Almost hate to mention it as I have performed poorly in my picking, but the Pocono 500 goes off Sunday shortly after 1 PM or so on TNT.

Kasey Kahne is on the pole with Jimmy Johnson joining him on the front row.

Actually, does anyone have a good source for the actual race start time? TV coverage begins at 12:30 p.m., MRN coverage doesn't pickup until 1:15 p.m. (according to nascar.com)so I figure the race won't start any sooner than that.

The Yahoo Fantasy League allows changes up to 210PM. I believe I saw that it starts at 215PM.

No points from the qualifying times. Ugh!

Cheers,

i think i only started 1 driver in the B group last weekend - oops. it will be interesting to see if Kyle Busch can keep up his torrid pace. It seems like every week he complains his car is awful, something goes wrong early in the game, and then he wins at the end.

I just saw a crawl on ESPN. Seems as though Kyle will have to race in his backup car. And he'll have to start from the rear.

What a shame.:rolleyes:

Hmmm, to switch him out at the last second or not?

I'm not racing him tomorrow. I do think the three races in three states will take a toll on him. Plus, since he wrecked and is starting at the back of the pack coupled with the race being at Pocono I decided to drop him this week.

Good call, looks like he lost an engine...no audio on right now, but smoke from the back of the car.

Way off on what happened to KB, still don't really know.

Kasey Kahne wins it from the pole...

(Awesome week for me, my 4 drivers finished: 1,2,4,5 I was debating Hamlin but he cost me last week. Otherwise I would have had 1,2,3,4).

Not a bad showing for the second week. Up next: MICHIGAN!
Will JR or any of the Hendricks boys finally get a win?
Will it be a Busch blowout or bust up?
