2014 Bet 'Em CupContest - Contender round 2

[NaBUru38]

Hi, folks! Welcome to the Contender round 2 of the Bet 'Em CupContest. It comprises the Kansas, Charlotte and Talladega races.

Kansas and Charlotte are cookie cutters where the top teams and drivers always stay in the front pack. But Talladega is very random, so major upsets are guaranteed.

You must pick five different drivers:

o- Round winner ($ 3,000) -
o- Race winner ($ 1,000) -
o- Top 3 ($ 300) -
o- Top 5 ($ 100) -
o- Knockout ($ 300) -

The bet rules are:

o- The Round winner is the driver leading the standings after Talladega.
o- Race winner will be awarded to drivers who win any of the three races.
o- Top 3/5 will be awarded to drivers who get a top 3/5 at any of the three races.
o- Knockout will be awarded to Chase drivers that don't qualify to the Eliminator round.

The stakes for the Contender round 2 are:

o- 4 to 1: Keselowski, Gordon, Johnson, Logano.
o- 8 to 1: Kenseth, Harvick, Earnhardt, Hamlin, Edwards, Larson, Kyle Busch.
o- 15 to 1: Biffle, Kahne, Newman, Kurt Busch, Bowyer, Menard, McMurray, Rest of the field.
