How many of us have seen our Mopar's engine temp as high as 350F? Early in the race at Las Vegas William Byron's car picked up a trash bag that covered the entire radiator opening and the announcers said his coolant temp was at 350F as he entered the pits to get the bag removed. The fact that the engine lasted for the complete 400 miles was pretty amazing.was still running

Nobody picked #45 Tyler Reddick as the race runner-up so no race runner-up bonus points this week.

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.
