Also, set your excitement to 'gently caress yeah', our draft is set: Sunday, August 21st at 7pm EST.

If you can't make it, set autodraft, set your preferences, and pray that you get something good.

Psh. It's obvious that CDT is God's chosen time zone. Sports start late enough that you're awake for them and end right when you're ready to drunkenly pass out. I don't know how other time zones do it.

I sincerely don't get why Fantrax doesn't make that a priority when scheduling.

oh wait i found it gently caress you fantrax

quote:

More divisional play: This feature is not yet available.

When it becomes available, it will have the system generate a pro-league-like schedule where your team plays a configurable number of games against division rivals. Currently you must manually edit the matchups for each Scoring Period to create this kind of schedule.

bad wreck pulls out the red. Knocked out Stenhouse and Jimmie Johnson. Sorry HOTLANTA MAN and Quandary. Had some knocking of wheels for some other contenders who had recently pitted, but those seem to be the only two with race-ending damage.

Austin Dillon's #3 car was also involved, I don't know if will be knocked out completely. They're working on the car to try to get it back in. Spintzel, that'd be you.

Greg Biffle was the 4th car involved, he looks to be knocked out as well but he's not assigned to anyone.

And just as soon as we restart, a bunch of nobodies in the back spin out and put us back under caution.

Harvick pits early. Not sure the strategy there. Last year he came in 3rd because he ran out of gas at the last turn and putted in to the finish. Hope that's not this year.

Buncha fuckin no name scrubs keep slowing this race down, brought out a caution again with some dude named Landon Cassill.

Another fuckin scrub takes a spin.

Dillon is back on the course, but a large number of laps behind.

12 to go and it's seeming like most of the field is going to try to go the distance without a final pit (past ~49-52).

Will Styles's guy, Ryan Newman, just spun in the restart.

gently caress. There goes Harvick. Someone ran off the track, caused a dirt screen, Harvick spun and was hit.

Welp. This race really has been a poo poo show.

Dropped back to 27th when that happened with 9 laps left. Finished 15th, not a bad recovery.

Yep. Divisions will change, but schedules will change once I have a chance to sit down and do the schedules + draft order on fantrax (tonight, probably).

Yeah it doesn't look like I play anyone week one?

Also I'm just going to reiterate how goddamn horseshit it is that we keep drafting based off NASCAR. I get stuck with either a jobber or someone who wrecks every loving goddamn year.

It's basically random. You get a random driver and then the race is random. What are you proposing instead? Just random? Or you just to be allowed to pick your draft spot?
