New season

So a new season is upon us. I'm not sure what the status of the pool is as I haven't been contacted by Daryl. I believe that he's someplace warm and less mucky, which is good for him but I'm damn jealous!

It's a lot of work to set up the standings sheet for the year, so if there's no one to organize the pool then I'm not going to invest the time to get everything set up.

I guess last year Daryl's brother Mike helped to organize the pool but, again, haven't heard anything from him either.

If one of those two guys want to contact me and let me know if the pool is a go, then I can get started and get some driver groupings set up. They have my cell number so they can call or text. My e-mail address is j.k.houston at hotmail.com if they want to send me an e-mail.

If that doesn't happen, I don't think that I'll do the pool by myself. It's been fun but I'm more a fan of IndyCar than Nascar. This was just something I did to help a friend.  :)

Final standings

Well, another season has come and gone. Congratulations to our winner, MexyCan and the 5 other players that will receive a prize. Thanks to Daryl for putting this together every year and thanks once again to all the people who take part in the Nascar Pool.

We hope that you've had fun keeping track of your favourite drivers throughout the season and hope that you'll be back for more next year.

I should have the drivers picks available just after New Years, once the drivers seats are somewhat settled and we know who will be racing.

Our final standings are:
1) MexyCan 2347
2) Bucked Up 2400
3) Mr. Rogers 2429
4) No-Howe 2468
5) Any-Howe 2482

6) Eat My Dust 2550

Please contact Daryl to claim your prize at 705-323-9732

'til next year!

Texas results

Hey lookie there, JJ wins again.  : \

That's getting almost as boring as F1 races...

Anyway, I've got the standings updated. I'm going to be away this coming up weekend so there won't be any updates but I'll be sure to get the standings updated for the last race of the season. It looks to me like the same Top 5 are going to finish in the Top 5. Not too sure about the order but there isn't anyone that can catch them, at this point.

There's certainly a race for the 6th position which pays out a free pass for next years pool and that's a bit of a tight race right now. Eat My Dust and Sassy Sammy 2 are within 5 points of each other so that can definitely go either way. The next player is more than 50 points back so that's the end of that.

I hope everyone had fun following their favourite driver this year and I hope that everyone returns for next years pool. I'll get the driver picks up probably around the start of the new year so people can start figuring out who to pick.  :)

Talladega results

So a bit of a change in the standings, still the same 5 people but Buckled Up has moved into second place. Things are starting to get interesting. There's really only 55 points between 1st and 3rd. Still anyone's guess as to who's going to win this thing. Good to see it coming down to the wire. That always makes it more interesting!

Weekend update

Got a couple of races to catch up on. Down to the last 5 races of the year. Not much has changed in the standings but it's never over 'til it's over.

*edit: stupid webpage isn't working right. Won't let me update the standings. These are the current standings:

Oct 12, 13
1) MexyCan 2037
2) Mr. Rogers 2101
3) Buckled Up 2102
4) Any-Howe 2166

5) No-Howe 2185

The link to the spreadsheet should still work.
