Final Standings:
Race Recap:
Our final race in Homestead saw our 3 finalists separated by 5 points, but with so little drivers from which to choose it must have felt like miles for Rusty. The good thing for Rusty is Blaney shit the bed early. Blaney kept fighting and ultimately finished 26th, but it would not be enough. Things were a little more brutal for Chonk... Newman held his lead over McMurray for the entire race and Chonk would be Champion, right? Wrong. A controversial caution put Edwards in a do or die situation and we all know what happened next... carnage. Newman is swept up in the fray and finished 25th. While Johnson was celebrating his place in history, if you looked at the bottom corner of your screen you could see McMurray and Beef doing burnouts as well. McMurray held steady all race and came home 5th giving Beef his 3rd Championship. Congratulations to Beef our 2016 NASCAR Fantassy League Champion!!!!!
Stats:
Check out the Final 3 contender's roads to the Finals and check out Beef's rise to the top! That gives A-Holes like me hope for next season for sure.
Beef did it with only 1 win, but his average finish for the entire season was 13th which is the best in our league. Chonk and Piston also averaged 13th. Rusty, Wheels, Shepard, and Graziano averaged 14th place finishes. It just goes to show you that many strategies can get you to the end, but you pretty much have to hold on to your ass when you get there... and Beef's solid steady ascent to the top proof that wins are great, but not everything when it comes to winning this thing.
