2015 6th Annual FABO NASCAR "Pick 'Em" Game - Here We Go Racing Again!!!

Ok guys and gals, time to get going with our 2015 NASCAR "Pick 'Em" game.......

Oh yeah, we're starting next Saturday, Valentine's Day, February 14th, with a pre-season bonus event just like the past several years. So get your picks posted for the Sprint Unlimited. See the post about the race.

We're going with the same rules as the past two years and they again will stay the same all year including bonus points.

1- Pick 2 Drivers each race!{place divided by 2}
ex. 3rd and 9th place =12/2=6----your score for race

2- Bonus pick winning driver.{-5}
ex. your score {6} -5 = 1 score with bonus

3- Bonus pick 2nd place driver.{-3}
ex. your score {6} -3 = 3 score with bonus

4- Picks must be in by drop of green flag.
ex. the sticks with green material waving in air, if no pick avg is 43

5- No picks for 3 straight races and will be sent to pits for the remainder of the season.
ex. out of Competition - lost your team sponsor

6- You may make your picks permanent for the entire season so you don't run the risk of getting the dreaded 43-point race result by forgetting to post your weekly picks. Just let me know in your initial pick post that you want your picks to be permanent for the year. Of course, you can always make a change to your permanent picks if one, or both, of your drivers gets sick, injured or loses his ride.


Let me know who is in so I can get your names on my Excel spreadsheet. It's gonna be another great year!!!

Please make your picks by driver name or car number and driver name. Driver name will always take precedence over car number.
If you make your pick by car number only you're going to be locked in to that car number no matter who the driver is; and if you pick a car number not in that weeks race, you'll end up with '43' (last place) as your score for that car.
..............If you have any questions just ask............

Here we go for 2015!

The Daytona 500 is Feb. 22nd, but just like the past three years we're going to get started earlier with the Sprint Unlimited next Saturday, Feb. 14th.
Again, just like the past two years (it ain't broke so I'm not going to try to fix it), everyone participating in the Unlimited will get a -2 bonus. And also like the past two years, pick 3 drivers and tell me the order they will finish in the Unlimited. Pick the trifecta correctly and you'll get an additional -5 bonus. It doesn't matter if they finish 1st-2nd-3rd, or 5th-8th-last, just as long as you pick the correct order of finish for your 3 drivers.
The Sprint Unlimited green flag is scheduled for 8:34PM EST (5:34PM PST) on February 14th so your picks need to be posted to this thread before that.

Here's a link to the entry list for the Sprint Unlimited on Saturday (limited to last years Pole Winners and past event champions):
http://www.jayski.com/news/stats/201...rint-Unlimited

Check the link info to make sure your 3 driver picks are eligible and planning to race in the Spring Unlimited.

Make sure to get your 3 driver picks (in your projected finishing order) before the green flag drops Saturday.


Good luck all!!!
 
Picks 1st Kevin Harvick or ahead of 2nd Brad Kesolowski or ahead of 3rd Dale Jr., Sprint Unlimited



are we still doing pole picks ? I didn't see it in the rules or am I blind

are we going to pick for the Duels too ??
 
88 and 4 thanks
 
Only 12 players made all three of their finishing order picks for the Sprint Unlimited race. All 12 players received -2 bonus points to start the 2015 NASCAR season.
Congratulations to Back in Time, cuda20, DFootCuda and ocdart for all selecting their Sprint Unlimited drivers in the correct finishing order and picking up the additional -5 bonus points. Way to start the season!

Here's the current point standings:

-7.0 Back in Time

Don't forget to get your Daytona 500 Pole Pick posted to this thread before the start of Pole Qualifying TV coverage later today (Sunday). The TV coverage is scheduled to start at 1:00PM EST (10:00AM PST) with the first cars rolling off for group qualifying about 1:30PM EST (10:30AM PST).
A correct Pole Pick will get you -1 bonus point. We'll do this before every Sprint Cup race this season as we have the past couple of years.

Good luck all!

I hope the rest of our players from the past several years join in.

before the 2 races Thursday Feb. 19th, 4:00 PM & 5:30 PM PST

sorry for the 20 questions, I know it's allot of work doing this for us {THANKS}

Congratulations to 'Back in Time' and 'ocdart' for correctly picking the #24 Jeff Gordon as the 2015 Daytona 500 Pole Winner! Each picked up the -1 bonus point.
No picking necessary for the Duels.
Get your race picks posted, if you haven't already, before the green flag flies for the start of the Daytona 500 next Sunday. I'm using the currently scheduled race start time of 1:30PM EST (10:30AM PST) as the cutoff time for picks.

Good luck all!

Oh yeah, NHRA is running the Arizona Nationals next Sunday also at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler, AZ, next Sunday. Find the game thread, join up and play the FABO/FBBO NHRA "Pick 'Em" game too! That ought to fill your TV time.

Looks like Jeff Gordon {or another Hendrick's cars} has lead most of the race so far
