CUMULATIVE RESULTS - Mid-Summer

One more thing about Indy -- really, Robby Gordon? Crashing on the FIRST LAP?! I mean, I know you crash every race anyway, so I guess it's good to get it over with. But next week try to hold on for more than one lap, man! Or join the Saturday night demolition derby instead. It might suit you better!

Anyway, cumulative results to date:

JC -- 6.95
Erik -- 8.80
John -- 8.84
Melody -- 9.23
Ali -- 10.15
Chip -- 10.495

Nice second place battle going on there!

INDY RESULTS

Hi people-
Discussion Topic: Did Montoya really speed down the pit road? Was NASCAR controlling the race outcome by dinging him on that? What can Montoya do? He can't request to review the footage -- NASCAR owns it. He swore (read in a Spanish accent!) on his mother, his wife and his cheeeeeeldren that he was not speeding! Had he not been penalized, Chip would have won handily this week, picking 1, 2, 3, 4 and 10. But, alas, he ends up picking 1,2,3, 10 and 11 instead....AND STILL WINS. Thank god. I would hate for Chip to have to go hop on a plane in Burbank, break into Mike Helton's office in Daytona Beach, throttle him, and end up in jail. Because last time I was in Daytona, I didn't even get to see the beach (ahem, CHIP), so if I have to fly to Daytona to bail him out -- I am going to the beach first!

You know who really benefited from the penalty? Erik. He had awesome picks that did not include Montoya (picked 1, 2, 3, 9, 15). Congrats on an awesome second place score, Erik.

Anyway, results:

Chip -- 5.4
Erik -- 6
Melody -- 7.6
JC -- 9
John -- 9.4
Ali -- 19.8*

(*not a typo)

Next up -- Pocono (again!?).

CHICAGO RESULTS FOR REALS

OK, I cannot figure out how to edit my post below, so I'm just making a new one. I should have posted Chicago results earlier! I won -- picking the 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 drivers! John appeared to have awesome picks, until Kyle Busch bit him in the ass. I mean really, what is UP with Kyle Busch?! Karma?! I love it!

I have nothing to say about the race, it was as boring as predicted. Results:

JC -- 5
Chip -- 7.6
Melody -- 10.4
Erik -- 12.2
John -- 12.4
Ali -- 19.8

Melody - we want to see wedding pics! Do you have a link you can post?

CHICAGO - Windy City Snooze Fest

Picking window is open!

DAYTONA RESULTS

What an awesome ending!!! It's such a shame when a "racing incident" takes out a Busch brother. Especially when that brother is Kyle and his car gets smashed on the front, drilled in the back, and then pounded on the side. Oh well. :)

My personal policy of never picking Mark Martin or Dale Jr. pays off again this week, aided by my picks of the 1, 2, and 3 driver:

JC -- 8.4
John -- 8.6
Ali -- 10
Erik -- 14.8
Melody -- 17.4
Chip -- 21.6

Chip, ever since you started offing celebrities, you have had some BAAAD Karma, man.

Next up....Chicago!
