2023 14th Annual FABO NASCAR "Pick 'Em" Game - Here We Go Again!!!

Racing Announcements:

• From AP News this morning (08/27/23): Ryan Preece is "awake, alert, and mobile". He was hospitalized overnight for continued observation immediately following his wild crash in yesterday's Coke Zero 400. He will be evaluated again today with another update expected this afternoon
• Kurt Busch formally retired from the NASCAR Cup Series yesterday saying he's been unable to shake the lingering effects of a significant concussion suffered a year ago during a qualifying crash at Pocono. He also said he was taking prerace shots last summer just so he could move his knee and move his feet due to arthritis.

Nobody picked the Coke Zero Sugar 400 race winner #17 Chris Buescher so no bonus points this week.
Congratulations also to '44070dart' (FABO) for picking race runner-up #6 Brad Keselowski. He picked up -3 bonus points for the pick.

#19 Martin Truex Jr. was the race leader at the end of Stage 1, #20 Christopher Bell was in 2nd place.
#6 Brad Keselowski was the race leader at the end of Stage 2, #8 Kyle Busch.

'fishmens67' (FABO) had the low-net score honor for the race with 4.5 points.

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 Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway posted before the green flag drops at approximately 6:15pm EDT (3:15pm PDT) on Sunday, September 3.
Your Pole Pick for Daytona will need to be posted before qualifying starts at 1:20pm EDT (10:20am PDT) on Saturday, September 2.
