8/9: Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen

We here at The L.A. Minute are trying to bring all sorts of fun little things to do for our members. As we are a sports forum, covering all sports(while we may focus a little more on LA ) we bring to you Race Day Pick ‘em.

If you’ve ever watched Fox’s broadcast of NASCAR, they do something similar. They pick one driver, and they get whatever amount of points their racer receives in that particular race.

You can either play it safe, you can pick your favorite driver, or you can do some research, check out past finishes and track history, then make your selection.

We will be keeping standings, and at the end of the race season, we will crown a winner. Since there are 5 races until the chase, we’re going to do something kinda like NASCAR does. At the end of these next 5 races, we’ll restart the standings, but we won’t only include the top 12.

Whoever is in first will be 10 points ahead of second, second will be 5 ahead of 3rd. All the way down, and even those people who jumped in after a race or two will have a shot at being crowned NASCAR Pick ‘em Champion!

The winner will receive a forum award, and possibly even some cash. Depending on how we’re doing in that department .

Happy pickin’!
