***DEADLINE IS SATURDAY, MAY 18th (Tomorrow) at 6pm ET***[/u]

Special note: NASCAR scheduled this race for the same weekend as What The Fur, so I (K'gra) will not be home for this weekend. This means that I'm posting the instructions and pools before I leave for Montreal and I will not be home until Monday night.

This also means that you all will be responsible for making sure that the drivers you select are actually in the races. The pools below are based off the entry lists on Jayski's website (http://www.jayski.com/news/stats/2013/story/\_/page/2013-NASCAR-Sprint-Cup-All-Star-Race\#entry) as they are listed on Wednesday. Please submit your pools as you would normally (and before the deadline Saturday night) and I will tally the scores ASAP and then we'll get the second season underway!

We’re doing a special non-points race for All-Star weekend! All FURCAR drivers/teams are welcomed to participate! This includes any new rookies who'd like to try their paw at the FURCAR division before the start of our second season in 2013!

Because of the unique format of the All-Star event, we’re going to do things a little differently.

The fan-vote pick and Showdown qualifiers are determined too close to the start of the All-Star race for us to include, so we’re going to stick with the current lineups.

Okay, here’s how it’s going to work…

We’ll have 2 pools. One for the All-Star race, and one for the Showdown qualifier.

**Pick 4 drivers from EACH pool, for a total of 8 drivers. **

Since this is a non-points race, points will be awarded by finishing position. **Low score wins. ** For example, if your drivers finished 1st, 4th, 6th, and 7th, your total score would be 18.

Combined low score for the Showdown and All-Star race wins!
