yes! Brad K's win has put me into contention again

[ryan29]

Can I pick rain as the winner tonight?

[Donnie_87]

Only if you pick Tony Rain.

[ryan29]

Dang went out on a limb with Gordon and it paid off!

[battalionfan888]

THANK YOU MERCY.

I had a near 400 point lead at the top of the standings after Loudon in July.
Since then I've had about 1 top 15 finish, been a TERRIBLE August.

2nd place today ill take it!

[ElvisOnFire]

Hoping hoping hoping that Brad K's 6th gets me into the chase. I have a feeling that I'm gonna be sweating this one out. Who to pick? Who to pick?

I gotta make up NINE POINTS! NINE!!

Forget NASCAR's 14 guys mathematically fighting for the last 4 spots in the Chase, there's still 26 guys fighting for 15 spots in this Chase!

[MacAttack]

Man. This is gonna be a close week for the Chase. Gonna have to be really careful who we pick....

[Phathead]

I will do my best to get the Chase standings posted by Sunday morning.

Had to change my formatting and formulas this year, so I have to make a new spreadsheet yet. Hopefully it'll go smoothly.

And remember, you can PM picks if needed.

I feel comfortable that I'm in, but after a great start this season I haven't been able to pick anyone that runs well for a while.

I hear ya, I was having an awesome season, but all the races between Loudon and Atlanta were a total disaster for me, but now that I am locked into the chase none of that matters too much now.

[beanboy89]

Nice. Moved up to 11th in points after Atlanta.

[Smokey420]

What a rough year, oh well, I've been making a few good picks lately. Best of luck to those in the Chase!

[S_Gibson]

3rd place, what a leap for one race. 5 wins helped a bit I guess. Don't feel bad Smokey420, I didn't make the chase the year after I won it either.

[Deano]

These Saturday night races are killing me...... I thought the race was tomorrow.


Come to think of it, I think I missed this very same event last year.

[74Cuda]

Hmmm....something doesn't look right Phat.

Hey Deano....you want me to call you for these Saturday races?

[Smokey420]

Yeah, just one of those deals I guess. This season has been wild with all the first time winners and that sorta stuff, great season of racing though.

[Mike_60]

First year I've missed the chase since 2008. Oh well we'll see what happens, maybe i'll get some momentum built up for a run at it again in 2012 lol
