Please check your picks. If there is a "L" before either your Pole pick or your race picks, then I've recorded your picks as "locked". If any of these are incorrect please let me know before the race at Martinsville Speedway next week.
As always, you can always make different picks each week. Your "locked" picks will always be there should you forget to post your race picks, your computer malfunctions or the site should go down temporarily.

The First Data 500 at Martinsville Speedway, the seventh race of "The Chase", is next Sunday, October 28th with the green flag flying at approximately 2:45PM EDT (11:45AM PDT).

Wild finish to this race...and not a popular one based on all the boos for the race winner after the race was over.

Congratulations to 'memike' (FABO) for being the only player to pick the race winner, #22 Joey Logano, and pick up -5 bonus points.
Nobody picked the race runner-up #11 Denny Hamlin.
'memike' (FABO) also had the low net score honors for the week with -5.0 points.
Way to go!

#11 Denny Hamlin was the race leader at the end of Stage 1 with #22 Joey Logano in second place at the end of Stage 1; same drivers but the positions were reversed at the end of Stage 2.

Congrats Budnicks. I missed the end of the race but saw the replay. Martin has lost 2 playoff races by getting hit on the last corner. I wonder how he'll be the rest of the races. No mercy?

Please check your picks. If there is a "L" before either your Pole pick or your race picks, then I've recorded your picks as "locked". If any of these are incorrect please let me know before the race at ISM Raceway next week.
As always, you can always make different picks each week. Your "locked" picks will always be there should you forget to post your race picks, your computer malfunctions or the site should go down temporarily.

The Can-Am 500 at ISM Raceway, the ninth race of "The Chase", is next Sunday, November 11th with the green flag flying at approximately 2:45PM EDT (11:45PM PDT).

I will be at the NHRA Finals on Friday and out of town the rest of the weekend after that. So your Pole picks and race picks will need to be posted before the start of both qualifying and the start of the race as noted on the television schedule. I'll check the post times on this thread to determine if any picks are posted late.
