OK... someone tell me who to pick for fantasy..... I am not in last place.... but durn near it! LOL

I want to Pick Tony since he has done well there in the past..... but every time I pick him he crashes!

Did you hear his in car audio?.... from Daytona?  He said that was all his fault..... he got loose and could not save it...... Brutally honest.... that's my Driver!

High in the upper 40's Sunday with a chance of rain. If it gets rained out Sunday the foirecast for next week is rain rain rain all week. They may not get it in at all. Not sure who the idiot was that made Atlanta a late Feb date but it wasn't very smart. What happened to west coast trips for this time of year?

Atlanta used to be in March and once it got snow delayed... Spring weather in Atlanta is like the weather in Arkansas... Just unpredictable.

Tony admitting he screwed up ? Has he suddenly mellowed in middle age ?  ;D

Pick Tony, its fun watching him wreck by himself

Stewart wouldn't be a bad pick there.

Not a fan of Tony but hope he has a good year after the shiit he took and still takes from idiots blaming him for that kid's death.

Harvick fastest in final practice.

Harvick loses engine in final practice...

Engine change and start in the back.  Bummer.

I'm taking a pessimistic view on the rain today.  Because of the weather Monday-Wednesday and the trip out to the west coast, this race may be rescheduled until later in the year if they can't find a way to get it to the halfway point today.

If it does get running and ends around halfway, that could really hurt a bunch of the guys stuck in the back who missed qualifying/Harvick with his engine blown.

An awesome engine helps but if Harvick can hold the throttle open more than everyone else through the turns he'll make it to the front in no time.

I just hope they don't tune his engine too far down to prevent another blow out during the race.  I guess it'll depend on if they think the whole race will go or if it'll only last 250-300 miles.  I doubt they take that gamble though, you have to assume it'll make the full 500 miles.

I'm more nervous about wrecks in the back though with the 48, 24, 20, 4, and other fast fast cars trying to get through a lot of the guys in the back before the 22 catches the back of the pack.

We saw last year that a car like the 4 can pace the field out front, but be pretty much junk in the back of traffic.

I really wanted to put him on fantasy this week but forgot to set a roster.  Guess I'm stuck hoping Denny Hamlin does good.

For the record, not a fan of competition cautions.

On lap 63 they were installing the 4th set of tires.  WTH Goodyear?

It's not only Goodyear.  I was listening to NASCAR radio earlier this week and they said they reached down and rubbed their hand on the urbane of the track and it bout cut it all up.  They said it feels like sharp gravel.

Hamlin was my main Fantasy driver today, and he got wrecked.  Gordon got it good in that wreck too.

Well looks like Harvick is seeing if we remember last year.

Fastest in all practices/qualifying, lead most the race, falls back to the bottom of the top 10 or lower in the final 50 laps.  Obviously the championship was nice, but I'd really like to not repeat this again.

And I just lost Edwards on my fantasy team.

Knaus knows how to get up front and stay there.  Not sure how Harvick's team keeps finding themselves in this spot.

I will say this is identical to how Harvick wrecked and ended up 19th in the fall Atlanta after dominating it.

Logano tried everything he could to wreck Harvick on that restart.  Just like he did at the G-W-C in the fall Atlanta race. 

And it cost Harvick 4 spots just then.

I'm ticked.

This race has been an adventure. Not sure if I like it much. Fantasy picks crashed.

 My fantasy day swings wildly lap by lap all of a sudden it seems like.  This race should have just been called at the halfway point with Harvick leading...  ;)

Harvick showing you how to lose a race.  2015 just like 2014.

Where's Hogs24 been? We may need to rush him some Prozac over with Jeff retiring. I know when Martin finally announced I was pretty bummed.

Went with Hamlin instead of Harvick which was a bad move.  I didn't watch the race due to an emergency but did that Moffit kid really run that good or did he have a lot of luck?

Kept his nose clean and stayed out of trouble.
