Thanks for all you do ocdart...

not sure what I'll do next, if I'll stick with my locked in picks now or not
if I forget, you know what to do anyway...LOL

 

[Budnicks]

Who will win...LOL

stress & the waiting is killing me...

Just turned it on...

 

[Budnicks]

I think I am the 2015 NASCAR Pick em' Champion,
my guys {locked in picks} I rode them for a while now too,
Harvick 2nd & Logano finished 4th, at Homestead
well enough, I think "nobody could have made up enough points to overtake me"

another on for FBBO

we'll see soon enough, when ocdart posts the results

Congrats to Kyle "Checkers or Wreckers" Busch,
I'm glad it wasn't Jeff "Golden Spoon" Gordon,
I was hoping for Kevin "Freaky Fast" Harvick to repeat thou...

Sorry for the major delay in posting the final standing points. Just been really busy this week at work covering for another that was on vacation. Combine that with getting ready for the Thanksgiving holiday and weekend didn't leave much extra time.

Before we get to the last race results and final standings, CONGRATULATIONS to Jeff Gordon for a stellar career! Four Sprint Cup championships, three Daytona 500 wins, 93 career wins (third all-time), 81 pole positions (third all-time), and 797 consecutive race starts.

Something unprecedented happened in our game last Sunday...Congrats to 'Dart_Doctor' (FABO), 'DFootCuda' (FABO), 'fishmens67' (FABO), 'kazooom' (FABO), 'moparfan68' (FABO) and 'ocdart' (FABO) for hitting the FABO NASCAR "exacta" by correctly picking #18 Kyle Busch as the race winner and #4 Kevin Harvick as the 2nd-place finisher. They each picked up -8 bonus points!

Congratulations to 'Budnicks' (FBBO) and 'cuda20' for also picking the race runner-up and getting -3 bonus points!
Great picking all!

Well, that's it for 2015. The opening race of the 2016 season is the Daytona 500 on February 21, 2016. But, as usual, we'll start with some preliminary events during the prior Speed Week before the 500. Details will be in the 2016 game thread so watch for it late January next year.

THANK YOU to all who participated this year! I hope you had a good time and that this game brought a little more pleasure to watching a bunch of drivers turn left.

Enjoy the Holidays and we'll see y'all back here for the 2016 NASCAR season!
