My mistake creek...i am sorry. I gave you 42 for Keselowski instead of 47. I will make that adjustment and repost in the leader board.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Actually I did the same for bimmerguy as well. He actually finished with 318 and creekbug 286. I will adjust the leaderboard points in the morning.

POINT CORRECTION FOR KENTUCKY

Ok guys I messed up a little on 3 players scores. It changed the landscape slightly. Bimmerguy finished with 318, Rolling Stone finished 2nd with 291 and creekbug 3rd with 286.

What happened was when I entered the scores I entered 42 points for the #2 car for the 3 listed above instead of 47 points. It was a careless error and I apologize for the mixup. Thanks creekbug for bringing it to my attention and I will be a little more cautious.

Thanks guys
