Daytona 500

I didn't get a lot of suggestions about how to handle racing and the few I got conflicted with each other greatly. Basically, there are two schools with no clear cut majority. Those schools are that we should do more races and even some prop bets or we should do less races or no cup standings.

So the solution....I am changing nothing.

We will predict the Netel Championship (that will be the next post), the Daytona 500, the Indy 500, and the Brickyard 400.

Predict the top three drivers in order. Scoring will be as follows.

You will recieve 2 points for each of your drivers that actually finishes in the top 3. You will receive 3 "bonus" points for each driver that finishes exactly where you said they would within the top 3.

To rephrase:
15 points - 3, exactly right
10 points - 2, exactly right
9 points - 3 finishers, 1 exact
7 points - 2 finishers, 1 exact
6 points - 3 finishers, wrong spots
5 points - 1, exactly right
4 points - 2 finishers, wrong spots
2 points - 1 finisher, wrong spot

The deadline is Sunday at 1:00. Qualifying is taking place now so I am attempting to attach a link to what will eventually be a starting grid for the race.
