Brickyard Blues

What was that???!!! It's not over until the checkered flag waves, but hope springs eternal until that last moment. A bad decision in the last few laps changed the face of the race in a big way. There was some shouting at the TV in this household, and possibly in yours.

Who is in the lead? Overall, the same player as last week. Weekly? Read on.

Next week the race is at Pocono, Sunday at 1:00. It's about time for a new race winner, someone who hasn't won yet this year. What do you say?

Chicago

This one was worth staying up for for several reasons, but mostly since Reutimann won. It's always good when a winning crew chief cries. This week the weekly and the new total points' winner are one and the same. This player has stayed with the same drivers for all 19 weeks, something no one else can claim.

Next race is the Brickyard on the 25th. Back to Sunday racing.

Duped by Daytona!

In an exciting turn of events, many of our drivers were involved in a spectacular late race wreck. I wish I had seen it. The rain delay was too much for me and I went to sleep, so I have to take NASCAR.com's word for it. With a last-minute change of driver who happened to win, one player has tied for first for the week. Read on...

Take a look at the total points for each player, and note that there are only 64 points between the first and second place players. This has turned into a real horse race, kids.
