Aaaaannnnddddddd we're back!!! Welcome to the 2016 Nasscar Fantassy Season, and what a *&%$#ing start we had. Before we begin, I want to say howdy to all of the returning teams and introduce you to 2 new teams who feel like torturing themselves alongside of us this year. Welcome Spinning Wheels and #Mywifesaidok Racing! These 2 teams have had very opposite debuts, and we will get to that very soon. 15 teams again this year so the chip disbursement will be the same as last year. Let's get to it!
Top Picks:
What can you say about Daytona? Hamlin won the race but nobody picked him. Our top pick was a 5th Place finish by Spinning (Not sure if her nickname will be Spinning or Wheels... feel free to vote on this one). Wheels took Edwards who sustained some damage in an early incident and basically had to tuck his ass in line behind the leaders in the bottom groove. He did enough to hold on to a nice top 5 finish and get Spinning off to a great start! Great pick Spinning you are are #1 car!
Well, well, well... it didn't take long for 2015 Champ Skidmarks to mark his territory on 2016 did it? I may just call him 3 Time this year... our 2005, 2011, and 2015 Champ chose Austin Dillon who finished 9th, and gives Skid a nice launch for his back to back campaign. The rest of us better get our shit together I am thinking... Nice job Skid!
Eh...:
Jamie McMurray was our 2nd most popular pick and he finished 17th. Normally, this would not be a great pick, but since our most popular pick was our BSOTW... McMurray was a genius pick! Graziano, Beef, Piston and Empty are the geniuses of whom I speak... You guys' Eh... pick puts you in 3rd place to start the season. Not bad at all...
Kiss took Menard who finished 18th... cut and paste what I said about the McMurray pick. It puts our 2015 3rd place finisher in 7th and off to a good start for 2016. Well done!
DOOTW:
2015 2nd place finisher Rusty took 26th place finisher Vickers who was filling in for Tony Stewart. Even though he gets the stinky oven... he still finds himself in 8th place. Not too bad.
BSOTW:
Shepard and Ideal get a part of the shitty sheets this week with their bold Casey Mears pick. Mears came in 32nd but had a good speed week... it just didn't translate to a good finish in the 500. As bad as you guys feel about the week it could be worse... at least you only burned a Casey Mears pick.
It only took 170 laps for me to remember why I wanted to throw my TVs in the garbage before the Nascar season started this year. Dale Jr. started off great, but fell back in the pack. He was making a charge for a decent finish when the broadcast came back from commercial to find Jr sliding through the grass like he was doing a take for a new Mountain Dew commercial. Good times... Chonk, Dust, Pursuit, League Rookie #Mywifesaidok (What's his nickname going to be??? Hashtag), and Penguin all shit the bed this week with the Jr pick.
Other Ramblings:
Atlanta this week on Sunday.
We lose Rasta and Asleep this year, but will keep them on the mailing list for next season.
Get those payments in amigos!
Cheers!
