Scary underdog

What a turn around for RYR28DAVEYSLEGACY. He started out the season basically as a door mat for the rest of the fantasy league teams. However, he has traded some drivers and some of his drivers have really started to pour things on. As you can see below, his drivers have a better starting average than mine.


The problem for him is that they don't always finish that high. Elliot Sadler has really run well of late, but has had trouble closing the deal. Vickers is always somewhat of a question mark. He probably has the ability to win any race he comes into and sometimes looks like he will, but then drops off.

I'm hoping that it will be the same way today. However, if those drivers pull it together, I could be handed a loss by the last ranked team in the league. The funny thing is that it really wouldn't be that much of a surprise.

Busch or Martin. That was the question. Martin starts off 19th and Busch starts off 13th. Martin is sixth in points and Busch is tenth. I go back and forth. Even though I have Martin benched in the above lineup, I may put him back in and bench Busch before the race starts. That is how up in the air it is.

On the championship front... I was a little disappointed that Gordon didn't qualify closer to the front. However, Kansas is a lot like Chicago and he was tearing it up there. Matt Kenseth and Jeff Burton start ahead of him - though only by a couple of spots. If he can finish ahead of them, he should be able to at least maintain his spot towards the top of the standings. The is still a ways to go - today will not the champion make.
