RE: Calling all NASCAR fans!! Pocono Five & Five Contest!!

[labontefan]

 
Since some of you expressed an interest let s give it a try. First of all, here are the rules:
 
 1) Pick the drivers you think will be the top 5 qualifiers in order.
 
 2) Pick the drivers you think will finish in the top 5 in the race, in order.
 
 3) Points are awarded for both sets of picks, based on where your drivers start or finish. For example, picking the pole winner (regardless of where he starts) is worth 43 points, 2nd place qualifier is 42 points, and on down. Race points are scored the same way: Race winner is worth 43 points, 2nd place=42 points, etc.
 
 4) Correctly picking the race winner or the pole winner earns a 2-point bonus. Correctly picking both the pole winner and the race winner earns a 5-point bonus.
 
 5) Any other exact pick also earns a bonus. The first exact pick in either category (Qualifying or Race) earns 1 point, the second earns 2, etc.
 
 6) Bonus questions will be posted which can earn additional points.
 
 7) A cumulative points total will be kept for the entire season so we can have a " 5&5 Points Champion."
 
  The contest will be posted by Wednesday prior to each race.
 
 9 ) Contest closes when qualifying starts.
 
 Don t worry too much about the scoring! I m the only one who really has to understand that. All YOU need to do is make your picks and answer the bonus question!

And now the contest...
 
 This week the NASCAR traveling road show is headed for the Bermuda Triangle of racing--Pocono! According to the drivers and crew chiefs, figuring out the proper set up for the three-turned track is almost as hard as explaining the happenings in the Bermuda Triangle.  []
 
 Who will do the best job of solving the mystery this week? Who will be the top five starters and finishers in the land of honeymoon suites and heart-shaped bathtubs?
 
 Bonus question: How many of the top 10 drivers in points (prior to the race) will finish in the top 10 in the race?
