Let’s go racing boys.
BTTT…
RR be moving on up.
Be careful ladies, I have a few drivers waiting in the Yahoo wings!
last week was a bit rough on the fantasy league. i did great on qualifying, but the race was rough.
I got a 306 score. I have a ton of B and C to pull me out.
The A drivers I don’t really worry about. Just put a top qualifier and a top winner together.
I will use Burton this week FYI.
It’s almost horse racin’ but different. LOL
You need to all on bender! You’re getting to far back.
boogity
Throwing darts at the league roster to make my picks was a bad idea. Trying the pin the tail on the driver this week...

Dover names Nationwide race sponsor:
The Delaware Office of Highway Safety and Dover International Speedway have teamed up for the “Buckle Up 200 presented by Click It or Ticket” NASCAR Nationwide Series race, set for 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 31, 2014.
Throughout the May 30-June 1, 2014 race weekend at the Monster Mile, the Delaware Office of Highway Safety (OHS) will promote and educate fans on the importance of wearing a seat belt on every trip and the ramifications that come with failing to do so. The Click It or Ticket program, now 14 years old, is a national seat belt enforcement campaign aimed at saving lives by enforcing seat belt laws and ticketing motorists who fail to buckle up. OHS conducts year-round seat belt enforcement with state and local police agencies in Delaware, which is directed toward high crash locations and scheduled during times of the year when unrestrained crashes peak. This enforcement is coupled with several education and outreach activities throughout the state, including partnerships with schools, corporate agencies and little league organizations, as well as the “Buckle Up 200 presented by Click It or Ticket” with Dover International Speedway.(Dover Speedway)(5-20-2014)
