Roger's fantasy picks contest
Think you can pick weekly NASCAR Sprint Cup race winners better than Michigan International Speedway President Roger Curtis? Here’s your opportunity…
Every week, Curtis’ pick of the week podcast will showcase his driver pick for that weekend’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. Curtis will try to pick the winner for all 36 Sprint Cup Series races in 2011.
Fans can participate by filling out the form on the right each week and choosing their pick for that weekend’s race. Submissions must be received by at least one hour prior to the start of that weekend’s race. Fans that chose the winning driver will be entered into a pool to win an MIS merchandise prize for that week. A fan will then be randomly selected from the pool of contestants who correctly picked the winner and posted on MISpeedway.com/rogerpickem.
At the end of the season, fans that have picked the winning driver at least once will be entered to win a grand prize with one winner receiving four (4) NASCAR Sprint Cup Series tickets (either June or August), four (4) Saturday tickets, four (4) pre-race pit passes, four (4) cold garage passes and access to Gatorade Victory Lane following the Sunday Sprint Cup Series race for the 2012 season at MIS.
It’s that easy.
So enter your pick each week and see how you fare against the MIS president!
