Jeff Burton, RCR veteran, picked up his second win in a row. The 29 took the Busch victory at Atlanta; he also won the Atlanta Busch race last year. Burton ripped an appearant victory from Kyle Busch coming out of turn four at Las Vegas last week. Kyle had the strongest car today but ran out of time storming from the back up to 3rd!
What a showing by Richard Childress Racing. . . posting 1st, 2nd, and 6th place finishes.

Fantasy Season Off To Good Start
Thanks to the Daily Oklahoma's Sports Department, hundreds of us are enjoying their fantasy racing experience (for free!). I pick ten drivers for two different teams for each Cup race. At the California race, I averaged picking 7 top ten drivers. I used to spend several hours on a mathematical formula I devised (using speeds from practice sessions, qualifying position, and momentum).
However, I have come to the realization that the teams that SHOULD win, often have the misfortune of engine failure or being collected up in somebody else's mistake. SO, I just go with my best guesses and cringe when several of them post DNFs.
Over the last several seasons I have usually ranked in the upper 15% of over 30,000 nationwide. In the grand scheme of life, its really not a big deal but for us race fans it spells involvement.
Til Las Vegas, stay out of trouble...
