2022 13th Annual FABO NASCAR "Pick 'Em" Game - Time To Go Racing Again!!!

That was a very interesting 2022 season-opening Daytona 500...

...and after all of that, nobody picked either the 2022 Daytona 500 race winner, #2 Austin Cindric, nor the race runner-up, #23 Bubba Wallace. So no race winner or race runner-up bonus points this week.

#19 Martin Truex Jr. was the race leader at the end of Stage 1, #6 Brad Keselowski was in 2nd.
#19 Martin Truex Jr. was the race leader at the end of Stage 2, #22 Joey Logano was in 2nd.

As a reminder here's a quick explanation of what the above numbers represent:
(your score before the race) (your Pole pick car #) (Pole winner bonus point) (race pick car #) (race pick car #) (Stage 1 bonus points) (Stage 2 bonus points) (race pick finish position) (race pick finish position) (race winner/runner-up bonus points) (your score after the race)
Please let me know if I show either your Pole or Race picks incorrectly or if you have any questions.

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 Wise Power 400 at Auto Club Speedway (Fontana) posted before the green flag drops at approximately 3:45 PM EST (12:45 PM PST) on Sunday, February 27.

Your Pole Pick for Fontana will need to be posted before qualifying starts at 2:30PM EST (11:30AM PST) on Saturday, February 26.

And enjoy the race on the 2-mile oval at Auto Club Speedway because this will probably be the final race on the "big track". It was announced last September that Auto Club Speedway is going to be transformed into a half-mile short track. Auto Club Speedway will then join Bristol, Martinsville and Richmond Raceway as short tracks on the NASCAR schedule.
This announcement followed the closing of Auto Club Dragway on the northern side of the property in Fontana.
UPDATE (02/26/22): During the qualifying telecast Mike Joy announced the short track transformation plans are currently on 'indefinite hold'.


Just my opinion...but progress? I think not.
