2007 Nextel Cup Fantasy Championship *Open For Entries!*

[chemhead1]

1.13.2007 (22:30 PST) LOS ANGELES, California - As AM2 Motorsport's 3-car assault on Daytona is ready to take on the qualifying Duels on Thursday, back at the shop, the car builders are hard at work keeping pace with some of the other teams already showing their Car of Tomorrow chassis.

"When I saw All-American Racer's spy photos of their current-style Lacetti, it looked like any other new model launch for this season," said owner Victor Aquino. "But for them to come with a CoT version while barely revealing their current car, well, we had to step things up."

Feeling some heat from the AAR Chevy Lacettis, AM2 quickly got to work towards fabricating a CoT version of their Holden Commodore VZ.

The team has therefore had to release Scott Riggs and take on the lesser driver of Reed Sorenson.

The team awaits comments from the officials to explain why they changed things after teams were submitted.

SRD still has the best looking cars on the grid

The TTNCFCC (Ten-Tenths Nextel Cup Fantasy Championship Council ) beleives Riggs never was in the $400,000 bracket, it isn't in any of the councils sheets, the original thread was only edited by me to change a spelling mistake, then by Knowlesy as I'd forgot to put Dale Jarrett in the lineup, I don't beleive Riggs' value ever got changed. Turns out Sorenson worked out better for you anyway, as Riggs had troubles + a point penalty

[Boxy]

Penalties and non-starters have worried B.O.R.I.N.G.

Goodbye to Brian Vickers and Scott Riggs.
Hello to David Gilliland and Clint Bowyer.

That is all folks....

AM2 Motorsport Press Release
February 25, 2007
LOS ANGELES, California - After a dissapointing first 2 races of the season, including a finish outside the top 20 at AM2's home race in Southern California, AM2 Motorsports has officially made the decision that Robby Gordon will no longer race with Victor Aquino and AM2 Motorsports.

"While it was a rough start for Robby last year, he looked like he really stepped it up," says Aquino. "But this year, it seems like he just can't exactly get 100% with the team. It's safe to say that both I and Robby expected different things from each other, neither of which coming to fruition. So we both agree that we are probably better off going our separate ways."

Meanwhile, AM2 has, incredibly quickly, picked up hotshot rookie David Ragan to replace Robby Gordon in the #23 Sammy/Atomiswave Holden Commodore effective as of the upcoming race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2 weeks.

Seeing that they now have quite a surplus of money, AM2 also has decided to take a fourth driver in the form of Joe Nemechek, who will pilot the #36 "Motorsport" Holden Commodore. (Livery here: http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...30#post1851730)

With the removal of Robby Gordon and the addition of David Ragan and Joe Nemecheck, AM2 Motorsports' salary cap is as follows:

#41 (#42)   Juan Pablo MONTOYA         $250,000
#76 (#20)   Tony STEWART               $900,000
#23 (# 6)   David RAGAN                $250,000
#36 (#13)   Joe NEMECHEK               $300,000 


Grand Total: $1,700,000 (+/-$0 over/under budget)

Note: AM2 Motorsports realizes that this decision will not affect AM2's team championship points from Fontana (including Robby Gordon's points) and they understand 100% that David Ragan and Joe Nemechek's points will not count for AM2 until Las Vegas in 2 weeks.

So if the TTNCFCC (Ten-Tenths Nextel Cup Fantasy Championship Council) can recognize AM2's change as soon as possible/convienient, that would be great!

[Hazza]

If thats the case, scrap Marcos.

I beleive Kenny is attempting all races, so he's ok, it's just he hasn't made many (but he made into Vegas!), When I made the list, I beleived all drivers would be attempting all races, next yr I'll allow part time drivers, just tried to make it easier to manage for the first year.

Other than that your team is good to go Hazza, just in time for Vegas

[Hazza]

Cool.

CHANGES AHEAD FOR CROOKS MOTORSPORT

Due to poor performances in the championship this year, I'm announcing that Scott Riggs and Reed Sorenson will not be driving for Crooks Motorsport any longer. Both have been involved in many a wreck and Riggs has dropped out of the top 35 in points.

Riggs and Sorenson will be replaced with Clint Bowyer and David Stremme, who's performances haven't been unnoticed by the team boss.

Unfortunately this uses up both of our allowed driver changes so early in the season, hopefully these drivers will continue as well as they are now..(but chances are they will flop and Riggs and Sorenson will start to shine )

Team Iron Horse Swing Their Mighty Axe

Team Iron Horse have had a good, solid start to the year, currently residing on the fifth rung of the ladder. However, this is not considered good enough by management, so out came the Axe.
Gone are Kurt Busch (management enjoyed chasing him around with a big sharp axe ), Reed Sorenson, and Tony Raines. In come The Most Hated Man in the South, Jeff Gordon; everyone's favourite Columbian, Juan-Pablo Montoya; and because we had some cap room left, J.J. Yeley. David Stremme will be staying on with the team after performing admirably this year.

Cheers StuiE, It would've upset a lot of guys back at the garage if we had to let Kenny go!

I know its already 4 ronds down, ibut i thought i'd enter just for kicks

Liverys to come!

[StuiE]

Just to clarify, 'two driver changes', means you can have 'two single driver changes'. IE: you can swap one driver before, say the Darlington race, then another before the Talladega race. OR you could swap two drivers at once, IE dropping two of you drivers and picking two new ones, but this would be both of you driver changes used.

I have acknowledged this rule is a little more restrictive than I first thought it would be, so I will be changing it for next year, but will be keeping it as is for this year for benefit of everyone that has made changes so far etc.


also if anyone was wondering, Stealthy Motorsport was enterd for this round in time, as he had PM'ed me a few days ago


cheers

Team Iron Horse Forced To Swing Their Mighty Axe With One Hand

Looks like I'll be hanging on to Sorenson, and Yeley will have to stay with JGR.

[chemhead1]

Okay, quick question StuiE. My driver change of getting rid of one driver for two (Robby Gordon out, Nemechek and Ragan in), would this count as a single driver change?

[STEALTHY]

Going by the rulings for the V8 series, i'd say yes.

As your really only using the driver change when you 'drop' a driver.
Assuming you mean you only had 3, and now have 4 after dropping one.
