Congratulations to 'Yunick13' (FABO), the only NASCAR "Pick 'Em" game player to correct pick #88 Shane van Gisbergen to win the Pole at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez and lead the field tomorrow. He picked up -1 bonus point.

 

[memike]

88 car SVG and T. Gibbs in his 54 car, an aggressive pair of racers I am picking for the race today, believe these two will bring me a double points day because of there racing styles

 

[Yunick13]

Para Mexico


I know nothing of the track so I just guess

Hamlin's not running. Might want to make another pick.

Hamlin's not running. Might want to make another pick.

Any Mexico picks for #11 Hamlin will get the race results for the #11 with Ryan Truex behind the wheel.

 

[Yunick13]

Will probably get run off the track: 88/5

 

[fishmens67]

5 and 9

 

[cuda20]

As a reminder here's a quick explanation of what the above numbers represent:
(your score before the race) 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 Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, PA, posted before the green flag drops at approximately 2:15 PM EDT (11:15 AM PDT) on Sunday, June 22.

Cup practice sessions and Cup qualifying schedule:
There is one practice session scheduled at 12:35 PM EDT (9:35 AM PDT) on Saturday, June 21. Your Pole Pick for The Great American Getaway 400 will need to be posted before qualifying starts at 1:45 PM EDT (10:45 AM PDT) immediately following the completion of the practice session.

Pole # 20 Bell for now, if I get to watch practice it may change

 

[cuda20]

Byron for pole

 

[ocdart]

Provisional Pocono Pole pick: #19 Chase Briscoe #9 Elliott

This could easily change following practice session.

 

[cuda20]

[44070dart]

#24 Byron, 2 tenths faster at this point, have to go with him for pole. #24 and #9 for race

 

[44070dart]

#24 Byron, 2 tenths faster at this point, have to go with him for pole. #24 and #9 for race

Of course, I made him crash by picking him

Congratulations to both 'Back in Time' (FABO) and 'Yunick13' (FABO) for correctly picking #11 Denny (new papa) Hamlin to win the Pocono Pole and lead the field around the "tricky triangle" tomorrow. They each picked up -1 bonus point.
