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

[ocdart]

Again, no comments on the race because I didn't get a chance to see any of it.

Congratulations to 'Budnicks' (FBBO), 'cuda20' (FABO) - 2nd week in a row, 'kazooom' (FABO) and game leader 'pauly v.100' (FABO) for correctly picking the race winner, #18 Kyle Busch! They each picked up -5.0 bonus points. Good picking!
Nobody picked the race runner-up, #77 Erik Jones, so no runner-up bonus points awarded this week.
'Budnicks' (FBBO) and 'kazooom' (FABO) had the low net score for the week with -2.5 points.
#18 Kyle Busch won Stage 1 with #77 Erik Jones coming in second. Stage 2 was won by #20 Matt Kenseth with #48 Jimmie Johnson coming in second.

Great picking Budnicks. Tough week for me and aslant.

UPDATE: The NASCAR.com website now shows Southern 500 qualifying is scheduled for Saturday, September 2nd, at 12:00Noon EDT (9:00AM PDT).

 

[Riverdawg]

Keep my same picks. Truex jr is the defending champ and was driving the Auto-owners car last year.

 

[alsant]

Truex
Larson
Truex pole.


Good luck all!!!

 

[Riverdawg]

wholly guacamolly what a finish. Truex Jr. blows a tire with 2 laps to go too many laps on those tires. Hamlin wins after missing pit road entrance and losing 8-12 seconds because of that miscue but drives his butt off to catch Truex.

 

[ocdart]

Again, no comments on the race because I haven't had a chance to watch it. I recorded the race to watch later tonight but our power went out so probably didn't record the finish.
Power's back on now so I picked up the results from NASCAR.com in order to post the current standings after the race

Congratulations to 'Budnicks' (FBBO), 'cuda20' (FABO), 'DFootCuda' (FABO) and 'kazooom' (FABO) for correctly picking the race runner-up, #18 Kyle Busch. Each picked up -3 bonus points.
No race winner bonus points this week since nobody picked the race winner, #11 Denny Hamlin.
'Cuda20' (FABO) had the low net score for the week with -2.0 points.
#78 Martin Truex Jr. won Stage 1 with #42 Kyle Larson coming in second. Stage 2 was also won by #78 Martin Truex Jr. with #11 Denny Hamlin coming in second.
