* standings updated for Milwaukee

Well, unfortunately an unlucky weekend for our top two in the championship, as craftygalinstl just managed to squeak in a driver that finished in the top 10, and HCN#3 was plagued by Marco's alternator...this has allowed austinthebruiser to take the lead, as well as allowing garyshell, mr_swiss, and EagleEye to close in with their excellent picks this week, separating the top 6 by 15 points!

Also, honorable mention to slorydn1, jumping in to the competition this week and making a great pick in Helio! Great to see a new entry in to the competition, and hope maybe we can slide in a couple more by season's end!

Remember, as the season closes down, and you would like to keep your picks a secret from your competitors until the close of the thread (preventing them from picking the same driver as you and not allowing you to advance past them accordingly in the standings), you can send your picks via email! (see the OP in this thread for address). Picking in the event thread itself is still fine if you so choose.

Thank you all for playing and good luck in Iowa!
