Things Go Better with Coca-Cola?

It was the 13th race of the season, and was unlucky for some. We have a tie for second, unavoidable when teams choose the same drivers. There is a new points' leader for the week, who also happens to be the points' leader in the standings.

Between first and last place, there is a 421 point spread. Last place doesn't have a chance of overtaking first, but there is a still plenty of time to shrink the lead. Isn't there??? We witnessed last night that running over other teams' crew members is not the way to do it so we'll have to try something else. Like winning races, and lots of them.

Dover Days - Watch Those Speedtraps

The Monster Mile was kind to some. The week's winner is still a princess, but the total points' winner has changed. The tension is building. Next week is the All-Star Race, for pesos not points, so we get a breather. In two weeks we'll be at Charlotte.

Darlington Delivers Disasters

Overall, the men are leading the points' race, but the week's leader is still a princess. If Johnson has a few more races like Darlington, the points are really going to look different. Is Hamlin the new Johnson?

Choosing fantasy pix from the heart instead of the head may be commendable but it won't win dinner at the restaurant of one's choice.

Richmond

This contest is getting tighter as many of the players are picking the same drivers, but there is still an almost 400 point difference between first and last total points' positions. I wonder if last place can get lapped in Fantasy picks...

Here are the standings, ranked again by the week's top runner. We have a tie for second place.
