Seeing what happened to Bowyer and Kahne, I feel pretty silly about all the changes I made.

I like when we had the 6th match up, and the 2nd winner, lead laps for 3rd tie breaker and last year when we could only edit picks 1 time before start of race. Just my thoughts but im find playing either way.

[Optional]

^^^

I guess we could do 6. That worked fine last week.

Rules has always been the same "Make or Change your picks anytime up until actual race start time." Never been a limit on number of changes.

Opti can I change my final pick I want Stewart to bt Edwards let me know if I could

Yes. Anything you want to change just post/edit before the green flag falls and it's all good.

Phoenix Results

Mike goes from hero to zero, winning last week then pulls out our first Duck Egg of the year this week.

Not that he is alone really. I'm pretty sure this is the lowest average score for a race since we started playing in 2010!

No one picked Denny to win, only Dew guessed the lead lap cars correctly, no one scored a 5, and only 4 players out of 20 scored more than 2!

Onlooker continues his strong start to 2012 with a clear win and the only 4 score.

A 3 way tie between BlueGhost, Luvtogamble and OnenOnlyMush came down to who's driver performed least worst. Meaning Edwards in 17th Brings it home for Mushy!



Kurt Busch 15th v AJ Allmendinger 18th
Kasey Khane 34th v Marcos Ambrose 32nd
Mark Martin 9th v David Reutimann 36th
Clint Bowyer 30th v Brendan Gaughan 27th
Tony Stewart 22nd v Carl Edwards 17th

Winner: Hamlin
Lead Lap Cars: 17

[yisman]

[DDT]

nice job onlooker

Great job onlooker

I think I only got one.

I counted Martin and Stewart as wins for you in the last picks posted. You went form 2 to 1 and back to 2 with the changes. (I think)

[onlooker]

Thanks guys.

I think I should get that left over 53 points.

Won the Bud Shootout and Phoenix. I hope there are more to come.

Oh shit. Edwards won the last matchup.

I had better double check the damn scores in case I did that with others too.

[yisman]

yeah Stewart tanked it because he stalled and fell several laps behind (had to be pushed to pit road from what I read).

So I originally had 2 right and then I switched to 1 right.

[onlooker]

I almost switched Edwards to Stewart, but seen to many people had Stewart. Then thought, anything could happen. I didn't know the guy was going to turn the car off, and the new fuel system wouldn't allow it to start back up without a reset.

[DDT]

It's official, I'm tailing Onlooker!

[OnenOnlyMush]

If I do have some points coming to me, can you just keep them so I can play for a higher % next time?

[Optional]

Cool. Holding 23 for you. Just keep your own tally of how much you have left in credit as you spend them.

At almost the same moment on the scanner Todd Parrot was telling Ambrose to do the same thing to save fuel, but Ambrose refused. Said he was too scared to actually.

[onlooker]

Hey Opti. Did you recheck the standings?

[Optional]

Nah, just ate a huge steak with several beers. Way too lazy for now. Will get er done before morning.

Anyone else is welcome to do it for me though

[Optional]

Hey Opti. Did you recheck the standings?

Thanks for pointing that out Yis.

Will send you points now.
