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

[ocdart]

Bristol green flag at 7:51PM EDT. No picks posted by either 'bobtile' (FBBO), 'MoparDaddy' (FABO) or 'stroked340' (FABO).
Third consecutive race without picks posted by 'bobtile' so he's lost his sponsor and is parked for the rest of the 2015 season. I hope he returns next year.

I'm sticking with the blind squirrel theory

:headbang: Yea Me...LOL

It's sad to see Bobtile not participating,
maybe just an oversight :violent-smiley-100:

 

[Budnicks]

Darlington Race pole pick
Kurt Busch

still my regular "locked in" Harvick & Logano picks

 

[ocdart]

Congratulations to both 'DFootCuda' (FABO) and 'memike' (FABO) for correctly picking the Darlington Pole Winner, #2 Brad Keselowski. Each earned -1 bonus point!

 

[Budnicks]

Oh well Kurt was doing good the 1st session...

 

[ocdart]

Just my opinion, but this was one of the better races I've watched in quite awhile. I loved how NASCAR brought out all of the history and tradition of the Southern 500 at Darlington, and how NBC joined right in by bringing in Ken Squire and Ned and Dale Jarrett to announce part of the race. Great job all!

Nobody picked race winner Carl Edwards.
Congratulations this week to '66340sedan' (FABO), 73AbodEE (FABO), 'Back in Time' (FABO), 'fishmens67' (FABO) and 'memike' (FABO) for picking race runner-up #2 Joey Logano. Each Each picked up -3 bonus points.
'memike' got the low net score for the week with -1.0 point.

Denny Hamlin tore his right ACL playing basketball Tuesday night. He's been cleared to continue racing but will need surgery after the close of the season.
Hamlin tore the ACL in his left knee in January 2010, again playing basketball.

 

[Budnicks]

Hamlin should probably stay away from baseball, not put himself in that position,
maybe just concentrate more on his career in NASCAR & Driving, not stick & ball sports...LOL

- - - Updated - - -

I'll stick with my great reg. "locked in picks"...LOL &

I'll try Kurt Busch again for the Richmond 400 pole pick...

hey where's my - {neg. -1 & -3} points for Lagono & Harvick position picks

 

[bobtile]

Sorry guys, just real busy with work and racing this year. I really just lose track of time and not thinking about making pics. Football season started and I didn't even realize it. I' ll be back for next year. I can't imagine it being crazy like this. Good luck Budnicks. Take it to em.

Looks like Mother Nature and her rain won the pole in Chicagoland. No "Pole Pick" bonus this week.

 

[Budnicks]

Oh well, rain again

I was talking about the last race, Richmond
I didn't see any neg. points -1 & -3 for
Harvick finished 3rd -1 & Logano finished 2nd -3,
maybe it was already figured in possibly...
