2008 THUD Season in Review

2008 was another great year in Nascar's Premier Fantasy Racing League: the THUD League. The clear highlight of 2008 was the 1st THUD League championship for Team Hansen. It took 8 years, but victory never tasted sweeter for Hansen and his team!

Let's look at the questions that were posed at the start of the season and see how they were answered by the time the season ended.

The first 26 races of last year can be summed up in 5 words: Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards. There was nothing else to discuss during those races as the two of them battled it out for the victory in nearly every single race. When it came to the Chase, though, Mr. Consistency stepped it up for the 3rd straight year as Jimmie dominated in winning his 3rd Cup Title. Considering that Team Hansen had both Johnson and Edwards last year, that pretty much summed up our THUD League battle. Stillwell hung around for awhile, and even held the overall lead heading into the Chase, but Jimme and Carl were just too strong during the final ten races.

As to whether or not Hansen watched a lap last year or sleeps in the nude, we'll have to ask him on that one.

Let's see what 2009 has in store for us!
