Not quite as easy as 1-2-3


A fantasy NASCAR first? Brad drivers finish 1-2-3 and he does NOT win the team title at the AAA 400 in Dover. That honor goes to Matt's Smoke Bombs, who vaulted into the money lead with a 5-7-8-13-21 finish for a score of 54. Brad's point total (1-2-3-18-32 = 56) was killed by Scott Speed's 32nd-place finish. Brad does collect $7 thanks to Jimmie Johnson's race W.

A reminder that $20 goes to the owner with the Cup champion.

Up next: Price Chopper 400 at Kansas on Sunday, a $7/$14 event.

Money race -- Ind/Team/Bonus/Total (Net)
T1. Smoke Bombs -- $31/$98/$10/$139 (-$6)
T1. Paper Chasers -- $44/$85/$10/$139 (-$6)
3. Redneck Tribe -- $7/$112/$5/$124 (-$21)
4. Cheatin' Cheaters -- $42/$56/$15/$113 (-$32)
5. Shake & Bake -- $36/$35/$15/$86 (-$59)
6. Racin' Kahne -- $42/$28/$5/$75 (-$70)

Chase update (revised N.H. result)


Catching up real quickly on the last three races and the Chase bonuses:

1) Atlanta: Foges swept with Tony Stewart's first win and a team score of 61.
2) Richmond: Quang got the individual win with Denny Hamlin and Brad secured the team race with 58.
3) New Hampshire: Todd's cheating first-place driver, Clint Bowyer, got him $7 while I edged Joe, 68-69, for the team race ... Joe's fifth driver was Casey Mears (38th) not Reed Sorenson (27th), which added 11 points to the Paper Chasers' score.

And since owners get $5 for every driver that made the Chase, the bonuses went as follows:

Brad: $15 (Johnson, Burton, Kenseth)
Todd: $15 (Kurt Busch, Biffle, Bowyer)
Joe: $10 (Harvick, Kyle Busch)
Matt: $10 (Stewart, Edwards)
Quang: $5 (Hamlin)
Chad: $5 (Jeff Gordon)

Up next: AAA 400 at Dover on Sunday, a $7/$14 event.
