    Must be a tough set of picks. 3 entries and only Dale Jr left as a consensus pick already.

    Just received a PM from a player that thought I didn't want him to play as he hadn't received the usual PM reminders.

    Just in case anyone else is wondering, SBR limited PMs to max 5 recipients and it became a bit if a hassle.

    What a weird race. I'm fading down the stretch and would not have won the full season competition I think even had I played the whole time.

    Phoenix Results

    Wow. Talk about being smashed. Our lowest average result of the year (1.9) and how could nobody pick the winner??

    One player wasn't phased though. Vegas39 casually throws out his 2nd consecutive 5 to take his second win of the year.

    Dew, Onlooker and Luvtogamble all managed a 3 to tie for second place. Smoke takes the money for Luvtogamble.

    Jeff Burton 4th
    v Brad Keselowski 18th
    AJ Allmendinger 6th v Kurt Busch 22nd
    Ryan Newman 5th v Jeff Gordon 32nd
    Matt Kenseth 34th v Denny Hamlin 12th
    David Ragan 33rd v Dale Earnhardt Jr 24th

    Winner: Kasey Kahne


    Vegas39 5 81 points (30% x267)
    luvtogamble 3 + Smoke 3rd 90 points
    onlooker 3 + Jimmie 14th
    dew22 3 + Kenseth 34t

    Congrats to the winners. I'll transfer your prizes as soon as everyone gets a chance to check results.

    I will update the Season Long and Chase Pool standings later tonight.


    Thanks for playing everyone. Hope to see you all against next Sunday for the last race of the season at Homestead.

    Looks like I am gonna be 3 behind Rickie65 going into the final race and only 1 ahead of CarolinaDaze and StanleySharp. It looks like a battle for 2nd unless Rickie just implodes.
