Nascar Fantassy League Final Results - Congrats to Our 2017 Champion Shepard!!!!!

Well my amigos and amigas, we have come to the end of another great season and it is time to crown our 2017 Champion Shepard!  I have to say that the dominant team won it again this year.  Shepard started out slow in the 1st 3 weeks but quickly made a home in the Elite 8 and ran at the top from there on... including 15 consecutive weeks in the number 1 spot to close out the season!  Wow!  I hope Jeff is hungry because he has 1920 chips coming his way just in time for the holiday season.

Congrats also to Let's Go and Skidmarks!  

Lets go definitely made it interesting in Homestead with her Larson pick, but came up a little short in the end.  An impressive debut for this rookie for sure.  800 chips coming your way!  

Skidmarks seems to always be in the mix and I am sure this 3 time champion will be back in the mix next year.  480 Chips coming your way!  

Thanks again for a great season!  I wish you all a safe and enjoyable holiday season!

Cheers!

Phoenix Results - Race 1 of the Nut Buster Round is in the Books! Shepard Increases His Lead... 1 Race to GOOOOOOOOO!

Hey Kids!  Race 1 of the Nut Buster is complete and the season comes down to Homestead.  Shepard has a nice 17 point lead thanks to his Kyle Busch pick... wow!  He still had Kyle Busch left and ran at or near the top for most of the season.  He still has Truex Jr. as well BTW.  Pretty impressive stuff from Shepard, but we are not done yet.  Skidmarks and rookie Lets Go have been worthy opponents all season and definitely for the entire Chase.  

 Looking at who each team has left to start, the final race strategy seems pretty clear for these teams... but things always have a way of surprising us in this League.  My advice to the 3 of you is to strap yourself in and hang on to your arse!  

Congratulations again for making it to this point... you are all winners.  But there will only be 1 Champion*!

*Maybe

CHIPS ANYONE???:

2017 Payout
Place		Total Chips	3200
1st	1920
2nd	800
3rd	480
Total	3200

Good luck to the 3 of you!

Cheers!

Texas Results - And Then There Were 3 - Bring on the Finisher Round!!!!!

The final race of the Fluffer is in the books!  Honestly, I thought we would have had some shake up in this round, but the Top 3 held their ground and are moving on to the Finisher!

We lose Dust and Ideal... Sorry guys.  You had great drivers left for the round, but issues with both cars cost you in this very short round.  Congrats on a great season!

But we're not done yet!  Shepard, Skidmarks and Lets Go will battle it out over the next 2 races to decide this thing!  Who will be the 2017 Champ???

Remember the points reset to 2000 for each team, and since only Shepard got a stage win in the Fluffer Round he will start with 2001 points.  Any Wins or Stage Wins during the final 2 races will be added on to your point total after the round.

So..... Here's how we look to start the Finisher:

Good luck the rest of the way to you 3 lucky mofos!

Cheers!

Martinsville Results - 4 out of 5 Choose Logano - Meaning nothing Much Changed This Week - On to Texas for the Last Fluffer Race!!!!

Sorry for the late post guys, but I've been drunk for... about a month.  Yay Stros!

Martinsville was pretty uneventful, but that is eventful if you think about it.  With only 1 Fluffer Race left Ideal and Dust will need to make something happen.  While Lets Go, Shepard, and Skid will try to hang on.

Texas this week!

Good Luck!

Cheers,

Kansas Results - Teaser Round Complete! On to the Fluffer!!!

TEASER ROUND COMPLETE:

Another race, another Truex win... and man could Rusty and Chonk have used a win in Kansas.  Rusty almost caught Skidmarks by choosing Jimmie Johnson while Skid's McMurray pick ended with a huge wreck.  In the end, Rusty fell short just 3 points from moving on.  Chonk also took McMurray who needed to win to get him to the Fluffer.  Congratulations to Rusty and Chonk on another impressive season!  So we say goodbye to Rusty and Chonk and we say welcome to the Fulffer Round to Shepard, Skidmarks, Lets Go, Dust, and Ideal!

On To The 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

FLUFFER ROUND LEADERBOARD:

You will see that your point total will reflect 3 Bonus Points for your Teaser Round Wins and/or 1 Bonus Point for each of your stage wins.  Points are still accumulating.

Just 2 races in the Fluffer Round and only 3 teams will make the Finisher Round... meaning that we will be saying goodbye to 2 more teams this round!  Shepard is looking like our version of Truex Jr. and has a nice 76 point lead.  However, I do not think Skid, Lets Go, Dust and Ideal are going to lay down and let him take this thing home without a fight.  Plus we will be resetting points at the end of this round and adding any race win or stage win Bonus Points to the 2000 point total of each team to start the Finisher. 

But we aren't there yet!  2 more huge races still need to be run to get there.

Congrats on making it to this point guys and gal!  I wish you all the best in the Fluffer Round!

Go Stros!

Cheers!

Dega Results - Race 2 of Teaser Round Complete - Keselowski Gets a Huge Win for 3 Teams - 1 To Go Before the Fluffer!!!!!!

Congrats to Lets Go, Dust and Ideal for taking Keselowski this week who brought home the checkered flag!  This basically guarantees them a spot in the Fluffer and gives them Bonus Points for the Win and the Stage 1 win Bonus Point to boot.  Shepard took Blaney who won Stage 2 so he will get a Bonus Point should he move on the the Fluffer. 

3 teams are basically locked in and they run 3, 4 & 5th.  This causes issues for Rusty and Chonk as they now are chasing 2nd place if they are to advance on points.  They are 22 and 40 points behind Skidmarks after race 2 of the Teaser. 

This also causes a little stress to Skidmarks and maybe even Shepard... If Rusty or Chonk get a win in Kansas this week and Skidmarks does not... he could find himself on the outside looking in.  If both Rusty and Chonk pick the same driver who manages to win the race and Skid and Shepard do not... well you get the picture.  The last scenario is unlikely given the driver selections left, but strange sh*t happens in this League all the time.

Kansas this week on Sunday where we will lose 2 more teams when the smoke clears and the dust settles.  Good luck to all!

Go Stros!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers!

Charlotte Results - Teaser Round Race 1 Complete! Lets Go Gets the Win!

Congrats to Lets Go for the Win!!!  2 more to go in this round and it is pretty tight.  Lets Go is locked in unless 5 more teams get wins and finish higher in points... so I think she's locked in right?  Just like Truex Jr. was saying... it's nice to get that win before going into 'Dega...

Keep digging boys and girls!  2 More to go in the Teaser!!!!
