2017 8th Annual FABO NASCAR "Pick 'Em" Game - Time To Go Racing Again!!!

[ocdart]

Bummer! Dozed off and missed seeing the end of Stage 2.
Who were the two leading drivers at the end of Stage 2?

Found the results: Harvick #1, Logano #2

 

[Riverdawg]

I switched over to watch MSU & WI basketball, so I set a recording for the rest of the race.

I'm not sure Kurt Busch "won" the 2017 Daytona 500 more than he "survived" it!

No Pole pick winner for the Atlanta race. #4 Kevin Harvick will start from the Pole, but nobody liked him enough to pick him.

[ocdart]

All I can say is 'pauly v.100' (FABO) must be living right since he had an almost perfect day with his race picks for the Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway! He should have spent the weekend in the Vegas casinos!
'pauly v.100' picked up a total of -5 bonus points with his driver picks position at the end of both Stage 1 and Stage 2. Then his #78 Truex Jr. pick wins the race and his #42 Larson pick comes in 2nd for a total of -8 more bonus points! You can't get much better than that. After all that, 'pauly v.100' obviously had the low net score for this week at -11.5 points. Outstanding picking this week!!!
Congratulations also to both 'cuda20' (FABO) and 'riverdawg' (FBBO) for correctly picking the Kobalt 400 race winner, #78 Martin Truex Jr. Both picked up -5 bonus points with the winning pick.
See thread Post #32 for the Stage results.

thanks in advance ocdart

I don't keep up with NASCAR enough anymore,
always busy, seems I can't ever seem to watch the races live,
or even practices or qualifying anymore...

DVR setting keep coming up the hour long talk show
Monster Energy NASCAR Series, not the actual races
Comcast search stuff sucks ***...

DAMNIT !!

Chase Elliot
Kyle Larson
And pole Kyle Bush
