2017 Fantasy Recap - In 2017, Paul Menard had better numbers than I actually thought he did. Folks and his numbers were pretty average. Driving for RCR and he posted 19.6 average finish with just 3 Top 10 finishes. I think what stands out the most is he only had 3 DNFs, despite only posting 19.6 average finish on the year. That says a lot about how he performed throughout the season. So it is no surprise that he only had 10 Top 15 finishes (28%). Menard just wasn't very good with RCR in 2017, I think that some to do with the lack of speed, too. However, he was the worst driver in that stable though. Every time I looked up at the t.v, I would see the 27 car running in the 20s somewhere. I just wasn't impressed by Menard. In 2017 or in 2016 very much. I think him moving on to a new team was the best move for him and RCR!

Strong Tracks - Sonoma, Talladega and Las Vegas 

Weak Tracks - Texas and Richmond  

2018 Fantasy Outlook - In 2018, Paul Menard will join the No.21 team and the wood brothers. After Ryan Blaney moved over to Penske. I mean no disrespect to Paul, but the real reason he got this ride is because of his funding. There's no logic reason other than that! Again, I am not trying to take a stab at Paul, but I don't he is talented enough to go out and make the 21 team super competitive. Paul is just another driver out there, in my opinion. I think he will run a little better with the 21 car than with the 27 car, but that's not saying a whole lot though. If Paul can get back to a couple years ago, then he is a decent driver. But if he post numbers like the past two seasons, then I doubt it is even worth considering him in fantasy Nascar. Overall, I am not very high on him.

2018 Fantasy Nascar Profile: Chase Elliott

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...
