#11 Denny Hamlin was the race leader at the end of Stage 1; #22 Joey Logano was in 2nd place.

I just read that Clint Bowyer (#14) announced his retirement effective at the end of the 2020 NASCAR season.
He will be joining the FOX Sports booth as an analyst. That should be entertaining.

Snake (FABO) 397.0 L18 L22 (S1-2) 11 3 402.0


Thank you to everyone for playing this year. I hope this little game brought a bit more enjoyment again this year to watching NASCAR. Watch for the posting early in 2021 for the next edition of the FABO NASCAR "Pick 'Em" game!

Have an outstanding Thanksgiving, a wonderful Holiday Season and a very Happy New Year!
See y'all in 2021.
