Dale Earnhardt, Jr. -2 points (2 laps down) *Let the record show that I, in no way, support the calling of Dale Earnhardt's son, "Junior". For one thing, the name "Junior" in NASCAR racing is already taken. For numbers 2 through 100, he's not even the best driver with a Jr. suffix in NASCAR, let alone the rest of auto racing. Move over, Snooki. This guy is fighting you for title of "Most famous for no damned good reason".
Harvick 30 points (Top 5, Lap lead)
Sorensom -20 points (DNF)
Ruetimann -3 points (3 laps down)

The Birthday Factor

The Sweetest Temptation would like to extend Birthday Wishes to one Hansen K. Hansen today. She turns a ripe old, twenty-something. I can never remember. All I know is Digger robbed the cradle for sure, the lucky old coot.

Anyhow, some of us are in the school of thought that Hansen keeps the Digger Manor running, thus allowing Digger himself the time to tabulate our results and scores each and every week.

Also, for long time Sweetest Temptation contenders, you'll know that Hansen is reigning Fantasy Football Champion*. Let's hope she's ready to defend her title, as pigskin season is right around the corner.

The Draft lineup is the reverse order of finish, right?

Sort of Halfway

NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series is off, and, let's face it: We're not running a Nationwide Series Fantasy Racing League here.

Anywho, since it's just past half way and there's no real action this weekend, it could be a great time for a rule change. We could definitely tinker with our Chase format or points resetting, or whatever. We could even let sleepin' dogs lie. Whatever.

I'm just saying now might be a good time to do it.
