So go ahead and make your picks for this week. And again, I apologize for not having a thead up two weeks ago. After this race I'll update the points. How many of you are interested in going a couple more weeks in this game?
I'll pick #11 - Denny Hamlin .. with the option to possibly change my mind within the rules of the game.
I am willing to go a couple more rounds..

Well, in hopes that both halfs of a brain picking the same driver is a good sign, I too am going to pick Tony Stewart (as if I would pick anyone else at Indy. )
WOOOOO! Sorry, I just had to get that out! I'm so happy Tony won, and not just cause I picked him this week, but because as I'm sure you're all shocked to learn, he's my favorite driver.
Luvs, I saw that and thought that would be great news for you, and Jolie! Congratz!

Haha....congrats Luvs!! Honestly I had no idea you liked Tony Stewart.

Luvs likes Tony Stewart? Gee all this time I thought it was Dale Jr.

Hey guys, I'm so sorry I forgot to do a thread for last weekend's race. I'll try to start one for this weekend's race, or if someone wants to start one for me they can, and I'll just update the scores at the end of this week and see how things go.
Again, sorry this game has gotten so off track (so to speak), I never dreamed my summer would be this busy and hectic when I started this game.
Guys, I'm SO sorry I've completely neglected this game the past few weeks! My apologies!
I you all would like to play for a few more weeks (or even one more week) just let me know and I'll try to post the thread up. I still have all your scores saved and will update them as soon as I can.
The race is scheduled to start around 1PM Eastern time on ESPN.
