Fantasy Follow-Up: Las Vegas

Well, my picks last week were looking pretty solid with five of my six drivers all having very solid runs … right up until lap 109 when Stewart smacked the wall. As the race boiled down, I still felt comfortable with four of them still having legitimate shots at top-ten’s … and then two of them wrecked with five laps left in the race to give me by far my worst fantasy preview week ever. Oh well, ‘tis the nature of the beast that we’ve all come to know as NASCAR!
