Final Three Challenge: Gears and Gowns

PART ONE: Daytona 500

Rank 10 racers from No. 1 to No. 10 that are in the field for the Daytona 500.

You will receive 10 times the points for the finish of the racer you but at No.1, nine times for 2, 8 for 3, etc., etc. 

So, if you choose Danica Patrick No. 1 and she finishes 12th, that's 120.

Lowest score wins.

I tell ya, what a great NASCAR mind!

With the Ang Lee win, it is tied. 

April and Rebel win the tiebreaker.

So, if Argo wins Best Picture then Ghutton and Horvie move on. If anything else wins, April and Rebel move on.
2/24/2013 11:37 PM
So with that, Ghutton and Horvie escape.
