2009 NWS Race #17 (New Hamshire) Predictions Contest


Subway Jalapeno 250 powered by Coca-Cola
Daytona International Speedway



Nationwide Series qualifying: TBA


Make your predictions and get them in early.

Here's the rules:

1. You must be a signed in member in good standing. Violation of any GoTeamsGo rules will cause your active prediction to be cancelled.
2. You must pick the drivers (not cars) you think will finish in 1st and 2nd place. If you only pick one, your entry will be considered incomplete and ignored. You may make changes in your prediction until the entry deadline (see below). If you make a change and the change is not posted by the deadline, it will be ignored, your previous valid prediction will stand.
3. All entries must be posted by 5 minutes before scheduled qualifying (time & date is posted above). Should your entry be late and 1 or both picks be right, you will not receive any "Championship Points" or other awards.
4. Championship Points will be awarded as follows:
   1. 3 pts - correctly picking the 1st and 2nd place drivers
   2. 2 pts - correctly picking the 1st place driver only
   3. 1 pt - correctly picking the 2nd place driver only.
5. Additional awards include:
   1. 3 pt winners - permanent member title upgrade
   2. 2 pt winners - one month member title upgrade
   3. 1 pt winners - honorable mention.

Championship Points will be used to determine the Season NWS Predictions Champ. The top 3 at the end of the season will receive "All-Around GTG Championship" points and be eligible to compete for the end of year All-Around GTG Championship & prizes. Check the GTG Points Board thread in the General Discusson Forum for details on the All-Around contest.

Rats! All I needed was Boyer to run over some debris and I'd have had a 1-2 finish!

Did anybody hear Kyle say the 'Yota was down on horsepower? Maybe now NASCAR will remove some of the restrictions they put on the 'Yotas when they were out horsepowering the other manufacturers!?!

while you were trying to keep from falling out of your chair he said his engine guy needed to work on the engines, indicating he couldn't keep up... If JGR doesn't have the power to match RCR and RFR, then candles will be burning late into the night in the 'Yota engine shops...

They were most likely hurting on the top end power curve. I guarantee their mid range and torque numbers are very respectable, and that applies mostly to every other track but the DayDega tracks.

Beyond that, has anybody else noticed the Logano numbers this season in Nationwide? 5th in points... ok great and consistent in good equipment... but in 14 of 17 events. His numbers are strong enough to maintain a 5th in championship standings while missing 3 events. There are 10 drivers directly behind him with those 3 other starts... It leads me to wonder how much of a shuffle would there be if Sliced Bread was taking the whole loaf.

Almost forgot, contrats to jks812 for her correct 2nd place pick.

the rest of us created a great vacuum sound!!!
