No Pole Pick winner at Kentucky.
#18 Kyle Busch will start the race from the Pole Saturday night. Don't you wish you'd picked him for the Pole?
 
Congratulations to both 'pauly v.100' (FABO) and '71dartswinger' (FABO) for hitting the "FABO Exacta" and correctly picking both the race winner, #78 Martin Truex Jr. and the race runner-up #42 Kyle Larson. Each picked up a total of -8.0 bonus points and had the low net scores for the week with -10.5 points. Outstanding picking!
There would have been a 3rd player that did the same thing if I hadn't overthought my picks this week. One of these years you'd think I'd get smart enough to stop doing that. Instead of all those bonus points, I ended up with a "Woolworth" finish with my picks - our "experienced" FABO and FBBO members will understand the "Woolworth" reference.
Congrats also to 'Back in Time' (FABO), 'cuda20' (FABO), 'kazooom' (FABO) and 'riverdawg' (FBBO) for correctly picking the race winner and getting -5.0 bonus points.
#78 Martin Truex Jr. won Stage 1 with #18 Kyle Busch coming in 2nd. The same combo won Stage 2.

Congratulations to 'fishmens67' (FABO), 'Gamedog' (FABO) and 'pauly v.100' (FABO) for correctly picking #18 Kyle Busch to win the Pole for today's race at Pocono. Each picked up -1 bonus point.
 
(08/04/17)Several changes to the point totals below - math wasn't quite right before. Sorry.

First of all, I received a PM from 'Back in Time' saying he'd been admitted to the hospital Saturday night, had very limited wifi access and just wanted to use the same race icks as he had at Indianapolis the previous week.

That turned out to be very fortunate for the game because his previous week's picks turned out to be the winner and runner-up at Pocono! I hope that helped make him feel much better.
Congratulations to both 'Back in Time' and 'Budnicks' (FBBO) for correctly picking both the race winner, #18 Kyle Busch, and race runner-up #4 Kevin Harvick. They both picked up -8.0 bonus points and had the low net scores for the week with -8.5 points. Good picking!

#18 Kyle Busch won Stage 1 with #78 Martin Truex Jr. coming in second. Stage 2 was won by #14 Clint Bowyer with #2 Brad Keselowski coming in second.
