2010 Nascar Fantasy Crash League Championship Chase begins!!

Hi everyone. Well, now two races are under our belts and the fun has begun for real.

New Hampshire proved to be a strange race, people who wrecked actually ended up in the top 5, Cars and car chiefs were docked points, etc. Dover, may have surpassed all other tracks for sheer boredom. It felt weird to actually look forward to the mystery "debris" caution that Nascar is sure to throw out every race.

OK, here are the recaps for the first two races, followed by the accumulated scores

NOW IT ALL COUNTS!!!!! Starting 9/19/10

Practice season is over. Now all you points count!!! Make sure to get crash picks in weekly because we will accumulate points until the Homestead finale!!! The champion will get a prize package that is still growing. So dont miss a week....unless it's like last week...where we only had one person score at all (Richmond, Larry Taylor won with 10 points).

I will also begin to update the blog each week. I let it slide for a while. It's a good amount of work, and I was a tad busy. But from now on, scores will be posted, as will accumulated points.

Please also feel free to contribute a prize to the grand prize package if you wish. Let me know what it is, then just keep it and mail it to the winner after the Champion is declared.

Thanks for playing, now lets have some fun!!!!!

Aug 1 2010 POCONO SnoozeFest

Yawwwwnnnn....sorry, that was rude. As usual this race at Pocono had plenty of great racing. I mean a track where no two sections are the same? Every corner, every straightaway, different? I don't know how some of these drivers made it around once.....But, all of them seemed to make it around LOTS. There was very little action for crash league.

Take advantage of these practice weeks, because the Chase is coming up soon, and that is CUMULATIVE scoring toward a Champion for the year. I am still looking for prizes to be donated, for both weekly winners and to add to the Championship Prize package. If you are interested in sponsoring a prize, please email dmichaels66@gmail.com

And now, this weeks results:

THREE first place winners: CPBelser, HonestJohn60 and WisSmokeFan all with ONLY 20 points. It was a slow week for crash league.

WHAT HAPPENED TO JUNE!!!!!

I'm sorry particiapants....some of June got away from me. We skipped the Crash League altogether on Fathers Day, and did a trial run of a Nationwide Race RoadCourse race for another, and then there was a week where the data is just everywhere...two different computers, an email account, and it turned out to have only 2 crashes... (sounds like Loudon? Well it was). I may be able to pull all the data back for that, but I may just be able to post the winner.

I am attempting to use a new all computerized method of keeping track of picks, scoring, etc, and it may have had a few hiccups...OK, I know computeres dont good up we do...well I may have given my computer hiccups.....

Anyway, This week for Daytona, we are back!!!! And I am working on even more exciting, interactive ways to do this for next season.

Remember, in a few races it'll be time the the Race to the Championship Crash League extravaganza. Scores will COUNT each week and Accumilate to a grand champion!!! Last years Grand Champion @Allyson13 is looking good this year..better come up with a strategy!!

Pocono June 6, 2010

Well, after a lengthy rain delay, the track turned out beautiful. Plenty of grip, almost no legitimate cautions, although Nascar continues to find debris once in a while when Mike Helton or one of the France's have to go to the bathroom.

We weren't sure anyone would crash for a while, but at the very end there was a quite fun little mess to sort out. I'm always disappointed with Pocono Races, and I still am, but at least there was a few moments of fun and hours of Twitter fan controversy after.

Dover. The Monster Mile. The Boring Race....Yawn.

Yes, Dover was a boring race, but it didn't take much of our time. Swervin' Sam Hornish and Marcos Ambrose did their best to crash several times, but that's about it.
