Everybody pick a driver each week. Nobody picks the same guy, picking is first come first served. The thread will be posted weekly AFTER QUALIFYING. By rule, I get to pick Jeff Burton each week. Tally up the points of the driver yous pick each week and reset the field after the Richmond race. This will be a 5 week play-in to the Chase For The Cup.

This means there will only be 43 spots available in this contest. SO SIGN UP EARLY AND OFTEN(you mults yous).

Then, starting with the first Chase race at New Hampshire, the Top 12 posters shall be assigned to the driver corresponding in the NEXTEL CUP standings. They keep this driver for the duration of the Chase. The chosen 12 will also get to pick a driver out of the Chase to make things more interesting. And rack up the points for the championship.

As I said a couple of times before, I'll take Jimmie Johnson.

My bad, I didn't realize you had taken him already.

I will go with Dale Jr. then.

I'll take Joey Logano.

What???

Oh, alright, give me Carl Edwards coming from the back then.

You know me like that.

For those that watch SPEED's "NASCAR RaceDay" 2 hours before every Sprint Cup race, host John Roberts has had this thing for "The Biff" and has picked the driver of the #16 3M Ford Fusion every week until he wins. He's referring to Greg Biffle, who has raced extremely well lately for Roush/Fenway Racing, and is my pick to win Sunday's 3M Performance 400 @ Michigan International Speedway. Another guy who I also like to win Sunday, let alone finish in the top 5, is the Justin Timberlake-looking Kasey Kahne, driver of the #9 Budweiser Dodge, and a previous winner at Michigan.

Dude, can't you just say: Greg Biffle???

That's what I said...Greg Biffle, or as SPEED's John Roberts says, "The Biff".

No, actually you didn't. You added all that BS reporter fluff.

I was trying to set it up for those who don't necessarily follow NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series, let alone care for the sport in general. Greg Biffle is my pick...'Nuff said!

2nd 175 Kyle Busch - Darren-Tinley Park PickWinners holdover and man enough to admit his children make better picks than him, they should charge a C-note a month. Full dispensation allowed.
