Results From Atlanta - Folds of Honor QuickTrips 500

   Who here isn't liking this new down-force package?  I personally think it's great racing and watching those cars in the turns with the drivers turning right just to keep the cars heading in the right direction is wonderful.  All that and a very worn Atlanta race track to a whooping to those goodyear tires, which ultimately helped Johnson get win #76.  An early pit stop gave him quite an advantage over Harvick who tried to run him down, but just wore out his tires.  Junior made an exciting pass to finish second at the line, beating out Kyle Busch.
   That being said, there were some penalties.  Truex nailed 15 points, while Allmendinger, Dillon, Menard and Newman were all hit for 10 a piece.  All of this is reflected in the updated pool standings.  Really bad for Colleen, who has both Newman and Menard.  I am sure all of these are being appealed and if overturned, you will all get your points back.
   In the half pool, both John M and Janice D had Jimmie to win.  And both made up ground in the standings.  Rich S, Blaster and Colleen are off to a strong start, while newcomers Jericho and Keith are at the bottom.  Long way to go, so have no fear.
   Next up...... Las Vegas baby!

Results From Daytona - Daytona 500

   Wow! What a finish.  Denny Hamlin waited for just the right opportunity and made a last lap pass for the lead, and somehow, it stuck.  Beating Martin Truex Jr. to the win by mere inches.  And with that, the 2016 season is off with a great start.  New look blog, fresh faces in our half pool, and a renewed enthusiasm for Nascar, until the announce some stupid rules change.
   Gary is off to a terrible start, looking like he did last season.  I am sure it won't last long.  James, Mark and myself had a good points day to start things off.  Lets go to Atlanta!

   In the half pool, with now 17 entries, Blaster and I top the charts with our #18 pick.  Junior believers, of course, went with the obvious pick and paid for that.  Good thing there is 17 races left.
Welcome newbies and hope you enjoy the ride and stay with us for seasons to come.
On to Georgia we go.

Results From Homestead - Ford 400

   You have all waited patiently to see these results, and your patience is going to be rewarded.  Two months before the 2016 season will start, I have finally uploaded the results this page.  Lots to talk about.  Kyle Busch wins the championship by one position over Kevin Harvick.  Nascar got what it wanted again. A win to determine the outcome of the championship.  Maybe they will re-evaluate this format when all four cars wreck at Homestead and finish 40th, 41st, 42nd and 43rd.  Wow what a thrilling way to crown a champion (say that with absolutely no enthusiasm, and that is how I meant it).  So, John wins it all, I must say that I called that one when we were done picking drivers for the second half.  He crushed it, congratulations John.  Almirola wound up costing James second and Biffle pulled it out for me to flip over James.  Congrats to James who came up just short but gets to play for free next year.  I will keep your money safe.  Gary, what happened man?  Three-peat to last, wow.  Better luck next year.
   In the half pool, Speed Inc was in contention for a third place finish, it was in Kasey Kahne's hands to keep him there.  Unfortunately, Harvick was the better pick and moved Janice D, up two and Speed Inc down two.  I now know how John M feels cashing twice in this pool.  Congratulations to John L with the big win. Many more to come for you I am sure.
   Well, that wraps up 2015.  Thanks to all who participated! Looking forward to seeing you all next year!
