May 14, 200719 yr As in past years, we are doing a contest for Saturday's Nextel Cup All-Star race at Lowes Motor Speedway. Here's how it works. The race has a new format this year. There will be the Nextel Open where two scrubs...I mean top two drivers will advance to the All-Star race. The All-Star race will consist of four 20 lap segments. Here is how you can pick up bonus points for the week, which can help you get back in the thick of the chase. You get 10 points for picking the winner of the Nextel Open. Here are the drivers eligible to race in the open. Just because they are listed doesn't mean they will race. ) #84-A.J. Allmendiner [not sure, was not in top 50 in drivers points on 3/12/2007] ) #80-Aric Almirola [part time] ) #37-John Andretti [part time] ) #22-Dave Blaney ) #49-Mike Bliss ) #07-Clint Bowyer ) #4-Ward Burton ) Chad Chaffin [no Cup ride] ) #99-Carl Edwards ) ?-Bill Elliott (part time) ) #38-David Gilliland ) #7-Robby Gordon ) #66-Jeff Green ) Travis Kvapil [no Cup ride] ) #37-Kevin Lepage ) #14-Sterling Marlin ) #36-Jeremy Mayfield ) #26-Jamie McMurray ) #15-Paul Menard ) #42-Juan Montoya ) #13-Joe Nemechek ) #45-Kyle Petty ) #6-David Ragan ) #96-Tony Raines ) #00-David Reutimann ) #10-Scott Riggs ) #88-Ricky Rudd ) #19-Elliott Sadler ) #60-Boris Said (part time) ) #70-Johnny Sauter ) #21-Ken Schrader (part time) ) Brent Sherman [no Cup ride] ) #41-Reed Sorenson ) #40-David Stremme ) #1-Martin Truex Jr. ) #78-Kenny Wallace ) #09-Mike Wallace (part time) ) #55-Michael Waltrip ) #33-Scott Wimmer (part time) ) #21-Jon Wood [part time] ) #18-J.J. Yeley You get five points for picking the winner of Segment 1, Segment 2, and Segment 3. You get 15 points for picking the overall winner. That's a total of 40 points possible, which will be added to your total score. However, there will be no weekly race winner. The points are just a bonus. When making your picks, make them in order -- (Nextel Open Winner) (Segment 1 winner) (Segment 2 winner) (Segment 3 winner) Overall winner - ?? The Saturday deadline of 6pm (ET)/5pm (CT) will be used this week. Good Luck.

May 18, 200719 yr Boy, it's been one of those weeks and I thought I'd take one last glance at this and I'm glad I did. The format was the farthest thing from my mind when I made my earlier post, so this is my best guess and replaces my earlier post: Juan Montoya Jimmie Johnson Jeff Gordon Jeff Gordon Jimmie Johnson
