This week's picks.

The roadrunner problem was weirder than I thought. Lightning traveled up the cable and blew the cable modem, the wireless router, and the 10/100 PCI card in my desktop. Fortunately it stopped there and the desktop still lives. Diagnosis was more difficult because I kept getting a wireless signal to my laptop which made me think I had fixed it when I was actually picking up my neighbor's wi-fi.

I can't blame roadrunner for the lightning . . .

So here are my picks:

Jimmie Johnson, #48 22.8
Tony Stewart, #20 21.9
Dale Earnhardt, Jr., #8 20.3
Jeff Gordon, #24 19.8
Sterling Marlin, #40 14.6

Total 99.4
