    NASCAR Weekly Picks Game - Las Vegas

    * Making a small change this week. By popular request, 1st tiebreaker will be winner pick, second tiebreaker will be runner up pick, third tiebreaker will be number of cars to finish on the lead lap. Sorry for creating any confusion with changes each week this year. But this will be the last change for the year.


    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: 75%
    Second: 25%

    I'm going with old team/new team rivalries, plus the 2011 tied champ points fight, this week.

    Pick the winner of these 5 matchups;


    MATCHUPS WILL GO UP AFTER FRIDAY NIGHT QUALIFYING


    Also predict the RACE WINNER, RUNNER-UP and HOW MANY CARS FINISH ON THE LEAD LAP to break any ties.

    Tiebreaker 1: Highest finish by race winner pick.
    Tiebreaker 2: Highest finish by runner-up pick.
    Tiebreaker 3: Closest to number of lead lap finishers.

    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 3.00pm 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.

    All-

    Opti emailed me today and asked if I could choose the match-ups this weekend, as he's off the grid til at least Sunday. Please adhere to the new rule change as outlined at the top of the thread, which includes choosing a winner, runner-up, and number of lead lap cars to finish as tie-breaker determinants. The selections are as follows:

    Jeff Gordon vs. Denny Hamlin
    Greg Biffle vs. Dale Earnhardt Jr.
    Kevin Harvick vs. Tony Stewart
    Clint Bowyer vs. Kasey Kahne
    Jeff Burton vs. Joey Logano

    Best of luck

    Had to switch up Winner and Runner-up. Also swapped Burton for Logano. This will probably bite me in the ass.

    OK so I have my history up on my phone but cant figure out how to screen shot it and post it to show you all I tried to post hours ago. My crappy picks should prove it because I have Gordon to win who is in stinking 26th and Kurt Busch who is a lap down to finish 2nd.

    Las Vegas Results

    Onlooker and Dew picked Smoke to win. DDT, Yisman, Leadfootfred and Luvtogamble picked 22 lead lap finishers.

    Onlooker had the win in his hand, but switched to Logano from Burton at the last minute, allowing DDT to take the big points all alone on 4 points. At least he manged to cling onto the runner up money to help ease the pain. ;-)

    Jeff Gordon 12th vs. Denny Hamlin 20th

    Congrats to the winners. Someone please double check my scores as I could have easily have made an error this week with the dialup speed connection making scrolling about take an eternity and I will transfer the points tonight.

    Will update the season long standings when I am back home next weekend. Don't have he spreadsheet here.

    Hope to see you all again next weekend.
