are you gettin’ the hang of this yet?

Race one is done. Twelve to go in the One and Done Spring Thing - the first of three games in the 2009 One and Done seasons. This game goes through the race at Dover. We’ll pass out the prizes, cinch those belts back up and do it again for thirteen more races. We’ll hand out more prizes and then play the grand finale - the Chase for the One and Done Cup.

So tell your friends to sign up. After all, you’re a veteran at this now.

race 2: auto club 500

Mark Martin was the most popular pick in week one. Fully 17 players took the veteran. That front row starting position may have convinced some that Martin was the man finally, at Daytona. Lots of you liked Jeff Gordon too.

But nobody had the 500 winner Matt Kenseth. So the One and Done points leaders this week were the three players who chose Kevin Harvick. Nicely done.

Lets talk prizes. 

You all should know that the winner of the One and Done Spring Thing will receive a Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure package, good at several NASCAR tracks, including Talladega Superspeedway. You can read the experience of one of our past winners at that track right here.

The top ten finishers will win prizes in each game. I will have the details on those other prizes finalized this week. I think you’ll be happy with the possibilities. Stay tuned.

We’re also considering having a weekly prize, so that new players or players who miss making a pick for whatever reason, will still have a chance to win something. If we do the weekly award, it will be determined via the random drawing method.

Every week we’ll ask a few folks from around the NASCAR internet community to share who they think would be a good pick for the next race.
Fancy Clance’ of Church of the Great Oval sees Smoke in the future saying “I am calling Tony Stewart. His Astro-Aspects for the day are full of Uranus, Mars and Trines, which signify quick thinking, agression and balance in all.
OK. OnPitRow photo-jockey BethAnne likes Kyle Busch. “He won the Nationwide race last summer and the Truck race in the spring. His racing this year has been strong. The time is right for him to add the Cup race to his list.
NASCAR Bits’ Bruce thinks this is easy…”This is an easy one. Jimmy Johnson OWNS this track. With finishing positions of 1,2,1,3,11 & 2 in his last few races, they’ve got a top three locked up.”
The Catfish - Matt Mercer - likes AJ Allmendinger…”best to go ahead and ride the momentum of AJ’s 3rd place run at Daytona this week. ‘Dinger’s from the west coast, runs well on bigger tracks, and could very well contend for another top finish. He’s my pick of the week.”

Our Scottish Racer pal Bram likes McMurray. I think. “I like Jamie McMurray as a dark horse here..and something tells me to watch for the better finish from Allmendinger..seeking sponsorship after a humbling off-season tends to boost one’s abilities..if you get my drift.”
