Well, another win Brad Keselowski, and another no pick for everyone here. But Talladega took its toll on Harvick and Gordon owners which were common in this race, so we will probably have some pretty low scores... oh well, lets see who was eliminated:
PODIUM
1.) Beardawg- 169 (80) (+1) (The newcomer makes a mark with 2 top 10 drivers, rare for Talladega...and a +8 on Bayne.)
2.) Sfrye- 159 (72) (+2) (I gave you Waltrip (+8 handicap) instead of Martin,please make sure Mark is racing next time.)
3.) Section- 138 (47) (-2)
NON-PODIUM 120 CLUB
4.) D2Moo- 134 (56) (+3)
5.) Roushfenwayguy- 125 (58) (+5)
ILL55INI- 125 (58) (+4)
7.) Fsu1dogs- 123 (41) (-1)
8.) Tenacfan- 122 (38) (-3)
110 CLUB
9.) Tigersman- 119 (30) (-6) (Hope the fall didn't hurt too much.)
10.) Berlyn- 116 (54) (+2) (Well, at least only one of your drivers is having bad luck now...)
11.) Bradman- 115 (58) (+2)
12.) Edwardsfan- 114 (51) (-1)
13.) River Rat- 113 (38) (-5)
14.) Floridawhite- 112 (61) (0) (A great pick in Kahne, not so much for Jeff.)
SPARED
15.) Fogducker- 98 (58) (+1) (Barelyn spared by Foreplus's bad week.)
ELIMINATED
16.) Foreplus- 96 (49) (-1) (Another bad race for Jeff Gordon is another bad week for Foreplus.)
The first discrepency I want to talk about is the 55 car. Although Mark Martin may have a certain handicap, anyone that rides in that car (Waltrip and Vickers) will have a +8 handicap. The handicap go by a driver's point standings, not a car owner's standing, and replacement will count as completely seperate drivers. That also leaves me to say that make sure your driver is racing, I spared Sfrye this time, but next time I may use whoever is in that car w/o a handicap, or even a random autopick.
And Talladega strikes again, with 3 30 scores, and plently of 40 scores to go around, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, and a few other drivers ruined a lot of people's lineups, switching the standings drastically. But the bottom two is what is the main focus, as Foreplus and Fogducker swapped positions by that much, showing how much picking that bold driver correctly is worse. And if you want to blame Jeff Gordon's bad luck on Berlyn, then you can say that Berlyn knocked out the last female in this game besides herself... which isn't very good news if people are hoping for Berlyn to keep the women's dreams alive the way her year is going. And congratulations to our newcomer, who was the only person to pick two drivers that finished in the top 10, and he was in the podium last week, leaving Beardawg the winner of this session and 3 bonus points for the next.
Handicaps are now revamped up to week 15, and yes Jeff Gordon is still in that handicap list. Will people start taking precaution to picking Jeff Gordon now? Or will we see much more Jeff Gordon picks.
