You got that post up real quick. No way you had a lady over watching the race and get the race results up that quickly. Either she was so hot and bothered by seeing Tony Stewart finish so well or she would like a clear, concise explanation of the finishing order.

Lol, you are correct sir. The little lady was not with me for this one. I had to work on custom figures tonight.

You are great at those. The Lewis Hamilton figurine you made me commands a special place on my bookshelf.

I am sad that the figurine you made for me does not command any space on your website. It was a very difficult project. You had to deal with human faces and accessories, to make it all happen.

It's on my official website. I need to update my sig to link to it.

EDIT: There, updated. Click the "Dusty's Custom Figures" link in my sig, go to Gallery, and look under Other Sports. He's there!

My absolute worst race ever! Kenseth, Gordon, Kahne, Dinger all caught in wrecks and Logano blows his engine early. My best finisher was Danica Patrick!

Syxx, I think you will need to go back and exclude me from the race, the rest of the championship or dock me points. I just realized that I made a mistake in making my picks last week. I was careless again and for some reason thought Newman was in group B. I only noticed until a few moments ago when you posted the revisions again in the upcoming race thread.

I really apologise to you and the competitors. I made an honest error and wasn't trying to gain an advantage. I realize that this is now the second time this has happened to me so I will not protest how you and the other players want to handle this.

Really sorry guys.

I do encourage everyone going and double checking their entries, looks like I was not the only one to make a mistake like this last week.

It is easy to do, but does not excuse me at all.

I appreciate your honesty, Nerd. You could have kept quite about my oversight but you are a good competitor for not doing so. I edited the results and the overall standings. Like I did last time, since you had three drivers from one group, I gave you zero points for your highest finishing driver out of the three.

Everybody needs to double check, especially since our favorite C group drivers are getting a promotion.

After looking over the results again for any more mistakes I may have made in scoring, I found another error. MyBloodRunnethOrange had three Group B drivers in his picks for Daytona, Martin Truex Jr., Kasey Kahne, and Michael Waltrip. I'm sure this was just an honest mistake on MBRO's part thinking that Waltrip was a Group C driver, but that was not the case, so unfortunately I have to make another change to the results. As I did Nerd-Vol, I had to give MBRO zero points for his highest finishing driver out of the three. This became his lowest score of 90 on the season, which is dropped in the overall standings.

I can't stress enough that everyone needs to double check their picks before entering every week. With the group reset taking place this weekend, it will be easy to make a mistake. I will try to be more observant of peoples picks from here on and try to bring any mistakes to light before the deadline to try to prevent this.

I did think Watrip was a C group driver. My bad. I'll pay closer attention in the future.

I can see why you would think that, but when a driver substitutes for Mark Martin, I just put their name next to the #55 and don't move them from group to group. I thought that would be best to keep from causing more confusion and mistakes.
