2017 Fantasy Recap -  I had high hopes for Kyle Busch in 2017, I was so high on him that i picked him to win the championship before the season started. It took until Pocono, for Kyle to win. But he really started to roll after that. For the first time in his career, he won multiple races after the month of August. It was truly impressive what he did during the 2nd half of the year. The 18 team was close as you could get in 2017 to the 78 team. As the season winded down, it was clear that Kyle Busch would be the biggest threat to Martin Truex Jr's chances to win it all at Miami. To nobody's suprise, him and Truex Jr battled it at end of the Miami race. I think the difference in that race could had been Busch's inability to get around Joey Logano. Did it actually decide the championship? We will never know. Regardless, it was an awesome season by Kyle Busch!

Strong Tracks -  Martinsville, Texas, Darlington, Phoenix, Kentucky, Watkins Glen and Richmond

Weak Tracks - Michigan  

2018 Fantasy Outlook - Kyle Busch is in the prime of his career with an organization who is seem to be going in a younger direction. That means almost nothing for Kyle Busch as he is obviously the top driver at Gibbs. But he is a leader from these younger guys who are still getting their feet wet at the cup level. Personally, I think Busch will be able to repeat his recent success. In the last three seasons, he has at least 4 wins every year. While posting at least 12 top 5 finishes and 16 top 10 finishes as well. History is one his side to score at least three race wins, too. Other than 2012 and 2014, he has scored 3+ wins since joining Gibbs in 2008. Also, it doesn't hurt that Rowdy is racing for the top team in Nascar right now. Toyota obviously has had the advantage over the competition. Unless something change majorly in 2018 than you can expect Busch to contend for a lot of wins.

Even though at times, it did feel like Elliott has taken a step back in his second year at the cup level. I also felt like (throughout the year) that Elliott didn't truly take off until we got into the Nascar playoffs. The driver of the No.24 car was a force to be reckon with and a common name in drama down the stench. In those...

The Music < Tarp Family: Folk Fest 2014 Wrap Up

It's taken me a long time to write this post because mostly I couldn't think of how to fill out my top 5 for the Edmonton Folk Fest 2014 . This was not a stellar year on the hill for music for me. I've previously acknowledged that I've pigeon holed myself so much musically that I enjoy less and less these days. And this year, I'm a bit burnt out and didn't really want to deal with the early mornings and the lines. I was only going to go for one day to see Michael Franti, but ended up being talked into getting a weekend pass. And it was a good thing I went for the whole festival. View of the city is always stunning from the hill. Here's my Folk Fest 2014 top 5: 1. My Tarp Family - Even though the music was not awesome for me this year, my tarp family sure was. This is the second (or third, we can't remember) year I've hung out at the top of the hill with my (relatively new) usual music crew. And over the years I've really come to love spending tim...
