2024 15th Annual FABO NASCAR "Pick 'Em" Game - One More Time!!!
So how do you spell "MAYHEM"? I spell it T-A-L-L-A-D-E-G-A.
Just ask #7 Corey LaJoie who crossed the finish line of the GEICO 500 yesterday in 18th place with all four of his car's wheels rolling on the steel skin of the outside wall SAFER Barrier of the track instead of the racing surface. Just on the other side of his driver-side window net all he could see was asphalt and out of the front windscreen was the underside of the #4 of Josh Berry and the passenger side of the #41 of Ryan Preece against the roof of his car. When everything finally stopped sliding, the #7 was upside down on its roof. Typical Talladega.
No race winner bonus points were won at Talladega SuperSpeedway since nobody picked #45 Tyler Reddick for the win.
Congratulations to '44070dart' (FABO) for grabbing -3 bonus points by being the only player to pick race runner-up #6 Brad Keselowski.
'44070dart' (FABO) also had the low net score for the week with 5.5 points
#2 Austin Cindric was the race leader at the end of Stage 1, #9 Chase Elliott was in 2nd.
#22 Joey Logano was the race leader at the end of Stage 2, #2 Austin Cindric was in 2nd.

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.
