    I feel like I should change to Smoke with Newman starting at the rear now. But would hate to lose so much more if I changed it and lost.

    I do like the underdog sides mostly. But I usually don't think much about who I will pick until well after I post the matchups. (I think you're right that I was always going to take Newman there though)

    I like a promising underdog to go against a struggling favorite as the first thing I look for. Which the Newman/Stewart one looked like after Thursday sessions.

    my impression was you often posted stuff where you figured most would go one way and you'd go the other

    not all of the matchups but some of them. Newman/Stewart definitely fits.

    I don't have that plan at all. Promise But I think you are right. I mostly take the longer shots. Probably because I am looking for the good in them and the bad in the matchup on the fave side.

    Basically on like 75% of the matchups where there's a 'popular side' among us, you're on the other side.

    Now you mention it, probably smart for me to stop doing that the way I have been scoring.

    Oh man What a change. You had it won with a 5, equal with one other.

    But now I have to go re-score everyone with a 4 (half the field) to work out 2nd place!

    Charlotte Results

    I must have really dished up an easy set of picks this week. Only two of us managed to score less than 3. ( @ BadNina)

    Congrats to Blueghost as the only player to manage 5 from 5 taking the win.

    No one picked the winner or lead lap finishers correctly.

    Of all the 4s tied for runner up Rob, Luvtogamble and Robber each had 2nd placed Hamlin as the win pick, so it came down to who picked closest to 6 lead lap cars... which Luvtogamble won by a single place.


    Tony Stewart 13th     v Ryan Newman 20th
    David Reuitimann 30th v AJ Allmendinger 24th
    Regan Smith 38th v Jeff Burton 28th
    Kurt Busch 21st v Trevor Bayne 22nd
    Kyle Busch 5th v Mark Martin 6th

    Winner: Bowyer
    Lead Lap: 6


    blueghost 5 20% = 53 points
    luvtogamble 4 Hamlin/16 87 points
    Robber 4 Hamlin/17
    rob 4 Hamlin/20
    shaunovery 4 Jimmie/10
    yisman 4 Jimmie/18
    avssakic 4 Kyle/15
    leadfootfred 4 Kyle/19
    rickie65 4 Kyle/20
    5mike5 4 BradK/15
    Noles1992 3
    CarolinaDaze 3
    Vegas39 3
