Well, that didnt take long. The "big one" just took out about 20 cars on lap 8. My day is shot as far as points go. Gordon and Kahne are both out, Stewart has some damage. Dont know how Regan Smith fared.

Ugh.

Damnit. I traded Jimmy Johnson back for Jeff Gordon last night. Oh well. The rest of my team is still in it.

I wasn't paying attention. Who got caught up in the 2nd caution?

just a debris caution, no wrecks...

Jeff Burton lost his electrical system and they are swapping out the battery.

Oh ok. I checked the live scoring and Truex had dropped back from the lead to 5th and wondered what had happened. That first wreck was AWESOME though!

Not trying to jinx myself but I'm not doing half bad right now, all things considered. 674 pts right now.

I've got:
Jeff Gordon
Kyle Busch
Martin Truex Jr
Juan Pablo Montoya
Ryan Newman

EDIT: down to 632 pts now.

I'ts fruitless to look at points before the checkered flag at a restrictor plate track. Drivers can (and have) gone from the lead at the white flag, to finishing 25th at the checkers. All you can do is hope your guys are on the lead lap on the final lap and that they get a good run to the checkers.

511 right now. Martin has been good to me for a while. Today, not so much. What happened to him?

I need to get rid of Almendinger. He is supposed to be a young guy with potential to podium. Has not done much at all this year. There has to be a better way to use that roster money.

That's a good point. It's just fun to watch the points too and weigh in against everyone else. Are you worried I'm going to beat you again this week, Jeff?
