ATOT Fantasy Nascar 2014

That sucked... two guys on my team lost a tire in the last few laps while they were in the top 5

craptastic race, almost as bad as atlanta a couple years ago where they had a mandatory flag every 25 laps.

I think I have had 2 or more drivers finish laps down all year! One point today all 5 in top 20 but in the end only 2 finished on the lead lap. LOL! oh well, I'm gona catch a break one of these weeks!

Still fun and gives me a reason to watch since Mark Martin retired...again.

And yeah, the tire situation sucked, but they had to have known what they were getting into dialing in that much camber whether it was legal or not.

Did I mention how much I hate picking drivers at Talladega lately? It's a damn wreck fest!

I shoulda picked Josh Wise in the friggin Dogecoin car... he's doing better than most of the drivers I picked today

 

[darrontrask]

Every driver I picked wrecked at one point today! I have never been this bad. I guess I need to playout this segment and hope for a remarkable rebound in the 2nd and playoffs.

Friggin Himer's Heroes is running away with it this year!

Ha, I swapped out Clint Bower (finished 3rd) for Joey Logano (crashed) at the last minute, or I would have scored over 400 points last week. That's not the first time Joey Logano has burned me.

Anyway, the Fox site sure seems to be down a lot. Even when it's up it rarely seems to shows qualifying positions, even well after qualifying has finished. Or is it just me?

Fox's fantasy is a terrible setup. I like yahoo better.

I noticed is that the site occasionally shows me the picks that I made for a race, and THEN covers it up with the logon screen. What in the hell is that?

Does anybody know a better fantasy site than this one or Yahoo's site for next year?

It's definitely different. Earning points for how well the drivers finishes and how well they improve from their starting position adds a whole new wrinkle to the scoring.

Last week they had some wacky qualifying with several good drivers seemingly happy to start in the back. It created the opportunity to pick some drivers I might not otherwise have picked because of it.

We should make sure to thank our friends at reddit.com for making sure that Danica Patrick did NOT win the Sprint fan vote for the All Star race this year

 

[Paladin3]

Dang, it's the second week in a row I forgot to pick a new team. Low points for me.

Damn, RIP Kevin Ward Jr. and condolences to the family. Tony made the right decision to skip the race after something like that happening. I was kind of shocked to see the media all over how terrible this was for Tony, while only mentioning Kevin Ward Jr. in passing. You'd have thought Tony died from the coverage I saw.

Way stoked to see Dinger win his first Sprint Cup race. WTG Dinger!

Fuckity-fuck-fuck! Crappy week with Danica leading my team with 47 points to a rousing 97 point total. Damn.

You know you had a bad week when Danica Patrick is your best scoring driver

 

[lupi]

finally went and read the rules near end of the first segment. been scoring better since but probably gave too much distance to catch up.

 

[Paladin3]

Congrats Kevin Harvick. Was rooting a bit for Hamlin, but watching Kevin win was pretty cool. Almost shed a tear for Joey when that jack came off his car.

Question: what was up with Gordon pitting late? Did he lose a tire or something? Why did he pit and give up all those spots after choosing not to pit on the previous yellow? I think I heard something about smoke from his tires just before that? Did he spin them a bit or loose one?

 

[ultimatebob]

Any recommendations on which fantasy site we use next year? The Fox site sucked even more than the Yahoo one did.

Oh, and I came in third overall again. At least I won the fall segment!
