Please post your picks for the next race and let me know if you want to "lock" them in for future weeks. I will put an "L" before either your Pole pick or your race picks to show they've been "locked".
As always, you can always make different picks each week. Your "locked" picks will always be there should you forget to post your race picks, your computer malfunctions or the site should go down temporarily.

Don't forget to get your picks for the 2023 season-ending NASCAR CUP SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP race at Phoenix Race posted before the green flag drops at approximately 3:15pm EDT (12:15pm PDT) on Sunday, November 5.
Your Pole Pick will need to be posted before qualifying starts at 4:35pm EDT (1:35pm PDT) on Saturday, November 4.

The game win is coming down to the final race of the season.
