thanks for posting it Blu!

I almost sat Mr. Gordon too (the 24 version).  But chickened out at the last minute.

Hopefully we can get more people over here posting their picks.  We are going to start a new point system for the Chase that we want lots of people to get in on.  The more people beating Mike the merrier!  LOL  Smiley

well gee...
I got booted out of LOS... but this is fun too.

Lets see if I can have any luck here this week.

Crank Em Up
Biffle
Kenseth

Sit Em Down
Earnhardt
Newman

Roll The Dice
Mears

Kinda feel Roush rules the roost at this type track...
Jr. can't pull a rabbit out of his hat again like he did at Michigan.. but he is better at tracks like this THIS years than he was last...
Mears is showing improvement (as is Riggs) it was a tossup between those two.

Is it possible to teach an old (lucky) dawg new tricks?

What are the rules and how does one play?
This sounds interesting.

What Mike and I do each week in the column is suggest 2 drivers that we think are the top choices for a win or at the very least a Top 10 finish in the race coming up (crank em up).  We also give 2 drivers that we think you shouldn't use because either they are in a slump or have a terrible record at this track (sit em down) and then last we pick one driver we think that is worth a gamble, somebody low in the points who could sneak in for a Top 10 or 15 or somebody who normally isn't good at this track but is running really well (roll the dice).

So just to play along with the column, people here post their picks and then we compare them.  I will give a little sneak preview of what's coming up: for the Chase we are going to dump the averages that we use now and go to a point system.  So that will be MUCH easier for us to score points for Mike and I and to also include you guys because we think it's great you play along too.
