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 #) (race pick car #) (Stage 1 bonus points) (Stage 2 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 Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube at Las Vegas Motor Speedway posted before the green flag drops at approximately 3:45 PM EST (12:45 PM PST) on Sunday, March 5.

Your Pole Pick for Las Vegas will need to be posted before qualifying starts at approximately 2:20PM EST (11:20AM PST) on Saturday, March 4.
