    NASCAR Weekly Picks Game - Talladega

    Pros: 22 points to play
    Non-Pros: 4 points minimum (see bottom of post for non-pro rules)

    2 points from each entry goes into the Season Long Pool.

    Winner takes the rest.

    Pick the winner of these 5 matchups;


    David Ragan v Juan Pablo Montoya
    Greg Biffle v Kyle Busch
    Paul Menard v Jeff Burton
    Martin Truex Jr. v AJ Allmendinger
    Kurt Busch v Jeff Gordon


    And predict the race winner, to break any ties.

    Tiebreaker 1: Highest finish by race winner pick.
    Tiebreaker 2: First person to have posted their picks.

    Please post your points when you pick by clicking the gold coin icon bottom left of this post.

    Make or Change your picks anytime up until actual race start time. Scheduled for 1:15pm Eastern on Sunday.



    Non-Pro Rules

    4 points entitles you to claim 20% of the weekly prize pool. For every extra 2 points you post you can claim an additional 10% of the prize pool.

    You are eligible for 100% of the Season Long pool.

    If a Non-Pro wins, the un-claimed portion of the prize jackpots to the following race.

    I like the ones where I throw an underdog or two in better as well ATP. But am off overnight for my sisters birthday and leaving just as practice starts, and back after quali finsihes this week, so had to post them early and not really sure who the promising underdogs will be.

    Are you trying to transfer more than 2 points to me Fults?

    Unless you are a pro member you are limited to 2 points per day.

    It's fine to send 2 today and 2 tomorrow if you want to play this week btw.

    Talladega Results

    I didn't get my picks in, so prize pool reduces to 238 points.

    ATP called it right that it was going to be a tough week. No one picked Biffle, and 2 of our stud players from last year pull out the first duck eggs in the comps history. (that I can recall)

    Not that that bothered our current stud Leadfootfred, who along with YPA picked the other 4 matchups correctly, and takes the prize for the second time in 4 races with Edwards finishing ahead of Menard.


    David Ragan 39th v Juan Pablo Montoya 30th
    Greg Biffle 7th v Kyle Busch 35th
    Paul Menard 12th v Jeff Burton 16th
    Martin Truex Jr. 13th v AJ Allmendinger 11th
    Kurt Busch 18th v Jeff Gordon 3rd

    Winner: Jimmie Johnson


    leadfootfred 4 + Edwards 6th
    your pixel army 4 + Menard 12th
    luvtogamble 3 + winner
    StanleySharp 3
    rickie65 3
    BeaverPatrol 3
    yisman 2
    soxwin1917 2
    BET THE HOOK 2
    CarolinaDaze 2
    ATP123 1
    guee 1
    dew22 1

    Congrats Leadfoot! I'll transfer your 238 points as soon as everyone gets a chance to check I haven't made any mistakes.

    Updated Season Long Pool Standings


    Thanks for playing and I hope to see you all again next week for Richmond on Saturday Night.

    With five of seven weeks of going under 50%, I needed a decent one.

    Congrats LeadFoot on the win. I should probably stop trying to be so bold on picking race winners.

    Picking winners at the rate of 1 race in 7, you only need to beating +600 on average to come out ahead.

    *Edit: Don't worry, just realized what you meant.
