Just wanted to remind you guys that the groups changed after this week for Segment 3.  I listed on the frontpage of the fantasy section which drivers changed groups.

And the Chase Challenge game is now open!!  First prize wins $75 and a magazine subscription.  It's free to play...so what do you have to lose!!

Any questions etc. contact me at cami@frontstretch.com or fantasy_game@frontstretch.com

aawww You threw a monkey wrench in the works...
I been working on my picks for the last 10 races... went to make my picks,  but now see I am "locked in" to ONLY picking guys who are in the chase..??
BUMMER... I had planned on maybe picking someone like JR, Newman, or Martin...
I figured it would be more of an "open" pick.  That way more folks wouldn't have as much chance of possibly "duplicating" each others picks.
I for one really have no want to pick Bowyer, or really Truex and maybe not even Harvick....
Kinda leaves me with 9 guys for 10 races... (heck I was trying to sweep and pick all 10 winners... ROFLOL)

I see I screwed up as the rules say we'll be picking 'chase' drivers.... Oh well... My bad (again)  Embarrassed
It'll be fun to see how we all do... looking forward to it.
Hope we get a large group.

At last check I had 85 entries.  That's plus or minus a couple that had to be redone because people duplicated.  Not too shabby when we still have 2 1/2 days to go!

Chris, we can't both sweep the event!
At least I read the rules correctly the first time, so I think I'm looking good.

I like the smack-talkers heads to get really big.... makes for a better show when they explode from being whooped!!!!
LOL

Of course, this approach has yet to work in my own personal race pool.  But I gotta keep trying.  LOL

I don't know if I have enough room to list all the picks for everyone.  We're at 100 players right now.

What I was planning on doing after week 1 is listing the rankings with the player's next pick listed behind it.  So something like this after Loudon:

1.  Cami 165 (Stewart)
2.  Tom 160 (Gordon)

I will TRY to see what I can work on to get everything listed, but it might be too big of a list to have it come out semi neat.

Ah, I see.  I was assuming a page with a table. First column contains player's name, then 10 columns of car numbers to the right.  Gotta make sure Chris didn't somehow copy my picks.   Tongue Grin

No worries, was just kinda curious to see how many people ended up picking X driver at X track.  There are a couple tracks in there that one has to guess many players will pick the same driver at.

I'm looking forward to this game!
