I want a better run this year... anyway I'll pick later in week... That the final entry list then?
 
A couple things to note that aren't necessarily rules.

First, I will be sending reminders to everyone that selected picks for the previous round approximately 24 hours before the race.

Second is the prize cars, the first one will just be a stock car from the dealer but after that they will be cars from tuners in the Tuning subforum.

On that note, here is the first car, which is of course the defending champions car.



That the final entry list then?

There are still a few drivers who are eligible but haven't announced whether or not they are running so it may change, but I'm guessing that will be the final list. I will make sure to post if it does change though.

I've been waiting so long for this.

Glad to hear.👍

Edit: The 34 car of David Ragan has been added, he is at the very bottom if you wish to select him.👍

Looking forward to this again, hope I do a little bit better than last year. Like the idea about the CPs and double headers, they'll throw a spanner in the works.
 
Prize cars is a sweet idea.

That consecutive pick thing... uh what? BK every week?
 
Better get out a dart board for this. At least when it comes to taladega and daytona

That was my thought too when I first started to think about the 500 and one wreck could take out all three picks at once aswell. :lol: :indiff:

The more I think about it, the more I think I'm going to pick Danica just for the hell of it. :sly:

Isn't she the one who usually starts the wreck on the super speedways? At least when I've seen her run.
 
I'm debating if I should do this or wait for your F1 version.

Why not both, double your chances of winning.👍

I'm hoping it will keep people participating.

I'm going to keep track of how many times you pick him this year.:lol:

You wouldn't be the first.:lol:

Nah, that's Steve Wallace, not sure Danica can fill his shoes, it takes special talent to be the first person to crash in nearly every race.:lol:
 
Picks are in.

You wouldn't be the first.:lol:

There's certainly going to be a lot less yellow flags in the Nationwide this year. :lol:

Edit: Just changed one of my picks.

Let's do this!!!

love the weekly prize idea and the scoring is much better than last year's

just to make clear since i didn't see anything about it, but we get 12 consecutive picks for the year correct?

also when you say that 5 points will be awarded at the end of the season for each unused consecutive picks, you mean at the end of the chase correct?
 
I'm back again for this season, hopefully I don't forget about the Saturday races like I did the last two years.

You start with 0.

Yes.

I will be sending out reminders to everyone that competed the previous round about 24 hours before the next race.👍
