NASCAR FANS - Pick Your Top 5 For the DAYTONA 500 (by Thursday)

[ToriLammy]

It's time for the official start of our weekly game. Here are the rules:

1. Pick the 5 drivers you think will finish the best in the race
2. Pick one spare driver in the event one of your five either doesn't qualify or for some other reason (illness,etc) doesn't run in the race.
3. Picks must be in before qualifying starts.
4. You can change your picks up until the start of qualifying.

After the race I will average out how your 5 drivers finished and post the scores. The person with the lowest overall finish wins - you just win the admiration of your fellow NASCAR fans and bragging rights until the next race - but this is all just for fun (for now anyway)

This week for the Daytona 500 starting positions are determined by 2 things, today's qualifying event determines the front row - the pole and the outside pole. Everyone else is just qualifying for their starting position in the Gatorade 125 races to be held on Thursday, Feb 12th. Your picks must be in by Thursday at 1PM EST.

I'll start with my picks:

1. 24 - J. Gordon (alway #1 with me)
2. 2 - R. Wallace (Really needs to win)
3. 38 - E. Sadler (Black and White car really fast)
4. 15 - M. Waltrip (DH's favorite)
5. 01 - J. Nemecheck (Driving an Army car on the Weekend my BIL returns from a year in IRAQ - plus I like Joe)

Spare - 97 - K. Busch

If you have any questions or comments please PM me or post them here.

Good luck everyone, the season has begun!

Good luck everyone and I'll be really really happy if Stewart wins the 500 and I lose this game but I just don't think so. Anyway at least I won't be jinxing him by putting him in my top 5 and he's GOING to win the Brickyard this year

A respectable 3rd place finish in the practice race even picking the shootout winner! Something must be terribly wrong! OK, back into the groove with these picks:

1) #8 Dale Earnhardt Jr. (just missed the front row)

2) #15 Michael Waltrip (DEI sweep)

3) #18 Bobby Labonte (If he hooks up with the DEI cars...Look out!)

4) #88 Dale Jarrett (UPS will deliver in Daletona)

5) #40 Sterling Marlin ( return to glory in 2004)

Spare will be #24 Jeff Gordon

I heard about that, how sad. I just don't understand how this driver did not see this worker...
