congrats on your picks

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.

Thanks dara....

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.
