Good Luck to everyone.

PS this will be the last week I run the NASCAR Pool for a while. TPB will be stepping in to take the drivers seat like he did last year. Please show him the support you have showed me in the first third of the season. Also a special thanks to Toddr and Ramon-Pr for jumping in and helping as well. Without their help this pool would not be as great as it has turned out to be.

I'll still be lurking in the background to help out and will be giving your satbux each week as well, so I'll still be around.

Take care,
DD

Its hard to pick against your favorite driver, but the competition within this pool is so high anymore, you have to stay on your "A" game. Look at me, I have not won a weekly pool here for over a year plus...lol.
