2012 Toyota/Save Mart 350 - Sprint Cup Series

To say that we have been looking forward to this race is an understatement.

C'mon Ambrose!

I get the feeling Ambrose is going to make the chase if he wins this. He's been bad fast on ovals and he has two races in the summer that are his forte.

Even if it wins this, he'll still behind Ky. Busch, Newman and Logano, and Edwards is only 2 points behind Keselowski.

I feel Glen he's got a great shot at and if keeps his performance up on the ovals, He eventually get a win out of it and rise through the points.

Actually the highlight of the race for me today was Ambrose's awesome pass on Biffle.

I always love the two roadies on the schedule because most of my favorite drivers are so good at them. My ideal top 5 for this race would be, in no particular order, Tony Stewart, Juan Montoya, Marcos Ambrose, Robby Gordon, and Boris Said. Even better if they're all nose to tail over the final laps

Of course in real life it'll be someone like Five Time or Wild Thing winning, but I can always dream

Notes
23 and 74 arent entered
7- Robby Gordon is back
10 is TBA
30 Is on the list even though the said at the beginning of the year they werent running the roadies

I'm sure the drivers filling in the 10 and 30 cars are going to be road course experts. My guess is that Ron Fellows might be in the 10 car this weekend.

23 32 Boris Said Ford Hendrickcars.com Jack Roush

DOES NOT COMPUTE! DOES NOT COMPUTE!

Brian Simo's in the 30.

Don't be surprised if Bad Brad wins this one.

Bad Brad is Keselowski. Brad Smith isn't Bad Brad, he's just bad.

23 32 Boris Said Ford Hendrickcars.com Jack Roush

Um, what???

I know Hendrick owns a chevy team, but hendrickcars.com sells more then Chevys, so I mean I wouldn't say it's stupid, though it is kinda weird.

Let's play a roll the dice game.
Go to random.org and go over the right side of the page and hit generate (make sure it says between 1 and 100). Whatever number you get is your pick for this race. If you get a number that isn't racing then re-roll until you get a number that is racing.

>55
>Brain Vickers.

Welp, looks like I've lost.

22! AJ Allmendinger sounds like a pretty safe bet to me.

I got the 2. Rather average.

>1

Ugh. McMurray.

I got 22 and 2, but those are taken

I have 5.

20, Joey Logano

Well, that's not particularly good.

>42

Montoya? Safest bet out there

Would Ron Fellows end up in the #10?

Also Random Number Generator gave me Travis Kvapil

>34
>David Ragan

Well, I guess I lose. xD

Dice game gave me 51 - Kurt Busch.

Well im Boned.

Tomy Drissi is in the #10, since Fellows is at Road America.

I gots Jimmie Johnson, now to do Nationwide.

33, Stephen Leicht...

>38
>Gilliland

Didn't he have a decent run last year?

Should we turn this into a game, like 5 points for picking the winner, 4 points for picking 2nd, etc?

The year Montoya won he finished 2nd.

Haha beat this 88 Dale URRNHARDT JEWYNER

No, the year Kyle won Gilliland finished 2nd.

inb4 a Road Course racer runs away with it.

No me gusta.

Random number.

First off 90, then 2nd 57..............................................................................................................................................then 3rd..........................BRIAN SIMO???????????????????????

Michael McDowell has been replaced with David Mayhew.

I got 38. Hmm.

Could make it a forum game, and got 24 Jeff Gordon

it would probably be best if there only 1 user per driver. since were playing it that way.

I'll add up the points.

27

That's not that bad.

I got the 39
Ryan newman lets go!

I'd give the most points to the person who has the best finishing driver, regardless of whether or not they win. Then follow up with the person who has the next best-finishing driver, and so on.

29 - Harvick...not too terrible.

Heck, I'd just use the system NASCAR uses for the Rookie of the Year points. Best finishers score points on 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 and 0 for anyone else, then add bonus points for top 10s. A win is worth 10, 2nd is worth 9, 3rd 8, 4th 7, 5th 6, 6th 5, 7th 4, 8th 3, 9th 2, and 10th 1.

yeah we need to decide on that.
since spammerhead came up with the game, he should decide the rules, imo

>27
>Paul Menard

I'm okay with this.

>31
>Jeff Burton

Meh.

I'll make a thread in the forum games later on, and I'll do what Russki said and based points off that idea.
