updated on 08/14

I got Landon Cassill this week in the Random Fantasy Racing game. My hopes aren't running very high with that pick.

Last week was a serious anomaly and I got Truex. This week, back to normal. Matt Tifft. More often than not this year I've had to Google the car number and see who the hell even drives it.

Got Kurt Busch. Pretty good but still not expecting to get back on that top 10 run again.

And yeaa, too often I've had to look up the entry list to find out the driver.

Same here.

So far, 0 wins, 0 top 5s and 3 top 10s. Avg Finish of 22.8

The 4th place finish I got last week when I got Truex was my only top 5. Otherwise I've had 3 top 10s and 20.7 avg finish. Glad to know we can all keep each other company at the bottom.

Bobby Hillin for me this week.

Damn Chris, lucky pick. He'll probably somehow finish higher than half our picks despite being retired.

I got carl miskotten jr

updated post with more entry lists (as they were released) + fixed inaccurate information

both K&N races are at 16 cars this weekend

Springfield now at 21 cars

Pinty's still not released

Heading to the track tomorrow and Friday for sure. Very high possibility I will end up with Saturday tickets as well. Weather actually looks pretty decent for a Bristol race weekend for once.

glad to hear the weather is looking good for yall up there

every damn year the Modifieds ran it poured it seemed like - glad they aren't running there this year tho, became a snoozer after they laid the VHT down on the bottom (and then NASCAR made it worse with the "rumored to be a surprise to all teams on race day" restrictor plates & high spoiler package)

Stay safe, man. There will literally be dozens of people present.

What I learned from going to Chicagoland this year, no fucking lines anywhere.

i got chris gehrke

40 laps in so far in the Modified race

Coby & Bonsignore running in the top 2

Only one caution has flown so far

Halfway - Still clean and green

Coby leads, Bonsignore has kept the gap short

Caution #2 - crash in turn 3

Pasteryak with a flat right front

Most of the field pits

Jon McKennedy now leads, Bonsignore got ahead of Coby as well
