#1 Jamie McMurray is a Tier 2 driver....you will need to pick another Tier one driver, or you will be credited with the lowest finishing Tier 1 driver.

[brotherstores]

LMAO....

Jimmy crashed and burned :yeaah:

I knew there was a reason I did not pick him this week!!!!

I guess we know who pandr's other pick will be :tehe: (just kiddin)

[Night Prowler]

Did Carl Edwards make the race?......I haven't heard his name once....:D

[brotherstores]

Did Carl Edwards make the race?......I haven't heard his name once....:D

He has been having troubles all night long......ill handling car, and they mentioned something about rear axle problems.

[brotherstores]

OK!!!!

Labonte has wiped out three times already.

Here at the local dirt track, you wreck once you go to the back, wreck twice your off of the track.

This dip$hit needs to take it home, and retire.

[Night Prowler]

a tough track to pick anyone.....:tehe:

there is no way you want a caution......bunch them up and they start wrecking...

[brotherstores]

there is no way you want a caution......bunch them up and they start wrecking...

Sure we do....18 Kyle Busch can crash all by himself, and that will give 56 Truex Jr. the caution he needs, and get Busch out of the top 10!!

[brotherstores]

Leaders are in traffic now.....WE NEED A CAUTION!!!

[brotherstores]

Leaders are in traffic now.....WE NEED A CAUTION!!!

Oh wait....that won't happen now, because NASCAR's favorite poster boy is not in second place to give him the winning advantage.

[Night Prowler]

You already qualified for the All-Star race....what else do you want :noidea: :D

I need the points......Q-man kicking my butt.......:D

Gotta stop playing that beer pong......:lol:

[brotherstores]

Well folks, for the first time ever, we have a tie for first place.

Here is the rule in regards to tie breakers....


11) The person with the most total points that week will be crowned the weekly winner. As previousy mentioned, in the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be determined by the person who has picked the closest lap (under or over) the first caution flag was thown.

The first caution flag for the Showtime Southern 500 was lap 45 (taken from NASCAR's website). The two that have tied choose lap 18 and lap 10. According to the rules the person that choose lap 18 would be deemed the winner....BUT since I am feeling good, and this is for fun this is what we are going to do....

#1 The actual winner (person who chose lap 18) will be credited with the 25 bonus points for the chase when we reset the points.

#2 The other winner (person who chose lap 10) will be credited with qualifing for the All-Star race here in a few weeks.

#3 Both winners will be credited with the title change for the week, as well as being credited in the weekly winners thread.

So with all that in mind, congrats to...

???? ?????? and publicraven for winning this week.
