NASCAR Weekly Picks Game - Phoenix

[Optional]

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;

Kurt Busch v AJ Allmendinger
Kasey Khane v Marcos Ambrose
Mark Martin v David Reutimann
Clint Bowyer v Brendan Gaughan
Tony Stewart v Carl Edwards


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

Tiebreaker 1: Highest finish by race winner pick.
Tiebreaker 2: Closest to number of lead lap finishers.
Tiebreaker 3: First person to have posted their picks.

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.

[blanda]

Congrats, Mike -- Thanks, Optional!

Did you keep 22 points of mine, or do I owe you for Phoenix?

[Optional]

You owe Blanda. Only kept Mike's as he is non-pro and can only send 2 points per day.

[DDT]

Mike has been saying for weeks that he was going pro.........

[Optional]

I think he feels 'dirty' betting anywhere but 5D

[DDT]

I think he feels 'dirty' betting anywhere but 5D

It looks like 5d is the best for NASCAR, BetOnline doesn't even list the odds until race day.

Hmmm... no one has taken Gaughan. Guess Clint practiced well and he practiced crap. Thought that one might be more of a toss up.

Gaughan doesn't have much of a pedigree. Why would people want to choose him?

Go for it Opti

[Optional]

Thanks Vegas

Gaughan doesn't have much of a pedigree. Why would people want to choose him?

The RCR car against the MWR car was my hope of a good matchup that was hard to pick. MWR car better than expected and the #33 appears slow.
