Well it's about darn time my No. 1 pick did something! Up until this race he was sitting back in 25th in the standings and making me consider trading him off to other teams for someone as crappy as Jeremy Mayfield. Oh, wait, I have Jeremy Mayfield already. Anyhoo, my team finished with a whopping 442 points and won our first week of the year. Woo-hoo!
Mike made a move before the race, dropping John Andretti for Sharon's cast-off, Kurt Busch. The move paid off big time as Andretti failed to qualify for the race and Busch finished 12th. Mike remains in second behind Tim "I've Got a Horshoe Up My Hootie" Fontaine. Behind those two are Sharon, John and your truly, in that order, and separated by 29 points.
On the other side of the standings, Sean
and Billy dropped even further behind Al to remain firmly entrenched in
last place, 1313 points behind Tim and 486 points behind Al. But
who's that I hear knocking on the basemaent door? Why, it's Leeto,
who dropped a yearly low of
on the board this last race to pull within 38 points of the second-to-last
place spot. Look out, Al! You've got competition for your free
beer!
