Comeon Huntr - you have to stay in it!

Too many changes, too few races will be watched. Maybe in 2015 when I'm not camping every month.

DipStick , Does the Danica 25 Point Bonus WIN still applies this year ????

DipStick I would like to volunteer to keep STANDINGS again, unless you want to mix it up or if someone else would like the opportunity .

I say no... no added value for a Hail Mary.


I have to agree ! It like a Nuc in a silo just waiting to take everyone out



I think you did an excellent job last year Champ. :

Thanks !

Flyover from USAF Thunderbirds & excellent singing of National Anthem means its that time for "Drivers start your Engines "

Same deal as last year - five points for the winner, one for each pick inside the top-five. Maximum possible, nine points.

I'm going to have to rethink how we do Chase picks since the Chase has evolved in to a playoff. Interested in everyone's thoughts on that... keep picking seven or do we want something different? I like the idea of bonus points for picking which drivers advance to the next round - obviously, a win ensure a driver advances.

Hadn't seen that before.

GWguy You seem interested in NASCAR , how about joining us ? We need more players . Too late for today, but next Sunday !

I'm west of Daytona, it's storming here and heading that way according to the radar.

I used to be a lot more interested, been to the races a few times, but I've kinda lost interest over the past 2-3 years. I like to watch Daytona, but get involved with other things as the season goes on.

Thanx anyway.

Pretty sure it's not going to clear up any time soon, huge storm.
