will make my picks later. Love your Elliot v Labonte. Are both drivers locked in if it rains?

[Optional]

Ah didn't think about that! But just checked Jayski and they say yes.

That will be a tough one to pick too.

[Optional]

Just got some great news.

Looks like we have a real money sponsor for our game. They will put up a $25 freeplay each week of the Chase series and a $250 prize for whoever picks the most correct over the 10 races. (and will double the amount if more than 50 people play. Unlikely I know, but that would be equivalent to $100 per race in cash/points if we did get 50)

Just have to get the official ok from SBR. Nice huh!?

[hawk 5]

Sounds like a great deal. I'm in.

[Jay Price]

And predict the race winner, to break any ties. (First person to have posted their picks wins if still tied)

don't recall if this was adressed in previous weeks or not but what if there is a tie and neither picked the race winner, is it a split pot? Or is it whoever winner choice had the best finish? or....?

[soxwin1917]

Clint Bowyer v Jamie McMurray
Greg Biffle v Mark Martin
Kurt Busch v Kyle Busch
Jeff Gordon v Kasey Kahne
Bill Elliott v Bobby Labonte

What Soxwin said. Whoever's winner finishes higher. (your JG pick beat his JJ at Bristol to take the points)

It only matters who posts first if you both pick the same race winner.

Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Who are you betting on this week btw? I think I want to tail you.


Prize Pool is up to 135 points.

So we don't have to put in our account # somewhere for the sponser? How will we get our freeplay if we win?

I'll let you know the details when I do, but you won't have to put in an account number anywhere, just be signed up with an account at the book before the race to be eligible for the freeplay prize money. (doesn't matter if it's funded or not) Probably only 1x rollover requirement too.

sorry, wasn't ignoring your question, just logged back in and saw it.

I'm actually pretty conservative with my real $$ bets most of the time, just have Kahne and Montoya on top 5's for this week. Also expect Hamlin to be there but have no $$ on it.

[Optional]

Montoya is looking good at lap 110

[Sawsi]

Looks like all the RPM cars are falling off from the earlier parts of the race. Also it sucked seeing Denny lose the engine. Disappointing.

[avssakic]

looks like I was the only one to pick Martin over Biffle ha

[Optional]

If McMurray can get back on the lead lap he will eat Bowyer and you will be looking a good chance for the win. No one looks a chance to crack 5 this week, not even Ricky.

[Optional]

If McMurray can get back on the lead lap

No sooner does he say it and it happens.
