[dara]

We are past lap 41. Scoring rules for those who didn't enter today will be scored 10 pts less than the lowest total entrant's score.

[dara]

Kyle Busch wins stage 1. 10 bonus points to bigstar, crazed and Ryu,

[dara]

dang i just got home

Submit what your entries would have been. You posted before I closed the entries. I cant give you bonus points for stage 1, and will dock half of your 3rd place score, but at least you have a chance to not be 'last'. It probably won't matter too much though.

If anyone objects, though, I can't do the special scoring.

[Marley]

its ok .........

[dara]

its ok .........

No problem. As a heads up for all, there are two weekend doubleheaders (Saturday and Sunday races) in August.

Congratz to minitor for the Pool Win and Congratz to Hamlin for that Race Win...!

11 of US picked Harvick to show-up, but I don't Think 4me will bee picking Him as the Winner anytime soon... 4 Races this Season He was in the Lead at or near the end only to Fade Back and let someone else take the Flag...!!!
