I will go with the winning drivers

Keselowski
Harvick
Truex Jr

Thanks for the contest!

My edit for the order I think they will finish

Truex Jr
Keselowski
Harvick

Even though Harvick is in trouble after this week I still think he makes a run at this.

I think you may want to change a couple drivers out? Kahne and Gordon didn't make it into the chase.

Are we entering them in finish order 1-3, or if my 3rd pick gets first do I still get 5 points?

Finishing order therm.

You have Keselowski in 1st, 3rd place nets a big fat 0.

Choose wisely, grasshoppa.

So the ONLY way to score points is if your driver finishes in EXACTLY the spot you had him picked ?

In other words, (and I think this is what thermm was trying to clarify) . . .
If a driver is picked for 3rd place, but actually does better and finishes in 1st or 2nd, he gets NO points ?

I didn't realize that, if that is the case can I keep the same drivers but switch the order of them?

Correct. Edit and put them in the order they finish.

If someone picks the winner but wiffs on 2 and 3 =5 points = quality.

Wiff on the winner, score 2 and 3 = 5 points = quantity.

Playoff

Have until Friday to adjust.

Thanks for clearing it up. Everyone else probably had it you just have to clear it up for the slow one.

Sucks for Truex, I don't like the Chase for that reason. Always thought it was better when the champion was the team that gained the most points throughout the entire year

Everyone still has a dog in the hunt except shaun341.
Delta has the best possible outcome at the moment.
Remember, they must finish the standings as you picked them to get the points.....Not the race.

1 to go.

Wow! I thought we had a tie for sure. Edwards had the best car, didn't have to do that. Johnson wins #7 to tie Petty and Dale.

Instead.....WE HAVE A WINNER!!!...........mlangphi.......only 1 to pick JJ and got 2 out of 3.

Nice win!!! Send me addy and some info on you're likes and I'll get winnings out this week.

Thanks for playing everyone!! Next year will be, well,,,,,,,,,something different of course.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Go Cowboys!!! 9-1

Rick,

Received your package today after being away for a few days. A sealed box of LFD DL Maduros, a great looking Chevi hat and a Don't Mess with Texas bumper sticker. Honestly very appreciated!
