The Nextel Cup Fall Challenge has started at Fantasy Sports. Point totals are reset to zero, and new teams are picked. As it turns out, the $10 million funny money salary cap was not sufficient to reconstitute my team from the Spring Challenge. So I pieced together a new crew, and after race one, I rank 1174th out of 8707 teams. Not a terrible first race. But, to indulge in some richly deserved whining, I’ll point out I’d have been a lot better if Ryan Newman had shown some patience, and not wrecked Tony Stewart on lap 100 of 300. Newman was a lap down, and Tony was leading at the time. I trust that mentioning that Tony is on my team is redundant at this point. And, I’d always thought more of Newman than that. However, 4 laps later, Newman got taken out by the hapless Michael Waltrip. I wish no one ill, but this latter incident brought a smile to my old face. Prompt justice is nice sometimes.
