RPG Dega ~ Julia

1.  Jamie McMurray will get his first win of the year (okay, that was a
tough one, even for me)

2.  Dodges will have the fewest number of cars in the top ten (opposite
of what I would like to see though)

3.  There will be 5 or fewer championship chasers in the top ten.

4.  The big one (10+ cars) will take out 2 champions chasers but won’t
be caused by one.

5.  In at least 3 cases non chase teammates will finish as well or
better than their chaser countersparts (ie.  MW/DEJr, BL/TS, RW/RN, etc…)

    I was gonna pick Jamie Mac as the highest finishing non-Chaser,
    but DJ’s average finish at Dega was too compelling.
    Of course there is something to be said for a Hot Driver, eh?

    As in–Shirley u jest?
    Those Chasers got it done in the previous 26 races & will ‘continue’
    to get er done in the last 10 races.

    U forgot to prognosticate a Bonus Prediction.
    For a +5, who is gonna be the precipitator of the Big One?

    Dear Cru-zer,

    She’s betting that at least three non-chasers will finish ahead of
    their own teammates who did make the chase.

    She’s given three pairs as an example, not as a specific
    prediction.  

    Let’s see, the teams in the Chase are:

    Hendricks (& Gordon)
    Roush
    Yates
    DEI
    Evernham
    Penske
    Gibbs

    (I’m counting JJ as a Hendricks car for Julia’s bet.)

    the "as well" part confoozes me!  Predicting a tie, IMO, would elevate this to a
    Bonus pick.

    well, I kinda just put it there outta being on his bandwagon and all…
    realistically, I don’t have my hopes as high as they have been other weeks.

    If "hot" = on a tear, then yeah that gives me a little more hope….
    If "hot" = "hawt, then I dunno ~ his looks haven’t gotten him into
    victory lane yet but it may help as far as strengthening his fanbase ~ I
    plead the 5th… ;)

    LOL…. I just figured this would be the one race where the cream may
    not necessarily rise to the top… anything can happen when the
    difference between 1st and 25th can be a blink of an eye and I’m not
    sure it how much the chase is gonna play into finding drafting partners
    to help keep them in the top few cars.

    okay…. lemmme see… I think I’ll go with Jeff Green.

    LOL… I dunno… the way NASCAR has been playing with the rules it may
    not be that far off…. but I could always use the "as well" part if a
    non chase teammate finishes a spot behind his chase teammate but earns
    more points because of laps lead bonuses…. well, I would at least try
    sneaking that by… ;)

    You’ve got a tricky one with, say Hendrick… Front Roe Joe finishing in
    front of JJ but behind JG, point or no? If he finishes in front of both of
    them, point for sure.  Well, at least one of 3 contributions you need to
    make your point.  :-)

    DJ finishing in front of  ES, clearly a yes.  That’s what you’re talking
    about right?

    Good thinking on the potential for the cream to go to the bottom at Dega!

    I’d give her the point.  I think for all practical purposes, JJ is
    driving a "Hendricks" car, even though it is technically the
    only car in the Jeff Gordon stable.

    >DJ finishing in front of  ES, clearly a yes.  That’s what you’re talking

    Yes, that’s the basic idea of her bet.

    Are you trying to include Nemechek as a Hendrick car?  I don’t think
    that’s reasonable, all they do is lease motors from Hendrick.  I
    wouldn’t consider Joe as Johnson’s or Gordon’s teammate.

    If you’re just trying to score between Johnson & Gordon, I would
    say that’s a zero..comparing two chase drivers.  Only comparisons
    between Johnson & Labonte/Vickers or between Gordon & Labonte/
    Vickers seem meaningful to me.

    There’s a few others that are a tad shakey in terms of "teammate"s:

    K Wallace – Earnhardt teammate or not?  Nominally he’s in Waltrip’s
    car, but Mikey didn’t have a #00 ready, so he’s in a DEI #1.  I say
    he’s an Earnhardt teammate.

    Gaughn – Newman teammate or not?  Penske is part owner of the #77,
    I say he’s a Newman teammate.

    Rudd – Kenseth/Busch teammate or not?  As far as I know, the Woods’
    collaboration with Rousch is now over – their engines come from
    Yates (like all the Ford teams) and they’re building their own cars.
    I say not a teammate to Kenseth/Busch.

    H Sadler – E Sadler teammate or not?  Hermie leased a car & engine
    from Yates, but it’s still his team.  I say they’re just brothers,
    not teammates.

    Craven – Stewart teammate or not?  Even tho this is a one-off deal,
    as far as I know it’s Gibbs all the way, so I say he’s a teammate
    to Stewart.

    My bad, I was thinking of Brian Vickers the 25 car, not sure why I said
    Joe — did he used to drive that car maybe?

    I agree, he’s a DEI team car today.

    Don’t know on that one.

    yep, I see the confusion here.  I would consider any non chase teammate
    finishing above a chase teammate counting towards the point even if
    there is another chase teammate that finished ahead of both of them….
    so, using your example, if Vickers finished above Johnson but behind
    Gordon it would count as a match.  In order to kinda balance that out, I
    wont count any driver more than once (ie.  I wouldn’t count Vickers and
    T. Labonte both finishing above Johnson as two matches, nor will I count
      Vickers finishing ahead of both Johnson and Gordon as two matches)….
    okay, that sounds kinda confusing even to me… hey Marty ~ if you are
    around this morning, could you clarify my thoughts for me???… ;)

    > John

    yeah, I can see how this can be shaky ground too… I will list what I
    consider to be teammates for the record… if there are any big
    objections I will remove them from the list:

    Hendrick = #5, #24, #25, #48
    DEI = #1, #8, #15
    JGR = #18, #20
    Evernham = #9, #19
    Penske = #2, #12, #77
    Yates = #38, #88
    Roush = #6, #16, #17, #97, #99

    I think that accounts for all of the teams with cars in the Chase… I’m
    sure someone will correct me if I am wrong… ;)

    I’d count both your above examples.  Each event, Vickers finishing above JJ and
    TLab finishing above JJ would be independent of each other and, IMO, count as 2
    towards your 3.  Same with BV finishing above JJ and JG, I’d say that’s 2.

    If BV and TLab both finish above JJ and JG … you’re golden!  (and there’s a
    meeting Monday AM at HMS!)

    Nope.  The race is over.  I’ll bet you get the point no matter how
    you slice it.  7 Chasers not in the Top 10 gives you very fine
    odds of getting "pure" teammate combos.  :o)

    I think it was a very great bet.  Nice work coming up with the
    idea!

    No problem Julia, we all have that happen sometimes.When we get down to only
    1 or 2 scores missing it’s nice to just finish it off so I will sometimes
    score them myself.
