MARTINSVILLE smartinsville...

This race is on Sunday. No idea why I was confused last week. Leave your picks here:

BRISTOL RESULTS

Poor Chip. Should have believed a little harder.

Results:

Ali -- 5.4
Melody -- 12.4
John -- 13
JC -- 13.2
Erik -- 16.6
Chip -- 22.4

Congrats to Ali who picked finishers 1,2,3, and 4!! (and 17) Amazing!

I don't have any commentary this weekend because I was so busy with Madelyn's birthday, I didn't watch the race. So I will just award driver crush of the week to gool ol' Kasey Kahne and call it a week.

BRISTOL - Welcome to Thunder Valley!

Go ahead and make your picks... and good luck!

CUMULATIVE RESULTS

Hi all, to date, after 4 races, here are the standings:

Erik -- 13.65
John -- 15
JC - 15.05
Ali -- 15.3
Chip -- 16.85
Melody -- 17.25

It's a very close race!! Congrats to Erik. This should make you feel better about all those super close losses!

ATLANTA RESULTS

Wow! Everyone did great this week! Results:

Chip -- 7.4
Erik -- 8
JC -- 9.8
Ali -- 14.6
Melody -- 15.2
John -- 16

Congrats to Ali! We have an off-week next week, during which I will post running results for the season so far. To hold you over until then -- thoughts on Atlanta:

1) Is there an emoticon for a yawn? ;-O ?
2) When will people learn to stop picking Mark Martin? He's like the Kasey Kahne of 2009.
3) Tony keeps finishing 8th! He has finished 8th in all races this year except Vegas. Weird.
4) Driver Crush of the Week -- Nobody floated my boat this week, so instead, I'm going to list people who will never qualify for the DCOTW. Apologies to Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, David Reutimann, Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth, Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon.
5) What is up with Mark Martin's face? Seriously! He is only 49 years old?! He has some kind of Benjamin Button disease going on or something because the dude could easily pass for 72.

ATLANTA - Erik's Hood!

Make your picks here! Same rules apply...

VEGAS RESULTS

I have to admit, I was too depressed about my last minute driver change to post the results any earlier this week. What a bone-headed move. That is the last time I listen to the pre-race garbage, in which they were saying the Toyotas were DOOMED and Kurt Busch looked strong to repeat. Ugh. Anyway, congrats to this week's winner -- Ali! Results:

John -- 18.4
Melody -- 27.8
Chip -- 21.8
Erik -- 16
JC -- 17
Ali -- 15.8

Yes, Erik, you lost by .2 AGAIN!! Ha!

My thoughts this week:

1) Every year DW and Jeff Hammond wear the Elvis wig and glasses. Every year it makes me laugh!

2) Chris Myers = Not funny.

3) Driver crush of the week = Bobby Labonte. You have always been a good looking man, my friend. But you never qualified for DCOTW before because you have always sucked so bad. It was nice to see you running up front!

4) Ali pulls out his win by going against the crowd. Pretty much everyone picked the same 8 or so drivers. Ali was the only person to pick Denny Hamlin. Something to think about....

Next....HOTlanta!
