Good luck in the race guys

Finally! Here are the results from Las Vegas!

Sorry for the delay, but FBBO was down for awhile on Sunday and it took a couple of days before I was able to access the game thread over there. I had to verify if all the FBBO players made their race picks in time.

Congratulations to 'memike' (FABO) '73AbodEE' (FABO) - they were sharing the crystal ball last week - for hitting the "Pick 'Em" exacta and correctly picking both race winner #2 Brad Keselowski (-5 bonus points) and race runner-up #22 Joey Logano (-3 bonus points). They each had the low-net scores of the week with -6.5 points. Outstanding!
Congrats also to 'Budnicks' (FBBO), 'fishmens68 Sr' (FABO) and Snake (FABO) for also picking the race runner-up and each getting -3 bonus points.

[Riverdawg]

Good job Budnicks. Guess I didn't specify my Atlanta pics as locked in. [emoji35]

So lets lock in Earnhardt #88 & Martin Truex Jr. for the races for now. I'll take Joey legano for the pole this week. Thanks Ken aka Riverdawg

 

[WP29440SE]

48 for the pole

 

[ocdart]

Kyle and Kurt for the win

Now that was an exciting finish! Bumping and banging all the way to the finish line with 0.01 difference at the finish line. Outstanding!

- - - Updated - - -

No reminders if you don't get your race picks posted before the green flag at Fontana next Sunday!
The scheduled race start time of 3:46PM EDT (12:46PDT) will be the cutoff time for posting race picks.
There will also be a delay in posting the results after the race.
Why?
Because I'm leaving for MATS in Las Vegas on Thursday morning and won't be home until late Sunday night and then back to work Monday morning.
I'll do the race recap and post results as soon as I can get to it.
Good luck all!

[Riverdawg]

Good job on picking the winner Budnicks and all you A-body people. Thanks for running this ocdart.

 

[ocdart]

All of the top ten finishers at Texas were picked in our game this week - and a few outside of the top ten. Good picking all.

Congratulations to 'Budnicks' (FBBO), 'cuda20' (FABO), 'Dart_doctorSr' (FABO) and 'fishmens68 Sr' (FABO) for correctly picking race winner #18 Kyle Busch again this week for the Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. The each picked up the -5 bonus points that go along with picking the race winner.
'Budnicks' and 'fishmens68 Sr' both had low net race scores for the week of -3.0.
Congratulations also to 'MoparDaddy' (FABO), 'Snake' (FABO) and 'stroked340' (FABO) for picking race runner-up #88 Dale Earnhardt Jr.

As mentioned in my earlier post, For B-Bodies Only was shut down part of the day yesterday for site maintenance. Since 'Riverdawg' may have been unable to post updated race picks, I carried over his picks from the previous week's race.

Also, WELCOME to new game player '44070dart' (FABO). Per game rules, he started off with 206.0 points since he is starting after a few races. But he looks like a serious player since his point total for this week's race was only 4.5.
