Below are our current playoff standings (Round of 8).  Please note that the Round of 8 is made up of 3 races: Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, and Martinsville Speedway.   Today, we expect all the playoff drivers to push hard to either win this race or gain as many points as possible by staying at the very front of the pack. Finally, a win at any of these 3 races automatically clinches that driver for the Championship 4 race at the Phoenix Raceway.

Every week the Chabdog Sports Team makes on-air picks on the show for the upcoming NASCAR race and earns points based on the following criteria:

: Anyone who picks the winning driver gets 3 points.

: Anyone who picks the 2nd place driver gets 2 points.

: Anyone who picks the 3rd place driver gets 1 point.

Lastly, if no one picks a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place driver then 1 point is awarded to the picked driver that is closest to the podium. Therefore, in our fantasy game, someone from the team always walks away with a point.

For those who are unavailable to make a pick, or do not make a pick prior to the start of the race, then that person is given the “chalk pick”.  The “chalk pick” is the poll position driver for that week’s race. This week’s “chalk pick” is Christopher Bell.

With that, let’s get ready to NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASCAR!
