Fontana Results - Johnson Takes the Win From Harvick - Nobody Picked him, but there was Plenty of Action!

Happy Easter Weekend amigos!  Ah Springtime in late March... what a great time to be alive.  The days are longer, the flowers are blooming (ok maybe the snow is melting), the birds are chirping.  The Sweet 16 is winding down and shaping the Great 8.  Baseball season is on the verge of opening day and the Astros are looking strong.  Everything is wonderful... Well... there's this League, but other than that everything is wonderful.  

I'm kidding of course... I love this lovely league.  Even if it angers me sometimes.  I'm sure I'm the only one right?

The race was exciting with Harvick dominating, Truex looking good for a while, Johnson led some and for the most part our picks hung out near the top for most of the race.  But that is not how it ended.

TOP PICKS:

Johnson took the lead for good late in the race... there was some drama , but he beat Rusty's pick Harvick (2nd) and kept Rusty from getting his 1st win.  Rusty gets a nice points day and moved into 2nd place only 7 points out of the top spot.  Congrats Rusty!

Graziano took the 3rd place car of Hamlin.  Graziano gains 2 spots and sits in 9th just 2 points away from our Elite 8.  Good job Graz!

Wheels and Beef chose 4th place Logano.  Our League leader moves out of a tie for 1st and now has a 7 point lead over brother in law Rusty.  The holidays may be a little tense in that clan... Meanwhile Beef breaks into the Elite 8 moving up 2 spots to 7th.  Well Done guys!

Edwards was our most popular pick this week and he finished 7th.  Piston, Shepard, Dust, Empty, and Ideal all took Edwards.  Piston, Shepard and Dust keep their 4th, 5th, and 6th place spots.  Ideal jumps up 2 spots to 8th and Empty moves up a spot to a tie for 11th.  Solid race fellas!

Eh... + Dutch Oven:

Skidmarks and Penguin land in the Oven this week by choosing pole sitter Austin Dillon (24th).  He didn't go from pole sitter to bed shitter but it wasn't a good week.  Skid falls to 3rd dropping 2 spots and out of a tie for 1st.  Penguin falls 3 spots out of the Elite 8 to 11th.

Hashtag, Chonk and Pursuit chose 25th place car Kyle Busch.  Kyle looked like he would challenge for the win, but had tire issues.  Lesser drivers may have wrecked out of the race, but it still earns these guys a spot in the stinky oven.  #Wifey drops 3 spots to 10th and Chonk and Pursuit actually gain a spot to 13th.

BSOTW:  

Truex had a strong car and led the race for a little while.  He's pissed at Logano for getting him loose without even touching him... this ended up in him loosing control and pooping all over his sheets... His 32nd place finish drops Kiss 2 spots to 15th.  

OTHER RAMBLINGS:  

Martinsville in 2 Sundays... We get the weekend off.

It is still early, but it must be nice to have a win or 2 in the bank.  For those of us with 0 wins, is it time to panic a little?  Probably not, but I'm ready to pop my win cherry in Martinsville.

Have a great holiday weekend guys!  Go Jesus!

Cheers!
