NASCAR 2019

Start your engines boys and girls, Fantasy Live has been activated!

Time for a few news tidbits.....

This is a biggie!

NASCAR will disqualify winners caught cheating in 2019


Guess Jr is missing being behind the wheel!

Dale Earnhardt Jr. to drive in Darlington's throwback Xfinity race

The Roster page is now open and ready for play!   I did a quick glance and looks like the bonus points allocation has changed a bit....   I don't see anything about what happens if the winning car fails post race inspection and gets stripped of its win. I'm guessing the driver would get stripped in fantasy also.

It was 30 points for the race winner last year. Only 10 this year. Everything else looks the same.

Watched some NASCAR practice today. Until Chase tried to get back in line and cut off Harvick to cause a wreck. Looking forward to Thursday and especially Sunday.

Qualifying and The Clash are on today..... I'm looking forward to a Sunday afternoon of racing!

Ummm... I think you meant Harvick!

So, how did you guys see it? Did JJ tap Menard slightly, before trying to pass him. Or was it a clean attempt as a pass?

I think JJ should probably man up and take responsibility for that one Bills. He's known as one of the nicest guys, but maybe he is changing his playbook this year!

I agree! I think JJ was totally at fault. My hubby (who is no fan of JJ) said it wasn’t. DW said it was JJ’s fault. And I didn’t like JJ’s post race comment on it.

Did anyone remember to pick their pole guy? I watched the damn thing and totally forgot about it!

Nope I forgot too. I have to remember how to log in. I have a new phone and it’s not bookmarked anymore.

Can someone send a link to the group? Name etc.

bills - see if this does it for you.

No pole pick for me either.

Thanks Aug!

Yw, I assume that worked? Glad to have you back in for another full season.

JJ strikes again! He says he doesn’t know what happened?? Same thing as Sunday. Geez

Yes, seems to Aug. thanks

I like the new format for making picks.

Poor BB is having a horrible weekend!  If you didn't watch Xfinity today, it was worse for him.....   malfunction with the roof of his car.  :-(


I watched this a little while ago, and it was very good.   I don't think I can embed the vid in here, so just adding the link.

The Adventures of Janet Guthrie: How her career changed NASCAR

I saw that San! Poor BB

Almost that time.

Enjoy Aug!

I love it when they talk to the kids. Cash looks just like his dad. Guess the Bowyers and Larsons must park really close together lol.

Who is E Machine?

Well good pick on DiBenedetto. Not over yet. I remember us talking about him over the last year or so that he’s a good driver that didn’t have a good ride. That’s done.

Hey Bills!

E has been in the league since its inception.  He didn't play last year though.  If you search back in the old blogs, you will see some of his weather blogs.  His username in here is emcf30.

And poor BB!!    This was has 3rd wreck in the race!!!

Hey San. That’s why I don’t know the name, my first year was last year, pretty much. I remember the screen name weather wise. Very knowledgeable.

Why didn’t you change garage driver out? Or did you? I didn’t check first.

And I wasted Truex. Uggh

Nice win bills. Good way to start the season. Looking at the league page Truex is in your garage so you saved him.

My strategy yesterday was to play without the "big boys". Never know what Daytona will bring and true to form, the last 15 laps were a mess! Figured I'll start using them when safer to do so.

Thanks Aug. Not sure how it works, but I started Truex, then garaged him for KyB in the first stage.

Dang. Just thought about qualifying and it closed at 5.

I missed it too. Crazy day at work with Nascar being the last thing on my mind!

Way to go San and E. San- I cannot believe you didn’t start BB! I had him in the garage and there he stayed as I slept through the race. Late night celebrating with old friends. I sure ain’t a spring chicken anymore.

Yes, congrats to san and E. I've been playing 6 years or so and don't recall there every being a tie.

I hear ya bills - it's a bit tougher to recover from those nights out the older one gets.

I remembered to pick pole. But wrong again. I hate when they sit there and wait to go out.

I keep forgetting the pole! I probably would have picked wrong though.

I picked pole and missed it also!   I missed most of the race because I had some work duties to take care of.  I did see the last 10 laps though!    Go Penske!!!    I thought BB was going to pass Joey.

Hey Bills, I didn't pick up BB for Atlanta because he had the flu and couldn't even finish practice on Saturday.  I wasn't sure if he would end up having to have a replacement halfway through the race - that came back to bite me!

I thought BB was going to get him too, extra lap and he may have.
I understand San. I had him garaged but missed the race. I didn’t even know he was sick.

Nice win bills. The ladies have won the first 3 - time to share with the men (minus E and gomey), lol

Thanks Aug. I haven’t even used Chase yet lol.

Girl power

Good little vid about Stenhouse

FYI - pole pick locks at 6:05PM tomorrow

Maybe I'll remember when I get home from work tomorrow.

Stenhouse is a total jerk at times. I loved hearing Jones’ spotter call him out. That guy really needs to cool his jets at times. I way picked incorrectly on pole.
Thanks San

I guessed wrong. Again. lol

Another wrong one for me also, Bills! Surprise, surprise......

You two need to hush! Running 1-2 in the standings! My current points total of 666 leads me to believe I may be cursed this season. Been a slow start.

I'll be gone AGAIN today, so swapping my garage driver may be off the table.
