[Optional]

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.

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

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.

[leadfootfred]

Thanks Optional, I wish I could share some insight with you guys but it is just a lucky streak.

[onlooker]

Rough season.

Congrats Lead.

[BET THE HOOK]

I needed to gain ground this week but stayed put in 3rd.

[your pixel army]

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.

[Optional]

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.

[guee]

good stuff folks its a long season
