To be honest I would love to see Brad take his new ride and ownership to the winning circle today, he lost his dad this year and was a great nascar and gear head driver/builder, good luck today

not to late, race is this evening :thumbsup:
 
This was a good race ! My man Blainy almost! Almost made it, glad to see Brad drive his race car today, I enjoyed it much
 
I thought it was good to see Roush cars competitive again. Hopefully they can pull off a few wins this year.
 
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.

Here are the game standings following the 2022 Daytona 500:
ocdart (FABO) -7.0 (no Pole pick) 9 12 10 4 0.0
LocuMob (FABO) -2.0 (no Pole pick) 9 19 (S1-2)(S2-2) 10 13 5.5
Back in Time (FABO) -2.0 P34 9 6 (S1-1) 10 9 6.5
riverdawg (FBBO) 0.0 LP11 L19 L9 (S1-2)(S2-2) 13 10 7.5
fishmens67 (FABO) -2.0 P5 -1 22 12 (S2-1) 21 4 8.5
memike (FABO) -2.0 (no Pole pick) 12 22 (S2-1) 4 21 9.5
44070dart (FABO) -2.0 P9 9 22 (S2-1) 10 21 12.5
Yunick13 (FABO) -2.0 P12 5 6 (S1-1) 32 9 17.5
Dart_Doctor (FABO) -2.0 LP9 L9 L5 10 32 19.0 Avispa (FABO) -2.0 (no Pole pick) 5 11 32 37 32.5
Sublime one (FABO) 0.0 (no Pole pick) (no pick) (no pick) 40 40 40.0
cuda20 (FABO) 0.0 (no Pole pick) (no pick) (no pick) 40 40 40.0

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.

Saturday, Feb. 5: Drivers will take to the quarter-mile paved oval for a two-hour practice session on Fox Sports 2 starting at 12:30pm EST (9:30am PST), then end the first day with single-car qualifying runs at 8:30pm EST (5:30pm PST) on Fox Sports 1.
The single-car qualifying speeds will determine the fields and lineups for Sunday’s four heat races.

• Sunday, Feb. 6: Heat races
Schedule: 3:00pm EST (Noon PST), FOX [NASCAR RaceDay comes on at 2:00pm (11:00 am PST]
There will be four 25-lap heat races with 10 cars in each race Sunday, with those events starting at 3:00pm EST (Noon PST). The four fastest cars from Saturday’s single-car qualifying will be on the pole for each heat race (fastest speed in the first heat race, second fastest speed in the second heat race, etc.). The remainder of the field will be filled out in the same manner.
For example, the first heat race will consist of cars with qualifying speeds ranked one, five, nine, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33 and 37 on the speed chart. The second heat race will consist of cars with qualifying speeds ranked two, six, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38. And so on.

• How to advance from the heat race to the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum:
The top four finishers in each heat race — 16 total cars — will automatically advance through to the Clash later in the evening. The winner of the first heat race will start on the pole, with the outside pole going to the winner of the second heat race.
The winners of heat race three and four will make up the second row. The remaining order for the 16 cars will be filled out in the same manner.

• Sunday, Feb. 6: Last Chance Qualifying races
Schedule: Approximately 4:10 pm EST (1:10pm PST, FOX)
The Last Chance Qualifying races follow the heat races. Each heat race has 10 cars, with four automatically advancing to the main event. That leaves six cars from each heat race, or 24 total cars, not advancing.
All 24 of those cars will advance to two ensuing 50-lap Last Chance Qualifying (LCQ) races.
The starting order for each LCQ is based on finishing positions in the heat races, with the remaining field from heat races one and three racing in the first LCQ event. The second LCQ race is comprised of cars from heat race two and four.
The top three finishers (six total cars) in both Last Chance Qualifying races will advance to the Busch Light Clash, filling out positions 17-22 of the 23 available positions.

The final spot is reserved for the driver who finished the highest in the 2021 points standings who does not transfer on finishing position in the heat races or Last Chance Qualifying races. So, in essence, that means 2021 champion Kyle Larson is the only driver locked into the field.

• Sunday, Feb. 6: Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum
With the field set, the 150-lap main event is scheduled for 6:00 pm EST (3:00pm PST) on FOX.

After all of that, how is scoring for the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum going to work?
• Just participate in the Busch Light Clash and pick up -2 bonus points
• Pick three drivers for the main event and list them in the order you think they will finish in the race (first driver named will either win the main event or finish closest to the winner, second driver named will finish behind the first named driver but ahead of the last named driver, last named driver will finish the main event behind your other named drivers). Pick the correct finishing order for your three choices and pick up -5 bonus points


As far as the 2022 NASCAR "Pick 'Em" game.......

We're going with the same rules as the past few years and they again will stay the same all year including bonus points.

1- Pick 2 Drivers each race! (place divided by 2)
ex. 3rd and 9th place =12/2=6----your score for race

2- Bonus pick winning driver. (-5)
ex. your score (6) -5 = 1 score with bonus

3- Bonus pick 2nd place driver. (-3)
ex. your score (6) -3 = 3 score with bonus

4- Picks must be in by drop of green flag.
ex. the sticks with green material waving in air, if no pick avg is 40


5- No picks for 3 straight races and will be sent to pits for the remainder of the season.
ex. out of Competition - lost your team sponsor

6- You may make your picks permanent for the entire season so you don't run the risk of getting the dreaded 40-point race result by forgetting to post your weekly picks. Just let me know in your initial pick post that you want your picks to be permanent for the year. Of course, you can always make a change to your permanent picks if one, or both, of your drivers gets sick, injured or loses his ride.


Let me know who is in so I can get your names on my Excel spreadsheet. 2022 is gonna be another great year!!!

Please make your picks by driver name or car number and driver name. Driver name will always take precedence over car number.
If you make your pick by car number only you're going to be locked in to that car number no matter who the driver is; and if you pick a car number not in that weeks race, you'll end up with '40' (last place) as your score for that car.
..............If you have any questions just ask............

@Sublime one
I recorded your 'locked' Pole pick and 'locked' race pick of Brad Keselowski.
You need to pick a 2nd 'locked' race driver.
Of course, you can always 'unlock' your picks for any race and pick different Pole and Race picks.
 
So, last week #2 Austin Cindric wins the 2022 NASCAR season opener Daytona 500 in his 8th career Cup start. Then wins the Pole at Fontana the following week in his 9th career start.
You think this kid might be someone to keep an eye on?
And nobody picked him to win the Pole today so no Pole bonus points this week.
