Yeah, Newman’s track position isn’t exactly looking good for the start of this one.

What do we got here … Martin & Kahne against Junior & Gordon, with a few extra bonus points for our locks of the week.
Looking at qualifying, this should be a pretty interesting week between us.

I hope so … I’ve got him on my fantasy team because I forgot to change my lineup this week!

Yeah, Roc … I actually hadn’t realized qualifying was Thursday, either. My team’s still pretty solid - especially considering the format of the league - but, Newman’s looking like he could be my straggler this week in the league.

with one zero your team is about the same as mine it looked like you used a driver more than four times.

Damn. You’re right. I went back and checked, and I’m not getting the points for Biffle because last week was the fourth time I’d used him. That sucks, cause I’d have had a fairly stout team otherwise.
