Bonfire! Life In A NASCAR Fantasy Racing League… Week 1

Welcome to BONFIRE! For the next 10 months or so you’ll get a taste (probably burnt) of life in a fantasy Nascar league. No, I’m not going to give you tips on who to have on your fantasy team. Nor, will I give you inside information on what is going on in some garage in North Carolina. I won’t even attempt to throw any Nascar statistics at you to give you that advantage on an upcoming race.

As a matter of fact, the information I give you is going to be pretty much useless for either being in a fantasy Nascar league or even running a league.

Stop! I know some of you are groaning and ready to quit reading because this weekly article isn’t going to help you.

No, don’t leave! I promise that you will get some entertainment out of this Nascar Soap Opera.

See I have your interest again don’t I? Yea, but not so fast!

This league doesn’t consist of stuff you see on soaps such as hospital settings, lawyers, rich folk, scantily clad women, organized crime, greed or commercials. Though some members of our league volunteer for a local emergency team (kinda hospital like), while others work in a factory, drive truck, go to school, or are retired-which all in turn could assimilate a blue collared soap.

For criminal activity, you won’t get to hear about much since the biggest crime committed was probably Jr. getting picked early in our recent fantasy draft. When it comes to scantily clad, all I have to tell you is we are all housed in Wisconsin and the temperature this weekend is projected to be about minus 1 degree Fahrenheit as the high. Need I say more?

When it comes to greed I guess we are like the soaps as each and every one of us wants to win and not do it once in a while, but every week. You don’t want to lose or be in last place in the standings or you’ll get the “wrath of Lon” (that’s me).

As far as commercials are concerned, don’t worry! I have a hard time spelling commercial let alone trying to contact some company to give us some advertisement money to be a sponsor.

Now I’m sure I lost you!

So what is this weekly article going to do for me you ask again? The only thing you’ll get is pure unadulterated entertainment (now those are some long words to spell)!

Actually what you’ll get out of reading this every week is just an opportunity to meet our fantasy Nascar league and its twenty members on a personal level without meeting them face-to-face (that’s probably a good thing).

Pretty much the same type of thing you get when you watch the “Days of our Lives”, with the exception of all the pretty faces.

Though I’m hoping that “Days” will commensurate BONFIRE in personnel in the future.

Until next week, keep the fire burning!
