Yes, Casey is Rick's nephew.

Kool Uncle Rick was racing an Unlimited Single Seater when I was desert racing. Their hot rod had a re-purposed Sprint Car wing on it with MEARS GANG graphic on it.

Corrected - see post #298. Also, post race inspection found #43 Eric Jones car to be too light and he was disqualified, dropping him to a 38th place finish and also moving several other cars up in the race finish.

Congratulations to current game leader 'cuda20' (FABO) for correctly picking the race-winner, #11 Denny Hamlin, and grabbing -5 bonus points.

No one picked the race runner-up, #20 Christopher Bell, so no race runner-up bonus points awarded this week.

'cuda20' (FABO) had the low net score honor for the week with -5.0 points

#22 Joey Logano was the race leader at the end of Stage 1, #48 Alex Bowman was in 2nd.
#11 Denny Hamlin was the race leader at the end of Stage 2, #9 Chase Elliott was in 2nd.

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 #) (Stage bonus points) (race pick car #) (Stage 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 Goodyear 400 at "The Lady In Black", Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina, posted before the green flag drops at approximately 3:15 PM EDT (12:15 PM PDT) on Sunday, April 6.
There is one practice session scheduled before Cup qualifying. Your Pole Pick for Darlington will need to be posted before qualifying starts at 1:40 PM EDT (10:40 AM PDT) on Saturday, April 5.
