My guys #4 & #22 finished in 4th & 5th IIRC,
not bad, but no FBBO guys did very well or honorable mentions even

although I am still leading "all the FABO guys", so far...LOL
:laughing4: sorry I had to get a FBBO plug in there... :headbang:

so much for Jeff Gordon qualifying well, at his last Sonoma race in his org. home state...

Where's Bobtile ?, he's usually up on the NASCAR stuff or decent picks
what's up BOB, where are you ?

glad to see FBBO latecomer to the Pick-Em' game, cdr participating too

 

[Budnicks]

#88 Dale Jr. for the pole, Daytona Coke Zero 400

My regular locked in picks #4 & #22 for the race...

No Pole pick winner at Daytona this week since qualifying was "weathered out"

 

[ocdart]

That was the wildest finish I've seen at Daytona, or any track, in quite a while. Thank goodness that Austin Dillon was able to walk away!
Congrats to 'Back in Time' (FABO), 'bobtile' (FBBO), 'MoparDaddy' (FABO) and 'stroked340' (FABO)!

Each of them picked up -5 points for picking the race winner and -3 bonus points for picking the race runner-up for the low weekly net score of -6.5. Outstanding picking!
Congrats also to '73AbodEE' (FABO), 'cdr' (FABO, 'fishmens67' (FABO), 'ocdart' (FABO), and 'SpeedracerX' (FABO) for also picking the race winner and getting -5 bonus points; and to '71dartswinger' (FABO) and 'kazoom' (FABO) for picking the race runner-up and getting -3 bonus points. Great picking!

It's good to hear from ya' again

 

[ocdart]

It looks like Mother Nature is not a NASCAR fan - qualifying was rained out again this week. No bonus points for Kentucky qualifying picks.
Looks like race picks may be interesting with no qualifying and minimal practice.

Less than 30 minutes to the green flag at Kentucky and still no picks from 'bobtile'.
I sent him a PM. Can anybody else get in touch with him?
I hate to see him miss out.

[Budnicks]

Thanks ocdart
Kyle Busch was pretty-much "the man" there,
I thought Lagono was going to do it for awhile thou...

a bunch of 1.5 mile races/tracks will be coming soon,
too bad they don't have more road courses
"especially in the countdown races"

 

[ocdart]

A little late, but here's the info:

Pick a winner!

 

[Budnicks]

I'll take Kurt Busch for the Loudon NH pole
& my reg. locked in picks

 

[ocdart]

We finally get decent weather for Qualifying and nobody picks a winner!

 

[bobtile]

2 and 4 for the race. Thanks

 

[Budnicks]

How about that Kyle Busch

Damn

3 of the last of his 4 races wins !!

I got another great finish IIRC, 3rd #4 & 4th #22

yea ha

 

[ocdart]

I'm not a huge Kyle Busch fan but that was a outstandingly gutsy pass he made on both Harvick and Keselowski! It turned out to be the pass for the win.

I'm not a big Kyle Busch fan either...

Just sayen'

I do like Kurt, even with all his troubles he's just not so damn "phony",
Kyle used to be like that too,
he's mellowed after owning his own Nationwide team & having a kid or injuries now too
not another a-typical media puppet, talking mouthpiece or speakerhead same ol'crap,
IMO in NASCAR, Roushe, Hendricks or Childress teams most the rest are...

Partially why I like Tony Stewart, Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick also,
for the same reasons, not NASCAR/Hendricks or Good Year hand-puppets
