driver's list for the final 10 races will be e-mailed to all participants later today ... who we pick for final 10 races is different from what we've been doing the last 26 weeks ... beginning with sunday afternoon's race #1 of 10 from new hampshire motor speedway ... you will be picking 2 drivers ... one from the top 12 (those competing in the chase for a nascar championship) ... and one from all other drivers (those not competing in the chase) ... once you have picked a driver (chase and non-chase), that driver is eliminated from your pool of available drivers ... you can use a driver only once during the final 10 weeks.

IMPORTANT NOTE to all competitors ... in the spirit of fair play for all ... your picks MUST arrive in my e-mail BEFORE the green flag waves for each race ... all e-mails are date & time stamped ... i appreciate gamesmenship as much as anyone ... if you want your submission to be the last on the board, good luck ... but the board closes the moment the green flag is waved!

like the big boys who drive the fast cars on sundays ... our regular season has ended ... congratulations to jason for his final race come from behind win over near season long points leader justin!

so now the fun begins ... the "playoffs" ... final 10 races for big $$ ... based on final standings from first 26 weeks and bonus points for winners picked during the first 26 ... ceding for this year's scramble for $$ looks like this
