Don't everybody jump all over this thread at once!

Last week I sucked with my picks, or I was unhappy with the way things rolled out anyway. This week, Junior sucks and he knows it. Not a happy camp over there. Jimmie Johnson is a pain in my ***. Sure has turned into a 3 car race it would appear - JJ, Martin and Peblo. All 3 are nearly perfect out there now. Peblo didn't have the points coming into the Chase to catch 2 perfect drivers. Now we got JJ & Martin on the pole - both look so sharp. I still think Peblo buckles first. Then Jimmie. I'm wishing. Jimmie won't buckle at the last race at Lowe's Motor Speedway (it's going to be called Charlotte again next year - the Lowe's deal is off). I usually like to throw something less predictable out there for picks, but since no one has picked anything, I'll take the easy road:

1. Mark Martin
2. Jimmie Johnson
3. Megatron

First caution: Robbie Gordon
# of cautions: 11
Last place: Mike Bliss

Last week, my wife correctly picked the winner and last place. I blamed her for Jimmie beating Martin and denied her sex since. Her picks don't count anyway because nothing was in writing, but I may post picks for her later. But not if she's picking Jimmie

 

I edited my 3rd pick 15 minutes before the race began to address the Good vs. Evil Transformer angle (Newman vs. Gordon). Gordon will defeat Newman. Anyone else want in?

My wife's picks:
1. Tony Stewart
2. Jimmie Johnson
3. Kurt Busch

First caution: Reed Sorenson
# of cautions: 13
Last place: Brian Vickers

Her picks are now final. Sounds like someone doesn't want to get laid.

 

Paid absolutly no attention this week but shoot its not for money... is it?!?!

1. Tony Stewart
2. Kyle Busch
3. Jimmie Johnson

1st Caution: Mike Bliss Though the Biffle/Lagano factor could come up again.
Cautions: 10
Last: Mike Bliss

 

#1 Mark Martin
#2 Jimmie Johnson
#3 Jaun Pablo Montoya
#4 Jeff Gordon
#5 Tony Stewart

Last place and 1st caution both
Sam Hornish (I cheated on the 1st caution)

 

[quote=RocknSS04;170182Last place and 1st caution both
Sam Hornish (I cheated on the 1st caution)[/quote]

If I knew we could do that I would have waited until 1AM to make my picks! :p

 

to be totally honest here, i give up on NASCAR. it is a sad day, but i really can't stand it anymore, jimmie johnson will win what, 4 championships in a row and mark martin will come up short again!! since kevin and dale jr have fallen off the pace i have pretty much givin up!! ever since the INTIMIDATOR passed away, it will never be the same. i can honestly say, i give up on nascar....


#3 forever
