Wow, what can you say about that race. Postponed from a night race to an afternoon race. Slick track, massive big ones, a roll-over and the 43 in winners circle for the first time since 1999 and ironically 30 years to the weekend since Petty's 200th and final win. Unfortunately, rain finally halted the race 48 laps from the original 160, and handed Almirola the win. Lots of good cars were involved in two separate wrecks and left some low income teams scrapping it up out front.
That it is it though for the first half and thanks to those wrecks, Brian and Mark had pretty crappy weeks and allowed the field to close up some. Picking will be on Friday the 11th at 6:00 via group text. Colleen will be picking first, followed by John, Gary, myself, James, Mark then Brian. Have the standings ready to go in front of you so we can make this as painless as possible.
Congratulations to Colleen, who hangs in there to win the first half pool, by a hefty margin over me. Mark with a big run, claims 3rd and new-comer Rich S takes the final money spot.
Anyone who wishes to get in the half pool for the second half needs to have their completed picks in by the 12th. No entries accepted after that, especially incomplete picks. I only have four entries so far (and that includes myself). If I don't many more, there will be no half pool for the second half.
Thank you to all who entered and good luck next half,
Paul
