That's the case. TimeKeeper had the best total despite not picking the race winner, because Logano won 2 stages, and was the overall point winner for the race.

Next week is Dega. Also, I'll be posting the official rules for the first diecast race, which will be the Coca-Cola 600. To be eligible, an entrant needs to have entered at least one points race before that one, and if there is a tie, it will be based on who posted their final picks first. There are 3 stages before the final, so there is a chance for more bonus points as well.

If someone else verifies my scoring, we can call this one official.

I had you with Harvick and Hamlin (and KyBusch), who both had 34. Who should I give those 4 points to? (j/k, lol)
