YES! I'm a big fan of Nascar and watch or listen to nearly every race. The only sport that I love more is <a href="http://www.georgiadogs.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=8800&KEY=&SPID=3571&SPSID=40673">GEORGIA BULLDOG FOOTBALL</a>. Of course, I love my DAWGS but for 36 Sundays a year (Sometimes a Saturday instead) I can't wait for "Gentleman, Start your engines!". I got involved in this league in 2004 but didn't get to be a player. I had to wait until 2005 to enter my first team. That year wasn't so good for my team. It had a lot to do with the fact I spent the whole year in Baghdad with the <a href="http://www.stewart.army.mil/3DIDWeb/Homepage/3idhome.htm">3rd Infantry Division</a>. Last year I finished 6th in a league of 50 players. I had a late season surge to overcome a horrendous start. I was around 45th after Busch and Stewart wrecked each other in the final laps of the Daytona 500. This year has been a great year for me so far. I began the season with a strong finish in Daytona (2nd) and haven't dropped below 3rd for the season. This week I moved into 1st for the second time thanks to a great pick with Carl Edwards. I was the only player in the top ten to pick him as my "A" driver. Overall it was a good weekend for Saxon Racing. My son, Will, brother Mark, and nephew, Mason all moved up positions with strong finishes in Texas. In case you're wondering.
