2024 15th Annual FABO NASCAR "Pick 'Em" Game - One More Time!!!

Just realized Logano hasn't won a race this year. His teammates have. Kinda surprising. Chastain is in the same boat. Bowman needs to step it up as well.

Berry in the #4 car, and my old friend Brad Keselowski in the #6 car today
 
But I must admit I wish the best of luck to Joey in the 22 car
 
No congratulations this week since nobody picked either the Ally 400 race winner, #22 Joey Logano, or the race runner-up, #71 Zane Smith. No race winner or race runner-up bonus points awarded this week.

'Both 'cuda20' (FABO) and 'Yunick13' shared the low net score this week with 9.0 points each.

#20 Christopher Bell was the race leader at the end of the first stage, #11 Denny Hamlin was in 2nd.
#20 Christopher Bell was the race leader at the end of second stage, #45 Tyler Reddick was in 2nd.

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 Grant Park 165 on the street course in Chicago, IL, posted before the green flag drops at approximately 4:45 PM EDT (1:45 PM PDT) on Sunday, July 7. Any race picks or changes to previously posted race picks for this race posted after 4:45 PM EDT (1:45 PM PDT) will not be recognized.

Your Pole Pick for the Grant Park 165 will need to be posted before qualifying starts at 1:30PM EDT (10:30AM PDT) on Saturday, July 6. Any qualifying picks or changes to previously posted qualifying picks for this race posted after 1:30PM EDT (10:30AM PDT) will not be recognized.
Cup Series practice for the Grant Park 165 is scheduled for Saturday, July 6, at 12:30PM (9:30AM PDT) as shown on nascar.com.
 
FYI, I just saw an announcement that current #4 car driver Josh Berry will replace Harrison Burton in the #21 for Wood Brothers Racing in 2025. This is a result of Stewart-Haas closing after 2024.
 
This will be cool to see:

NASCAR’s wildcard weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway will feature the past and present as the Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) NASCAR Classic presented by Petty’s Garage Series joins Bank of America ROVAL™ 400 race week.

The HSR NASCAR Classic will be part of HSR’s new series featuring the growing Group 8 Historic Stock Cars division within the HSR community and competitors. Fans will be able to see some of their favorite retired stock cars back in active competition as each car in the NASCAR Classic series must meet previous NASCAR rule book specifications for Cup, Xfinity, Truck and ARCA competition.

“What better way to spice up NASCAR’s wildcard weekend than to bring some throwback race cars and put them on the ROVAL™ this October,” said Charlotte Motor Speedway President Greg Walter. “Fans will love seeing some of the old school paint schemes at Charlotte again and we’re proud to host Historic Sportscar Racing for the first time. It’s yet another reason we are America’s Home for Racing.”

On-track schedules for the Oct. 11-12 HSR NASCAR Classic at CMS will be released at a later date. The CMS event is part of a three-race series with prior events at Virginia International Raceway (Aug. 23-24) and Watkins Glen International (Sept. 13-14).

The stockcars eligible to compete in the series must carry authentic and period-correct liveries previously seen in NASCAR competition over the years. Current editions of the rules-eligible cars in each series, such as the Cup series Generation 7 chassis, are not eligible in NASCAR Classic competition. Each round will feature a maximum of 30 selected entries by HSR for each round of the 2024’s HSR NASCAR Classic presented by Petty’s Garage.

“NASCAR stock cars of all generations are perhaps the most identifiable category of race cars in the U.S. to motorsports enthusiasts, competitors and even mainstream audiences,” said HSR President Chris Ward. “The across-the-board support, and the rapid growth of the HSR Classic Stock Cars category made starting a dedicated series around the division an easy decision.”

In addition to the HSR NASCAR Classic, NASCAR’s wildcard weekend on the ROVAL™ at Charlotte Motor Speedway features the Drive for the Cure 250 presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina NASCAR Xfinity Series playoff race and the Bank of America ROVAL™ 400 NASCAR Cup Series playoff race. The ROVAL™ is the most unique track on the NASCAR circuit, combining a world-class infield road course with Charlotte Motor Speedway’s legendary oval. Drivers will battle 17 turns and a 35-foot elevation change over the 2.28-mile course with berths to the next round of the playoffs on the line in both the Xfinity and Cup Series.
