Bristol Results - The #31 wins!

I love Sundays. I sit on the couch with the dog snoring next to me. I watch 43 cars run in a circle, maybe napping for a portion of that time, and then after 500 (or so) laps I get to see the #31 in victory lane. Even better, I picked my favorite driver this week. Nothing is more difficult for a fantasy leaguer than to agonize over whether to pick your favorite player or not for fear you are acting on emotion rather than intelligence. In this case, it worked in my favor.

They couldn't have done it without me

As I stated earlier in this blog, I watched the #18 car spinning. Nothing makes me happier each week than watching that car wreck. I'm not sure what it is. Even when Sadler was behind the wheel of the Ford version, and then Gilliland - watching that yellow M&M's car out of control was enjoyable. Having Kyle Busch behind the wheel just makes it that much more satisfying. You have to give Busch credit, though. Every week he looks like the car to beat. He just seems to hang it out there a little too far some times and then I spill my root beer jumping off the couch in glee. When he does manage to keep the car under him, he wins though. I guess I have to respect that.

Well, here are the standings after today's race. Please note that I originally had Inskeep's pick incorrect. As soon as he saw it he let me know (he had texted the #16 to me earlier this week, and I forgot about it). I knew someone had Biffle, i just couldn't figure out who. Please follow his example if you see any mistakes. I'm not perfect, but I try.

Jon is pulling away slightly by making some great picks. 5th is his worst finish so far. I have 2nd place right now with 2 victories, but an 11th place from the #18 is holding me back. Go figure.
