Race Preview: Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500

Ok Jr nation time to move on from the heartbreak at dega and start looking forward to the Paperclip, where dale looks to move closer to top 5 in the chase standings.

This Week in Earnhardt History: 1994 AC Delco 500 (Sr's 7th Title)

Hard to believe its been almost 20 years since SR hoisted the Winston Cup. He clinched his 7th and final title  at the Rock (RIP) in 1994 with 2 races still to go. Of course he did it with a win. All he did was win win win, no matter what. Check out the video below.

1-Bar of the Week: Camping World RV Sales 500

Well, looks like we have ourselves a  first two time winner of the 1-bar of the week, and damn she deserves this one. With 28 to go, DP was looking for her best career finish. Then, suddenly, she remembered she was a woman driver...

Fantasy Recap: Camping World RV Sales 500

As a reminder, here were our picks this week (in the order that they were picked):
E: Jimmie Johnson
D: Jeff Gordon
A: Dale Jr.
!: Clint Bowyer
L: Kasey Kahne

This week's big winner was the 'A' and his loyal Dale Jr. pick. Couldn't quite move for the win, but, like Dale, the 'A' will have to settle for a healthy portion of points instead. Not much fantasy action beyond that, though. Most of the picks were threatening for strong finishes, but couldn't hold their spots at the end. The only other pick to score this week was the '!'s pick of Clint Bowyer, managing a tenth place. The 'L' remains the leader, but the 'A' tightens the race at the top of the scoring tower.

- The 'D'

DALE! Guys Fantasy Picks: Camping World RV Sales 500

Order of Picks: E, D, A, !,  L

D: October is the season of pumpkins...pumpkins shine as jack o'lanterns this time of year...pumpkins are gourds...And so my pick picked itself this week. JEFF GOURD-ON. Gordbug has been running well over the past few weeks and, if he can avoid being carved out of the field in the Talladega roulette, I see him taking a win before the clock strikes 12 on this season and the number 24 stage coach turns back into a pumpkin.

A: Well, as I described in the preview, picking a favorite at DEGA is nealy impossible. David Ragan Smith or whatever his name is won here last, and other pit it and quit it regulars will have hopes of repeating his feat. Since my 23 years of NASCAR watching experience can't help me with my choice for Sunday, I'll just follow the Dale guys motto. When in doubt, JUNEBUG!! 

L: I'll make it a clean sweep for Hendrick this week with the Dale Guys and pick Kasey Kahne. My gut told me Kasey but then I checked the numbers. Outside of Pocono 2 the super speedways have made Kasey their bitch this year. However, that win coupled with his recent performance and speedy second practice are enough for me to stick with my gut and my boy Kasey. And plus, who wouldn't want to see those baby blues grace victory lane one more time. 

E: Who the hell knows who's gonna win tomorrow. Alls I know is the only person I've ever seen run away from pack racing was JJ the last time we went restrictor plating in July. Even though he may not be able to do that at dega Jimmie seems like as good a pick as anyone especially while he's in a heated chase battle

!: The pick for this week is a total crap shoot cause it's f'ing DEGA. Basically, I'm choosing Clint Bowyer this week soley on the fact that I have a sweet koozie and that he just absolutely loves The Dale Guys. Also, he has no reason to spin out purposely (unless Kyle Busch is winning) and can ride it around for the win. Look for that sweet 5 Hour-Energy Totota to find the stripe first and Win at DEGA

Week 6 of the chase brings us to everyone's favorite question mark. I could go on and tell you who the favorites are for this weekend. Or, I could just say that David Ragan won here back in the spring. Yeah, that David Ragan. Perennial 1-bar of the week contender David Ragan.
