Please let me know if I've shown 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.

The Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, SC, is scheduled for to kick off the playoffs on Sunday, September 4, with the green flag scheduled for approximately 6:15PM EDT (3:15PM PDT).

Get your race picks posted before the green flag flies.

You better update your scorecard before the NASCAR playoffs start!

Bubba Wallace will NOT be in the #23 at Darlington on Sunday or after for the rest of the 2022 NASCAR season.
Ty Gibbs will NOT be subbing for Kurt Busch in the #45.

Ty Gibbs is now in the #23 for the rest of the 2022 NASCAR season and Bubba Wallace will finish out the year in the #45. Wallace will run for the championship in the #45 that Kurt qualified for the playoffs.

Confused?
Hey, it's NASCAR.

Typical BS from them if he's in the chase, nope. If this is only the owners deal, that's fine.

I believe it is only the owners championship.

So is Blaney still in ??

 

[Yunick13]

Blaney is still in Chase.

Seems to me a step backward. Gibbs is more than capable of getting the 45 the best possible sitting in the points. But they apparently have little confidence in him, and would rather have their namebrand driver instead.

Bubba potentially grabs an entirely different demographic than Ty.

Officially announced this morning:

Cup racing at North Wilkesboro is going to be so cool! And I bet that's going to be a tough ticket to get when they go on sale.

You can reserve a spot on a priority-to-buy list starting at 12:00noon EDT (9:00AM PDT) on 09/09/22 with a $25 donation to Speedway Children's Charity...
