    NASCAR 2019 Race 5: Fontana Auto Cub 400 Race and Contest Thread - DIECAST RACE

    THIS IS A DIECAST CONTEST RACE.
    The highest score for the race (top three picks of four per entrant) will get his choice of a diecast model. I'll post the available list later this week. If there is a tie, the highest score of the 4th pick will win, and if there is a tie after that, the earliest entry of the ties will win. There is no restriction on new entrants for this race, so if you are brand new (or at least new this season), you are qualified for the diecast.
