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?

Martinsville - Where People Turn MEAN

Due to technical difficulties, the choices from Princess A were received before the race but not recorded until the day after. This changes the scoring a bit, and scores are now reflected below. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Charlotte

The men have taken the one-two-three spots for the week. Cautions and being the reasons for cautions had an adverse affect on points for some of us. Charlotte shouldn't be such an aggravating race.

Good luck to all for Martinsville, Talladega, Texas, Phoenix, Homestead. I'll start saving my pennies because there's no way I'll be able to claw my way to first.

Kansas

Kansas sees the weekly and total points' leader one and the same. We also have a tie for second and third in the weekly race, which can happen when players have four of the same drivers.
