Talladega & Teaser Results - 5 Teams Prepare for the Fluffer Round - 2 Teams Drop Out!!

We are losing 2 extremely strong teams this round.  Truex shit the bed and slams Piston's Championship run into the wall.  Kyle Busch's 30th place finish when Graziano needed a win ends his Championship hopes as well.  It was a great season and run for these guys, but we'll have to say goodbye to them for now.  

Piston's loss is Shepard's gain.  Shepard's Dillon pick was enough to get him by Piston by 10 points.  Chonk, Rusty, Beef, and Ideal hold onto their spots. 

ON TO THE FLUFFER:

Congratulations to Chonk, Rusty, Beef, Shepard, and Ideal for making it to the next round!  Chonk and Ideal will get 3 Bonus points each to begin the round because of their wins in the Teaser Round.  Their total above will be adjusted to reflect the Bonus Points when I post the results of the next race.

      FLUFFER RULES REFRESHER:

• Third round (races 33 & 34) - “The Fluffer”
• The top three teams based on points accumulated during races 27-34 will advance to the final round
• Wins automatically advance teams; same format for balance of filling in the teams and tiebreakers applies

OTHER RAMBLINGS:

Martinsville this week on Sunday!

Interesting Chart below.  I think it's interesting to see where our leaders ran all season long... Piston ran at the top all year.  Graz was up there as well.  

Good luck to our Final Fabulous Five!

Cheers!

TallaDangIt Drivers... Who Will Move On????!!!!????!!!!????

Chonk - Stenhouse Jr
Ideal - Mears
Rusty - Elliott
Piston - Truex Jr
Beef - Blaney
Graziano - Kyle Busch
Shepard - Dillon

Kansas Results - Another Team Punches His Ticket to the Fluffer Round - 2 Teams Hold Tickets to the Fluffer Round* - Who Will Grab the Remaining 3 Spots???!!!???!!!

Round 2 of the Teaser in Kansas was action packed.  Ideal took Race Winner Harvick and unless 4 or 5 teams pick the next race winner AND finish higher in total point than he does in the top 5... he is locked in the Fluffer Round.  I'll go waaay out on a limb and say he and Chonk now hold 2 of the 5 available Fluffer spots.

So that presents us with an interesting situation.  Ideal now sits in 6th with a win in this round, so he really kind of holds the 2nd spot as he is pretty much guaranteed to move on.  Shepard sits in 5th from a points standings perspective, but since only 5 spots will move on to the Fluffer and Ideal who sits in 6th has a win in the Round... Shepard is really sitting in 6th.  So Shepard and Graziano (7th) are the 2 teams on the outside looking in as we come to the 3rd Teaser Round race.  

To make it even more interesting... that 3rd race happens to be in Talladega.  I usually would be saying that Graz and Shepard  must try to find a way to get a win on Sunday to move on but we're going to Talladega.  

Let's assume Chonk and Ideal are a lock.  That leaves Piston, Rusty, Beef, Shepard and Graziano left to fight for the last 3 available spots.  2 teams will be left out on Sunday but all 5 teams are vulnerable.  21 points separate Piston, Rusty, Beef, and Shepard and Graziano trails a qualifying spot by 30 points.  If Graziano can't get a win, it's basically 4 teams fighting for 3 spots.  If Graziano can somehow pick the race winner... and I think he may need to do just that... it gets even more interesting.  That means that those same 4 teams will be fighting for 2 spots.  

Talladega is a perfect race for some crazy shit to happen.  Some will choose right and some will choose wrong this weekend for sure.  I think Chonk and Ideal are loving life right about now.  The rest of you lucky fools have some work to do to get into the Fluffer.

Good luck fellas!

Cheers!

Charlotte Results - Chonk Chose Race Winner Johnson and Punches His Ticket to the Fluffer!!!!

We had to wait a day for Hurricane Matthew to pass N.C., but Chonk didn't mind.  TOP PICK Johnson dominated the race and locked Chonk into the Fluffer.  With race 1 of 3 of the Teaser Round in the books with Kansas and Talladega (especially Talladega) looming, it must be pretty F-ing nice to have that win under your belt.  He moves up to the top spot which is also huge since points accumulate through the Fluffer Round.  AND he'll get 3 Bonus Points added to his points for the Fluffer.  Congratulations Chonk!!!  

Beef and Piston also had TOP 10 picks.  Beef took Kahne who had a solid race and came in 3rd.  Beef moves up to 6th just 1 spot and 5 points away from the top 5.  Piston took Kyle Busch who had an up and down day, but somehow (f*ckngly amazingly) came in 6th.  Well done fellas!!!

Shepard and Grazinao took Truex Jr. who has emerged as the favorite to win it all this year.  He may want to not wreck the field on the way to trying to bring home the Championship if he wants to achieve this goal.  He ended up EH... 13th and Shepard stays in 2nd and Graziano stays in 5th; clinging to the final spot to get into the Fluffer.  

Rusty and Ideal didn't fare so well...  Rusty took Hamlin who looked like he may challenge Johnson at some point for the lead but blew an engine late in the race to DOOTW in 30th.  Rusty drops to 4th so it could be worse.  Ideal had the BSOTW this week with his 36th place Logano pick.  Ideal is in 7th and 26 points away from 5th... he'll most likely need 2 solid races or a win if he wants to make it to the Fluffer.

OTHER RAMBLINGS:

Our League looked a bit like the actual NASCAR Chase as we had some guys kicking ass and some shitting the bed.  We have Kansas on Sunday which is usually more predictable than Talladega, but so is Charlotte... and we saw how that worked out.  Available drivers is also an issue, so there's that.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it will play out... the only thing that is for certain is that Chonk will be in Fluffer Round.  

Good luck in Kansas on Sunday!

Cheers!

Dover Results - The Rookies are Out...Damn! - On to the Teaser Round!!!!

Wow!  What a solid week the top 7 had in Dover... and they needed it.  Okay #Wifey took Harvick who shit the bed early on and ended any chance #Wifey had of moving on.  Would it have mattered?  The top 7 teams had such a solid day that maybe only a win would have guaranteed him a spot in the Teaser Round.  Look at Wheels... she gets a solid 3rd place finish from Chase and only gains 3 points on Beef who held on to the 7th spot.  Please stop reading this right now and give a round of applause for our 2 rookies for an outstanding 1st season (of many).  Congratulations also to our TOP 7!  Rusty, Shepard, Piston, Chonk, Graziano, Ideal, and Beef will all be battling it out for 5 spots in the Teaser Round.  Well done guys!

Here's a little Rules Refresher for you:

• Second round (races 30-32) - “The Teaser”
• The top five teams based on points accumulated during races 27-32 will advance to the 3rd round
• Wins automatically advance teams; same format for filling in the balance of teams and tiebreakers applies

So here's all you need to do... get a win.  Wins are usually a good thing.  AND keep having solid weeks.  Points are accumulating from the Flirter to the Fluffer (1st through 3rd Rounds), so even if you get a win you still need to post solid points each race.  The pressure will stay on the whole way... and it must be nice.  

OTHER RAMBLINGS:

Charlotte on Saturday, but I know you fools are so locked in that you won't forget to submit.

Teaser race 1 of 3.  We are pretty bunched up after 3 Chase Races, so no one is relaxing just yet.  Are you going to go balls to the wall or play it conservative and save your stuff???   I'm sure if I was in it I would be screwing it up for sure... what you gonna do?

Good luck to all!

Cheers!
