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

-
Damn, talk about no respect that's been a topic this year. :mad:These KIDS are wrecking everybody and anybody for 25th position with 40 laps left. I think there is some old school *** kicking needed here. Also how do you put a 90* plus turn a couple hundred yards from the starting point. :mad:Do you want people destroying $150,000 race cars for kicks. IMHO that corner where it is sucks, and makes no sense.:soapbox: .........Oh yeah,> I got the winner. < :p:) I feel better now.
 
I watched Nascar for the second time today. I am an F1 follower and was always a Raikkonen fan while at Sauber, Ferrari, Lotus and Alfa Romeo... I honestly don't know how anyone can watch that and be entertained.... some of the worst driving I've ever seen in my life. Caution flags that take 10 to 15 minutes to clear... I damn near fell asleep several times.

As far as the circuit goes... there is a German circuit designer named Hermann Tilke who has designed MANY of the modern F1 tracks including Cota. I credit him for ruining racing around the world by designing tracks built in a parking lot with curbs... The glory days of Formula one tracks are long gone.

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 Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway posted before the green flag drops at approximately 3:45 PM EDT (12:45 PM PDT) on Sunday, April 2.

Your Pole Pick for Richmond will need to be posted before qualifying starts on Saturday, April 1.
 
Tyler Redick for the pole.

Denny Hamlin and Joey Lagono for the race
 
Mother Nature wins again!
Richmond Cup practice and qualifying rained out.
