Small note: Mike Henry still sucks at this

[Josh O'Brien]

I'd like to thank Garnier Fructis for making this all possible.

[Deano]

Wow Phat, that's pretty damn impressive.



No doubt, you be the RuRa Stat Rat.

[Mike Henry Jr]

Nice work on all of this, like Deano said very impressive.

And thank you for the mention.

[Phathead]

Wow Phat, that's pretty damn impressive.



No doubt, you be the RuRa Stat Rat.

Meh, I like numbers what can I say.

I did your career stats which more or less confirms your downward decline over the last seven years lol

[champkarter1]

Quite a disappointing year for me, worst since I started playing PTRW I think

[Dbird85]

That's very cool, thanks for keeping up with everything Phat. I went back through and looked through all the previous years stuff and you do a great job of keeping track of it all. Also I feel very proud (and incredibly lucky!!) to pull off a top 10 finish in the standings.

A little story behind my pick to get in the chase... I almost forgot to make my pick for that race. I was listening to the prerace show on the radio when I remembered oh snap I need to make a pick. So I did it on the phone with no more than 5 to 10 minutes before the start of the race. I picked the 29 on a whim, and I got lucky.

[jjkusaf]

dang Phat....awesome work.

[ryan29]

Its cool to see how unimpressive my season was until the chase! I feel like Jimmie Johnson!

[ryan29]

I would also like my career stats done when ever possible. Thanks Phat!

[STEVE]

PTRW Champs now have text badges under their usernames.

Congrats, ryan29! And thanks for doing this, Phat. It's really fun and we all appreciate your hard work and dedication.

[Smokey420]

Awesome work Phat, and congrats to everybody who won a race this year lol.

[Eighty-One]

Sorry to bump. This is awesome. Hope I ca last a whole season this was awesome. I enjoyed the bit I did participate even leading the points for a little best fantasy sports game ever. Love the work you do phat
