POINTS UP FROM KENTUCKY - POST YOUR PICKS FOR TEXAS O'REILLY AUTO PARTS 500 - SUNDAY, JULY 19 AT 3:00 PM ET

Sorry for the delay in posting this week - Jim2 lost his Dad last weekend and we have been dealing with the various things one must deal with - and as he was a Canadian living in Arizona at the time of his death that presents other things to deal with.

No winners at Kentucky.

We did not post picks for the All-Star Race as it is not a points race and truly didn't even think about it until it was upon us.

Points are posted below for the current standings.  We have not been able to get access for Tracy so this will be the last week she is listed on our points chart.

Post your picks for Texas below - green flag is currently scheduled for 3 pm on Sunday, July 19.

PLAYER NAME	POINTS	#wins
JIM2'S WIFE	162
JIM2	178
BADWALKER	179
BRADT	206

Congrats to Kim and Badwalker for their All-Star Race Picks...bragging rights.   I'll take #11 Denny Hamlin for Texas in the heat. Enjoy the race! Jim2

I think I am going with Martin Truex Jr this weekend at Texas.  I may change my pick but that is it for now.

Have a great weekend everyone.

My condolences to Jim2 on the loss of his father. It is a sobering moment to lose a parent, and makes you realize you can't take anything for granted. i will go with #4 Kevin Harvick. Thank you.

Chase Elliot. 
Sorry to hear about your loss Jim2!

Denny Hamlin

Chase for me please and Joey Logano for Brad
