Phoenix

You're wondering how close our family fantasy picks' race has gotten.

There is only one more race until the Chase winner is declared. It is still up for grabs for Hamlin, Johnson and Harvick. And because last week's family contest was so close, I decided to amp up the anticipation by not announcing the scores for Phoenix. Although scores have been recorded on the chart, I do not know who is in first, second, etc. place. Next week I will score the same way, not tallying up the scores.

We will all be together on Thanksgiving, and that is where the winner will be announced. Those of us who do not come in first can console ourselves by eating too much dinner and way too much dessert.

Texas Tantrums

Fighting and fingers and sudden crew changes were the surprises of the day.
Is it too late to propose a consolation prize for the last place finisher?
