Nice to finally pick a winner!

[Optional]

Fingers crossed we get 2 more first time winners for the last 2 races.

(Haven't double checked, but think it's just CarolinaDaze, Dew and I that haven't had a win yet)

Standings After Race 9 - Phoenix

A solid week from Hawk sees him just about wrap up the title with a 4 point lead over his only competition, Soxwin1917. The battle for minor placings is still hot though! And Avssakic can still take the title for most winners picked, despite being pretty much out of the running for a prize.

Thanks for playing everyone, particularly you guys who stuck it out without a weekly win, it made the races a bit more fun for me.

Lets do it again next year!

[soxwin1917]

Thanks for running this, Opti. You made the end of this Nascar season a lot of fun.

[onlooker]

Thanks again Opt.

Sorry to bump you out of placing. I really thought I was toast when I went those two weeks with only 1 win. This was really fun, and look forward to it next year. Along with the weekly contest.
