here is the money situation:

- skidmarks wins $1400 for first place

- high speed pursuit wins $600 for second place

- chonk motorsports wins $250 for worst place with no DQs

- there was a 3-way tie for the most unique finishes under 35:  doc beef, jakwagin, and fat penguin all take home $33.33

- chonk motorsports wins $50 for most 43rd place finishes (1, with tiebreaker)

- skidmarks wins $200 for last 10 race bonus 

send me your addresses/paypal accounts where i can send the dough and i'll talk to you all in late january.  happy thanksgiving, xmas, holiday, new year's, and all that crap.

skidmarks wins!

it's over, statistically.  skidmarks has won the 2011 nascar league, repeating his 2005 performance of domination.

he will take home $1400.

the 2nd place prize of $600 is still up for grabs.  unless high speed pursuit really shits the bed in the final race, it belongs to him.  but hey, engine failure, wreck, you never know...there are three teams within reach.

chonk has all but secured the $250 for last place, but statistically, shepard could still win it.

the $100 for the 35 action is quite interesting.  there are 3 teams tied.  it's anyone's to win in the final week.

chonk has secured the $50 for the most 43rd finishes (1), and has the 42nd place tiebreakers secure.

the $200 bonus is still very much in play, realistically, for three teams.  good luck to them in miami.

also, the conditional formatting in the spreadsheet got screwed up for a couple teams, so don't trust the yellow boxes for starting a team twice.  with only 1 week to go, i'll worry about it in february.

good luck too everyone in the final race!

update!!!

sorry about the late post...i had submitted on monday, but never hit post....idiot.

good luck!

still no power...

it's getting tight...

that's what he said...

well well well....we have some very interesting developments brewing with 4 weeks to go.  first and foremost, i'm petitioning the league to test skidmarks for illegal substances...7 top 10s in the last 8 weeks, and he is getting close to mathematically locking in the first place spot.

now, the fight for that 2nd place spot is getting interesting.  asleep at the wheel jumps 3 spots this week to pull within 4 points of the eat my dust, who has only had 1 top 10 in the last 7 weeks and is trying to limp home into that 2nd place spot.

doc beef and piston pumpin', who both apparently still think it's 2005 with their earnhardt picks, are slowly sliding, but definitely not out of it.

as for the bottom of the league, why chonk would choose casey mears over say kevin conway or jj yeley is beyond me.  but with yours truly and that shepard both picking nemecheck, shepard has actually made it interesting in the "go low" part of this league, pulling within 28...

as for the bonus money, it's VERY tight.  3 teams within 3 points at the top with 4 to go.

two more teams eliminated from the 35 action, while chonk still hold the lead in the 43 action.

good luck to all in the coming weeks...
