Ultimate Race Day

By Stephanie Agresta

I never thought I would be in a fantasy sports league.  Football and baseball leagues always seemed so hard – participating in a draft, building your own team, etc. I’m sure some people find that the best part — personalizing your own NFL or MLB organization.  For the NASCAR league I’m in (my first ever, as I’m a NASCAR newbie), it’s a little more straightforward: Just pick the winners! My competitive nature likes this a lot. Of course, there is some strategy to it – you can only use each driver a certain number of times, and all drivers are put into 3 categories (A, B or C). I am learning.  So here’s the most exciting part – last week I moved into first place. I’m not bragging b/c you can drop and rise quickly – depending on how your drivers do each week. I’m just really proud of myself. GEEK GIRL RACING FTW!

Thanks to @awesomewreckage for inviting us into his world! I find it so much more enjoying watching the race when I’ve got skin in the game.

@chrismccaffrey and I (and our family members that joined as well) even made a side bet and the winner will be getting a trophy and the cash purse at our Thanksgiving celebration.

Things in this league are heating up. As we inch into the Chase, the competition is getting tighter. Stay tuned b/c Geek Girl racing is planning on winning.
