You should be able to see them tentatively if you look at your page with your picks. Or everyone's pages for that matter, but it takes a bit of work. At a minimum, they'll post by tomorrow morning.

They're up already and bjornolf WON the first race, beating me by 12 points. It's all very tight right now, but CONGRATS to Bjornolf!

Only 35 races to go!

I promise it won't happen again!

Is 278 a good point total, or did everybody else just have a bad week?

For a restrictor plate race(at the superspeedeays such as Daytona and Talladega), a reasonably good total. By the end of the season a score over 300 is usually what will win the week.

WTG!

HOWEVER, you are only allowed one win in a row, I hope someone explained that rule!

Good job, bjornolf!

So, are we past the deadline to change drivers? I don't see that option on my list.

Anyone with Travis Kvapil as a pick better change now....

As a legal aside, ESPN, it isn't a ROBBERY unless someone held up the car at gunpoint. It's a car theft, which is probably why the police are treating it as such. Robbery requires the taking of property from a person by the use or threat of force or violence.

Qualifying occurred today. The deadline took place at 5AM Pacific Time this morning. You will see the qualifying deadline on the right of the screen. You now have until race time (again, listed on the right) to choose from your collection of racers the appropriate combination. Note that RACE NOTES is an update of the PREVIEW; RACE NOTES has notes and accounts for starting position and other qualifying news.

Good "Race Day" morning!
