414

And there IS crying in NASCAR, but it is more attractive on the drivers than on the Fantasy Pix players.

Just wait 'til next week.

ch-ch-ch-changes

Clint Bowyer is off my list, and Marcos Ambrose is on. Let the best man win!

Cheating 101 with Professor Knaus

Picking Jimmie Johnson is risky; his crew chief is at the top of the cheatasaurus list, and it would be a tragedy if Jimmie were parked because of another infraction.

Sandbags?

Do the other drivers have to put sandbags in their cars so they all weigh as much a Tony Stewart and not have an unfair advantage?

Some of you may not like your nicknames, especially those chosen for you. Those can be changed.

Some of you may have second thoughts about your drivers. They can be changed, up until the start of the race.

Boogity, boogity, boogity, let's go racin' boys and girls!
