ENDED -- 2011 SCF Summer SuperUltraMega Tournament: Contest #26

[SingleDaddyof2]

This is the 26th of a series of contests that form SCF's 2011 Summer SuperUltraMega Tournament. Check out the 2011 SCF Summer SuperUltraMegaTournament Master Thread for additional SUM contests and info. Other sports and contest formats will be featured in subsequent contests. Tournament will end with the last Summer SuperUltraMega Tournament contest on September 12, (unless tiebreaker contests are necessary). The ten (or maybe more) SCF members with the most SUM points earned in these Summer SUM Tournament contests will win a prize.

Note: All points earned/won in these Summer SUMT contests will henceforth be referred to as 'SUM' points. Hopefully this will eliminate any confusion with other future references to 'points' in this tournament.

Contest #26: NASCAR Wonderful Pistachios 400 Pick 'em

On Saturday September 8th, NASCAR will be running the Wonderful Pistachios 400 out at Richmond International Speedway at 1:00 pm ET (10:00 am Pacific). For this contest, all you have to do is list 10 drivers whom you predict to be in the race's top ten finishers from the Brickyard 400 starting lineup below.

For each driver you correctly choose to finish in the top ten, you will receive one point. Your predicted drivers do not need to finish in the order you've listed. However, you can earn five bonus SUM points if the driver at the top of you list wins the race. Sample entry listing:

Flash Gordon <--- Predicted 1st place driver for five bonus points
Chevy Chase
Speed Racer
Harrison Ford
Quickdraw McGraw
Otto Partz
Race Bannon
Toy Yoda
Road Runner
Victor E. Lane

You win one SUM point for each correctly guessed driver who finished in the top ten. You will also receive five bonus points if the driver at the top of your list wins the race. There are no tiebreakers for this specific contest.

Rules:
1. Deadline to post your entry is 7:30 pm ET (4:30 am Pacific) Saturday September 10th. Contestants may choose drivers previously chosen by other contestants. Contestants may edit their entry but not after the deadline.
2. Simply reply to this thread with your guess. Do not PM me with your guess. Only one guess per member.
3. Members who violate any of these contest rules are subject to disqualification from the contest.

If the race is postponed due to rain, this contest will still be in effect until the race is finished and race winners are declared, up until September 12. If this race is otherwise cancelled, this specific contest will be cancelled.
