Before we get started, my heartfelt thanks to buck for taking over last year. It was a rough one. *fingers crossed* hubby and I can
get through this year with no major problems.


2012 BIG DAWG CONTEST

First, make a post indicating that you are entering the contest. I will take a max of 15 players.
Please do not sign up if you don't intend to be around for the season.

You must sign up by midnight February 14

Second, pick 3 drivers based on 2011 points

1 from 1 -- 12
1 from 13 --24
1 from 25 --35

Third, at random intervals I will put up some bonus questions --- such as
how many yellow flags will there be or who will win the pole. I may give
a pole speed and ask if the actual qualifying speed will be higher or lower.

I will not put up results until the official standings are released --- usually on Monday.
 
2011 Standings

1 --Tony Stewart
2 --Carl Edwards
3 --Kevin Harvick
4 --Matt Kenseth
5 --Brad Keselowski
6 --Jimmie Johnson
7 --Dale Earnhardt Jr.
8 --Jeff Gordon
9 --Denny Hamlin
10 --Ryan Newman
11 --Kurt Busch -- moved to #51
12 --Kyle Busch
13 --Clint Bowyer --moved to #15
14 --Kasey Kahne -- moved to #5
15 --A.J. Allmendinger -- moved to #22
16 --Greg Biffle
17 --Paul Menard
18 --Martin Truex Jr.
19 --Marcos Ambrose
20 --Jeff Burton
21 --Juan Montoya
22 --Mark Martin -- moved to #55, but NOT full-time.
23 --David Ragan -- #34
24 -- Joey Logano
25 -- Brian Vickers -- ?
26 -- Regan Smith -- moved to #78
27 -- Jamie McMurray
28 -- David Reutimann -- in #35 or #36?
29 -- Bobby Labonte
30 -- David Gilliland -- #38
31 -- Casey Mears -- #13
32 -- Dave Blaney -- #35 or #36?
33 -- Robby Gordon
34 -- Andy Lally -- not racing as far as I know
35 -- J.J. Yeley -- #38?

Some don't have rides, some are in part-time. If things change, I'll post amendments.

Since Aric Almirola is taking the #43, if you wish to pick him, that's OK. He can be a pick in the 25 - 35 section.
He's guaranteed a spot for the 1st 5 races --- hopefully, he'll stay in the top 35.

Just found out Ragan will be in #34, Gilliland in #38.

FB, I just try to divide the drivers into A, B, C groups. If I didn't, everyone would pick 3 drivers from the top 10 or so. Puts a little randomness into play.

The C group is a little weak this coming season. But, you never know.
 
I'll play again thanks for running the game btw!
Harvick
Kahne
Smith

I forget that you haven't been here for my past contests. Sorry about not being totally clear in the rules.

Your picks are for the whole season --- except in the rare case that a driver is replaced for various reasons.

You may pick the same 3 as someone else.
 
Hope I'm not to late for the Party!

Happy Harvick

Kasey Kahne

Regan Smith
 
Got my 15 players!

Now, BRING ON THE SEASON!

First bonus question(s) will be posted on Feb. 13. You must post answer(s) before the start of qualifying on Feb. 19.
