[alsant]

Same for last week. Pole to.

 

[Budnicks]

Like normal still hovering at the middle of the pack

let em' ride still

good luck everyone

 

[ocdart]

No Pole Pick winner this week at Richmond.
#20 Matt Kenseth on the Pole, but not in your picks.

 

[Budnicks]

Nobody mentioned, Dale Jr. is retiring ?
Wow that's a real surprise, I can't really blame the guy...
Wants to do other stuff & "I believe", he's see his mortality,
not wanting to push it, wants a somewhat normal life...

Good luck with your picks guys...
