As a reminder here's a quick explanation of what the above numbers represent:
(your score before the race) (race pick car #) (race pick car #) (Competition Caution bonus point) (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.
The next race on the 2023 schedule is the Enjoy Illinois 300 presented by TicketSmarter at World Wide Technology Raceway.
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 Toyota/Save Mart 350 on the road course at Enjoy Illinois 300 at Sonoma Raceway posted before the green flag drops at approximately 3:45pm EDT (12:45pm PDT) on Sunday, June 11.
Your Pole Pick for World Wide Technology Raceway will need to be posted before qualifying starts at 6:00pm EDT (3:00pm PDT) on Saturday, June 10.

Congratulations everyone!
So close this week for me not to get a win

Why thank ya. Kyle (the evil one ) looked so good at practice, then he qualified so well he looked like a big favorite. Watching nascar this year I can really see why viewership is dropping. The racing sucks, and if fox had all the races I would definitely stop watching, or turn the sound off and listen to MRN's broadcast. IMHO the booth is terrible, or maybe it's just me.

 

[Unconventional]

I just sad a TV commercial, The Overtime Cup season is half over already?

 

[Yunick13]

5/9

9 pole

 

[44070dart]

^^^ Agreed, think the 9 will come with a vengeance, especially since it's a road course. High on my list.

 

[Yunick13]

He should be determined now that he got kicked out of a race. Should be enough of a motivation, especially since it's a race that he's dominated before

 

[ocdart]

Sonoma picks:

Pole
#45 Reddick

Race
#8 Ky. Busch
#9 Elliott

Wait until we get screeching Burton, over excited Dale Jr and Letarte who can't shut up

 

[Back in Time]

Larson for the pole
Bush /Elliott for the race

 

[44070dart]

Yeah ..but if Bowyer say .." he holds a pretty wheel " one more time I'll need a new TV. Less is more sometimes, and none of them get that. Maybe it's that I'm just disgusted with the racing today, compared to what it was. Or I'm just getting old and cranky

 

[Yunick13]

I miss Ned Jarrett and Eli Gold

Elliott for Sonoma pole

 

[44070dart]

More rumors about racing being streamed by something like Amazon in 2025. Would be the end of my watching any races. I'm sure they will miss me.

 

[LocuMob]

#9 Elliott for the pole
