2015 6th Annual FABO NASCAR "Pick 'Em" Game - Here We Go Racing Again!!!

[ocdart]

No comment on the race today because I didn't see any of it. Our power went out just before the race started - lost a transformer on the next street over that took out power to 80 homes in our area.
Not a good time for it either because it was 93F here today with no power, no AC and no TV. Luckily we're less than an hour from the beach so the wife and I took a drive down to Newport Beach and walked along the beach, watched the body surfers at the "Wedge" for a bit, and then watched all the rich people come cruisin' back into Newport in their big ol' "toysS. Much cooler at 79F there.
Congratulations to 'Dart_Doctor' (FABO) for having the race winner, #20 Matt Kenseth as one of his "locked-in" picks. He picked up -5 bonus points for that.
And congrats also to 'Mopar Momma' (FABO) who, once again, had her loyalty pay off with her "locked-in" pick of #11 Denny Hamlin come in as the race runner-up. She picked up -3 bonus points for that and also had the low-net score for the week for the second week in a row - this time with a score of 3.0. Great picking!

Dover race should be a great race for Harvick,
it's a must win basically now, after running out of fuel,
losing some 20pt/spots in the race...

I'm sticking with my "Locked in" picks
try Kurt Busch for the pole

good luck everyone

 

[ocdart]

Dover qualifying was rained out. Kenseth on the Pole for Sunday's race based on points.

Didn't see the race again today because I was at the 25th annual Veteran's Memorial Car Show in Loma Linda, CA, today with my Inland Mopars Car Club. Only comment on the race that I have is it would have turned out a lot better if I hadn't forgotten to post my own picks!
