Again, you must pick three drivers in the correct finishing order to earn the -5 bonus point award.
They do not have to be the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers of the main event, you just need to post your picks in the correct finishing order (example: they could be the 8th place, 12th place and 21st place finishers, as long as you list your picks in the correct finishing order).

Post your picks and GOOD LUCK!
Only 23 of the above cars will make it through to race in the 200-lap main event so make your three driver picks carefully.

@Sublime one, please post your 'Clash' picks before the Heat Races start today.

 

[ocdart]

@Avispa, are you playing the 2025 NASCAR "Pick 'Em" game this year? I really need to have a minimum of ten players.
C'mon, post up some picks for the "Clash".

 

[Sublime one]

@Sublime one, please post your 'Clash' picks before the Heat Races start today.

Logano
Larson
Blaney
And you can lock those in for my seasons picks!

Avispa inbox is full, but did send a message to Dart Doctor. @Unconventional could get out of the bleachers, and participate this year.

Thanks!
If @Avispa doesn't post "Clash" picks before the Heat races I'll just use his "Clash" picks from 2024 (Busch, Hamlin and Elliott).

 

[ocdart]

Logano
Larson
Blaney
And you can lock those in for my seasons picks!

@Sublime one, which one is your 2025 season Pole pick?
And which ones are your 2025 season race picks?

 

[Yunick13]

Starting Pole, lock in Bell.

Race picks, lock in Hamlin, and Byron.

Thank you much.

 

[Sublime one]

@Sublime one, which one is your 2025 season Pole pick?

Well welcome aboard! Since MeMike is a cousin I reckon that makes you a shirt tail cousin! Hug him for him!

Welcome to the game. You will want to lock in some driver picks to fall back on, incase you have computer/ life issues that distract you from playing each week. Label one driver for pole, and two for the race.

Proud to see you in on it this year son.

Information on tonight's qualifying race

 

[44070dart]

Fun watch last night, missed racing with this miserable winter months and health in general. A lot of banging, but I don't think any anger should carry over to the season from here. They knew going in there would be a lot of moving out of the way with each other. The track is made for that. Get it, and give it a type of night . Welcome back gentlemen, thanks OC. .. 9 pole lock .. 22 / 20 race lock for the season.

 

[ocdart]

The actual 200-lap "Clash" race may take awhile to complete if yesterdays Heat races were an example of the action we'll see in the featured race with 23 cars fighting for position! With it being so hard to pass on this short and narrow track, I bet there's going to be a bunch of hollering at the TV screen too since only two of the "Clash" "Pick 'Em" players currently have driver picks in the correct finishing order before the race.

 

[ocdart]

...and Kyle Larson (5 picks) will have to advance from starting 10th in the Last Chance Qualifier to finish in the top two of that race.

Now that I’m in the FABO family now I’ll play over here
