The last 20 laps were AWESOME!!! All the lead changes, a few wrecks , Stewart didn't win it and Jeff did.

 

And can't forget a GREAT job by Jimmie Johnson, blocking the outside lane. He was HUGE!!!

 

Great way to start the season.

Too bad it was the right Jeff!

 

Brian at lap 47ish (when Ricky's tire fell apart) -> :banghead

 

Me with about 15 to go when Burton's rear end gave out (sorry, but I was started laughing when I found out it was that and not his engine as that putz DW said it was) ->

How about Kevin LaPage, I know his team is not great but hey, the nine guys who work for RJ Racing did one helluva job!

Lepage did an awesome job on both Thursday and Sunday. Hopefully he can use the money he won there and keep racing and build on that. Luckily for me I had him on my fantasy team this week so he got me alot of points.

My fantasy team bombed this week.

 

I thought it was great that Lepage got as far as he did without sponsorship.

Man I f***ed up in the Fantasy Nascar league. I have Earnhardt Jr. and Gordon in my top tier. I just so happened to activiate Earnhardt Jr. over Gordon. Yeah, Jr. finished 3rd but Gordon won!

I have JJ and JG in mine and I activated JJ instead of JG. I did pick JG in a contest I participate in on a jeff burton site I frequent though.

I always use Gordon at the big races where I want him to do bad. If he does good like yesterday I do good in my fantasy league, but if he wrecks and does bad im still gonna be happy.

After week 1:

 

1 Blown Tire in Turn 4 304

8 Fast Prawns 220

9 DBAH0 has no idea with this 0

9 Steve 0

Yay I'm in third but I'm gonna change my name from DT's Racers to something else. That sounds real stupid, I just had to make a name real quick.

Ricky Rudd: Tire issues (had this happen to him a bit last year where they were running great and relativiely new tires blow)

Jeff B: Equipment issues (see his last two years with Roush to know about the car issues he's dealt with)

Front of the pack: same group of guys (would love to see some one new up there every now and then - like when JB led for about 6 laps    )

 

It is the same s***, just a different year.

 

I am just glad Mark Martin and Rusty were in the top 10.

Like Scott Riggs? Just saying.

You're not in 3rd. I am!

He and Lepage were the only variations from last year. To each their own.

 

Now that real racing starts (as opposed to restrictor plate racing), I guess we have more of a shot of seeing differentiation.

Riggs and Nemechek are gonna be up front alot more this year I think. That team was doing pretty good at the end of last year and Riggs was going through his rookie year so I think theyll be improved.
