Results: Atlanta 2

"Smoke" Wins; Pole-Sitter Hamlin Goes Up In Smoke

 
If the goal was to pick the worst fantasy roster of the week, I think I win. When Reed Sorenson finishes in the top 15, you know it wasn't a normal race. A dismal 548 points later for me (and placing and 30th out of 32 teams in my league) and I am ready for Richmond! Both practices are before qualifying, just like Atlanta. Average speeds article will be up Friday afternoon.

Grumpy Motorsports had the best roster at Atlanta with Johnson, Newman, Stewart, Bowyer, Montoya, and Sorenson for 917 points. Congratulations to him.
