A final 2015 howdy to all Race Fans! I hope everyone had a nice and safe Thanksgiving. Thanks for letting me be commissioner again for a 3rd year and thanks for a wonderful and exciting 2015 NASCAR Fantassy League Season!
Race Recap - WOW!
Holy Shit! What a final race! Do you guys agree??? Skid took Hamlin who had a fluid leak, had to go to the garage and went 3 laps down and was 43rd for a while during the race... Rusty took Kahne who cut a tire and was 42nd at one point in this race and at least 1 lap down. Kiss took Newman who was slow and steady all race. Kiss's erection was not slow and steady I am sure*.
*not sure, but can only imagine the perfect storm of excitement that was brewing at the Kiss the Wall household as they watched these unlikely events unfold.
Could it actually happen??? I even told Kiss prior to the race that he was a long shot, but I've seen strange things happen in this league. Why couldn't strange things happen in the final race???
They did.
Hamlin has a fluid leak and goes to the garage... Rusty finds himself in 1st, Kiss 2nd, and Skid 3 laps down in the garage and now from 1st to 3rd in a matter of minutes. In the garage and only lost 3 laps... how the f*ck does that happen. My guy would have been 30 laps down minimum. Fast forward to lap 40 something... Bam! Kahne cuts a tire and hits the wall!!! Are you kidding me??? Rusty's erection slams into the wall as well... he goes from 1st to 3rd. Skid moves up to 2nd, and you guessed it... Kiss takes the lead!!! Holy Shit is right!!! Could it actually happen???
It didn't happen.
Hamlin raced and Lucky Dogged his ass all the way back on the lead lap to finish 10th! Kahne took the wave around and steadily worked his way up to a 19th place finish, and Newman had a good run but finished 16th in the end. Nascar has it right in my opinion. Kyle Busch had to win the race to get the title over Harvick, Truex and Gordon. Our League has it right as well... 3 teams battle over the final 2 races with each team having a shot on the final day.
We Have a Winner! Congratulations to Skidmarks, our 2015 NASCAR Fantassy League Champion!!!!!:
Skidmarks was our most consistent leader all year and had the most quality drivers left in the end which helped him secure his 3rd Championship. Wow! From those of us who are still aspiring for our 1st Championship, let me say - that is amazing and a job well done! Skid never dropped below 6th all year and only spent 3 weeks all fng year out of a money spot. He spent 8 weeks (22%) in the #1 spot... including, most importantly, the final 4 weeks. Any questions on who was the best this year?
Skid will be eating 1700 chips!

Rusty was solid as well posting some impressive stats. He was 10 weeks out of the money all year, but get this... 4 of which were during the Chase. 5 weeks at #1, none at #1 during the Chase. 15 weeks in the #3 spot... 10 in a row at one point! The final 3 weeks were in the 2nd spot... which is nice. A nice 2nd place finish for our 2006 Champ (I was co-owner of that team, but made almost 0 decisions)!
Rusty will be eating 750 chips!
Kiss was another worthy challenger. Our 2010 Champ gets a nice 3rd place finish! Kiss had the most wins of anyone this year with 6. He also spent 8 weeks at #1, but 6 of which were in the early rounds of the Chase! Maybe he used up all of his stuff trying to get to the Finisher Round, but hey... he's eating chips this Holiday Season and 12 of us aren't. He spent 22 weeks out of a money spot, but made it to the Chase in one of the qualifying spots which secured him the most Bonus Points to start his Chase run. During the Chase he never dropped out of a money spot! Congrats Kiss on a solid year!
Kiss will be eating 350 chips!
I hope to see everyone back again in 2016... we have plenty of room to grow, so keep inviting people to join us. The more the merrier... plus more chips to eat.
Thanks again for another great season!
The Laviolette family wishes you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a happy and safe Holiday Season!
Cheers!
