If You Ain’t First, You’re Last
By Wyatt Earp | January 25, 2010
Our Yahoo! NASCAR fantasy league is set up again and ready to roll. With the Daytona 500 only a few weeks away, it’s time to break out your restrictor plates, bad tattoos, and wife beaters.
Okay, I realize that a NASCAR fantasy league is right down there with fantasy bull riding, but for racing fans like myself, it’s a good way to keep the fantasy leagues rolling on. Besides, I hate baseball, and this fills the void. This is the fourth year for the league, and I’m happy to be running it. Of course, I would be happier if my picks didn’t suck rocks every week, but what are you gonna do?
If you’re interested, click on this link, sign up (it’s free), and select Join a Custom League. The information you need is in the screen cap above.
UPDATE: So far, RT, Jim, Robert (who just got married, by the way), Sally Anne, Variable Feedback, and Randal Graves are in. Registration is open until the second week of February.

I know that she ain’t a NASCAR driver, but I’ll stick with Danica as my very favorite driver!
Watuschskie – She’s actually running Nationwide races this year. Nationwide is NASCAR’s minor league series. There’s much more money in NASCAR than in IRL.
I realize being a Hoosier that this should interest me, but it doesn’t. The Pinewood Derby is a lot more fun. (That and Charlie scored 4th place tonight. Proud Mom moment.) Besides, with the Pinewood Derby, pizza is included.
Ok, so I hijacked your comment section to brag about my son and I freely admit it.
I’d kill for a Wonder Bread jacket.
Nascar shouldn’t even be listed as racing. Racing requires you to turn both ways every race, and have open wheels.
“If you ain’t rubbin’ you ain’t racin” is for guys who can’t drive and need to bounce off other cars to make it around the track.
Wyatt, we’re 20 minutes from Bristol.
Wyatt – I ain’t after money. I’m after Danica!
Bigger holes in the restricter plates, swappin’ wings for spoilers, bump draftin’ at the supers, And I’m goin’ to Daytona!!!!
EEEYAAAAHOOOOOO!
Oh heck, I’ll play… I need a good excuse to go out to lunch on Sundays.
Kim – Congratulations! 4th is nothing to sneeze at.
Mrs. Crankipants – I could picture you in one. Maybe for your birthday . . .
CP – They turn left at road courses, and open wheel is chock full o’ foreigners. Pass.
Piper – I hate you. I’ve been to Pocono, Dover, Richmond, and Daytona, but my dream is to attend a Bristol race.
Watuschskie – You and me both.
1oldleg – Don’t know if you’ve been there before, but it’s a fantastic place to see a race. I saw the Pepsi 400 in 2001. Dale Jr won the first race there after Dale Sr died.
Sally Anne – Whoo hoo!
Isn’t a fantasy NASCAR league kind of just a step up from that all white basketball league? MUD
CP – If F-1 drivers are so much better because they turn left and right then how come Juan Pablo Montoya didn’t win all the races last year?
Mrs. C the irony of that movie was that Wonder Bread became a Mexican owned company right before the movie came out.
Ingineer, the flip side would be why has Tony Stewart been so successful in NASCAR, because he started in open wheels.
Wyatt, if you need to watch closed wheels with mostly Americans, check out some of the IMSA races. Run on road courses with much closer to stock vehicles than “stock car” racing has seen in 25 years.
Better yet, get a decent old Neon and join SCCA and find out why guys who turn both ways all the time laugh about NASCAR.
