He picked the #1 qualifier in Funny Car, the #2 qualifier in Top Fuel and the #4 qualifier in both Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle. He also picked up 3 bonus points when his Top Fuel qualifier won their first round of the Pep Boys Top Fuel All-Star Callout. Way to go!

We have 13 players this week and 11 different driver combos made up of:
* 6 different Top Fuel drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There is a possibility of two head-to-head matchups in Round 2 if all four drivers picks survive Round 1.

Yea Ha !!!!
my 1st rd of qualifying (O-fer) shitty picks, did 'sort of well'
after the fact & actually racing
lots of upsets & people smoked the tires at the hit,
the right lane sucked (or is it just my perceptions ?, 1 lane track)
strange because they all tested there prior,
they all should have had a great handle on the track
JFR was out quick, John Britney Robert & Austin, 1 & done...
T/F Britney needs to work on her lights/reactions
& Grubby needs to get the car to not smoke the tires
T/F Steve Torrence raced better
P/S Miss Piggy went out quick
can't say it hurt my feelings any
P/S Aaron Stanfield went out early too
P/SM Matt Smith went out relatively quick, I didn't like that
but his wife Angie got to the finals, only to get beat by Chase V&H
(kid who replace Angel)
P/SM that sort of new kid on Vance & Hines's bike,
Chase did very well
I may have to rethink a couple of my locked in picks
seems like a lot of the youngsters did really well
F/C I was disappointed in Capps didn't go farther
F/C Matt Hagan car new wrap looks cool, car did well too

Holy crap! I'm #1. I took a screen shot picture of this because I am very sure, without a doubt, absolutely positive that I with never hold the #1 spot again. I will drop faster than a prom dress, lol.

Sorry I missed it, guys. Got caught up in taking a spring break trip and was off line for a week. We put 3400 miles on our new Jeep while visiting the Wellborn and Petty museums and the Outer Banks of NC. Maybe I'll join in for the next race.
