As a reminder here's a quick explanation of what the above numbers represent:
(your score before the race) race pick car # (Stage bonus points) (race pick car #) (Stage bonus points) (race pick finish position) (race pick finish position) (race winner/runner-up bonus points) (your score after the race)
Please let me know if I show either your Pole or Race picks incorrectly or if you have any questions.

Please post your picks for the next race and let me know if you want to "lock" them in for future weeks. I will put an "L" before either your Pole pick or your race picks to show they've been "locked".
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.

Don't forget to get your picks for the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, VA, posted before the green flag drops at approximately 2:15 PM EDT (11:15 PM PDT) on Sunday, October 26.

Remember, the one-time mulligan" will not be allowed for any of the races in the Playoffs. It is gone for the remainder of the 2025 NASCAR season.
