Please let me know if I show either your Pole or Race picks incorrectly or if you have any questions.
Pole picks will only be shown on the point standings immediately after each of the 8 races that will have qualifying in the 2021 season.

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.

The next race on the 2021 NASCAR schedule is the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, VA, on Sunday, October 31, with the green flag scheduled for approximately 2:15pm EDT (11:15AM PDT). There will not be any Cup Series practice or qualifying for this race.

Post your Race Picks before the green flag flies.
