Sonoma Results - Smoke Smokes the Field!!!!

Yo yo Amigos y Amigas!  No one picked Sonoma race winner Tony Stewart, but we do have a new leader and a little shuffling in the middle of the pack.  I think our 4 distinct packs are now 3... no real bed shitters this week so we'll recap Sonoma real quick as we get ready for Daytona on Saturday.

TOP PICKS:

#Wifey and Chonk took 4th place Edwards - They both move up 1 spot this week - #Wifey 6th and Chonk 8th.

Graziano and Wheels took 5th place Truex Jr. - Graz stays in 5th while Wheels moves up 1 to 9th.  

Piston and Beef took 10th place Kurt Busch - Piston has solo possession of the lead once again and Beef stays in 12th.  

Nice Job Guys and Gal!

EH.../DOOTW/BSOTW:

Ok so Dust and Pursuit would have the BSOTW this week (McMurray 17th) since Dust drops out of the Elite 8 to 10th and Pursuit stays in last... I think it is worthy of a BSOTW award but not a bad one.  Rusty would have the DOOTW (Menard 16th) and he drops out of 1st to 2nd... not too bad either.

Kiss gets a 12 place finish from Larson and our most popular pick AJ Allmendinger finished 14th for Ideal, Shepard, Penguin, Skidmarks and Empty.  

OTHER RAMBLINGS:

 Daytona this week on Saturday night!  Don't forget your picks...

Do we have 3 packs now???  That top 5 seem to be pulling away... the middle 7 seem to be swapping spots each week... The last 3 teams haven't made any ground in a while.  Is it time for anyone to change strategies???  Rusty with his 3 wins has a chance to finish on top and rake in all of those bonus points to boot, but is that worth using up all of your stuff?  Or do you save fuel and coast around the track?  I think we'll see a blended strategy out of the top guys while some of the middle guys will be going for wins and big gains over the next several races.  Those bottom 1 win teams will probably be going hard and picking the race favorites if they have them available.  The issue is that these races are sofa king unpredictable that even your best strategy may not mean a damn thing when the smoke clears... This is why we love to hate this League... Isn't it?

Good luck in Daytona!  I hope you are planning a nice and safe Holiday Weekend!

Cheers!
