#41 for the Pole. Have to keep #78 since the company I work for is a sponsor this week. Also take #88 for this week. My luck's gotta change one of these races.

 

[Budnicks]

My "locked in picks"

Kevin Harvick {as always} & Kyle Busch

{IIRC they were Harvick & Kesolowski}

"Lock in" my pole pick as Carl Edwards please too

No NASCAR race at Pocono today. NASCAR just announce the Pocono 400 is postponed until Monday morning.
Green flag around 11AM EDT (8AM PDT).
NASCAR says they need 3 hours to dry the track and they won't have enough time and daylight to dry the track and get the entire race in today.

 

[ocdart]

OK, everyone who picked #34 Chris Buescher for the Pocono win SHOUT OUT!!!






















I hear crickets...

 

[Budnicks]

.

 

[Riverdawg]

Who..... What......

 

[ocdart]

Congratulations to........, uh, nobody!
For the first time that I remember, nobody picked either the race winner or runner-up (...and I won't tell anybody about the two players who usually have #2 Brad Keselowski "locked in" but decided to change to another driver this week).
'Budnicks' (FBBO) had the low net score of the week with 6.5 points.

Next week we'll be on the road course at Watkins Glen International for the Cheez-It 355 at the Glen. As always, your race pics must be posted prior to the start of the race. The Green Flag is scheduled for 2:46PM EDT (11:46AM PDT) on Sunday, August 7.

There will not be any last-minute reminders to post your picks because I will be at our Inland Mopars Car Club's monthly meeting and our annual summer picnic. I will not have any access to a television to verify when the green flag flies so the official cutoff time will be the scheduled green flag time.

Good luck all!
