2017 Fantasy Recap - It was a career year for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. He posted highs in wins, top 5 finishes, top 10 finishes, average finish, average start, top 20 finishes and laps led. And he had a really strong run in 2016 season, too. Obviously, his two wins in 2017 was what really set him apart from any other season he had though. Those two wins were on Daytona and Talladega, so some people will say it was just luck. But I don't believe that. Ricky is a talented wheelman with skills behind the wheel. Even at the plate tracks, it takes skill to work the draft and move through the field and then win. And not like Ricky wasn't good at other venues. He was very consistent all season long. He had a lot of good runs throughout season, he just didn't have many top 10 finishes to show. And that's okay. He's better than a lot of drivers out there!

Strong Tracks - Talladega, Bristol, Daytona, Texas and New Hampshire  

Weak Tracks - Sonoma, Watkins Glen and Indy  

Yahoo Grouping Tier Prediction: B-list Grouping

2018 Fantasy Outlook - I don't think Ricky Stenhouse Jr will back up his 2017 season. He had a career-year across the board. Not only in wins, but pretty much everywhere in terms of major stats. I just don't think he will win in 2017, but I also think his number of top 10 finishes and top 20 finishes will decrease from last season. This is not any direspect towards Ricky Stenhouse Jr and I really mean that. It is just logic that Ricky won't be able to produce the numbers he had from a year ago. He had 23 Top 15 finishes and 26 Top 20 finishes. See that consistency right there? About 3/4 of the season, he finished inside the top 15! And it doesn't help much that RFR is still a question mark overall. They have easily shown improvement from a couple years ago, but you get my point though. Stenhouse will no doubt have a really good season, but you can expect some decline in production.

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...
