Dale Earnhardt Jr mentions reveals his pick—and it seems legit

During the latest episode of The Dale Jr. Download, Junior and Mike Davis talked in length about the rules of the Denny Hamlin Bracket Challenge. Explaining the rules, Junior said, “You go in there you create your bracket. Alright, it’s very simple, basically you put in your name, put in your email address. Points are gonna be given for correct picks and weighed by each round. Round one is 10 points; round to 20 points; round three, 30 points, and so on.

“You can watch the race, track your progress, and see how you’re going to finish second to me.

“Points are awarded per each correct winner selection. We’re starting at Kansas. All right, Kansas this weekend. If you haven’t got your bracket filled out by the time of the race, you’re done and you’re not even in it, you can’t do it. You can’t even play.

“So if you want to be a part of this, fill your s**t out before the Kansas race starts on Sunday. That’s at 3 pm Eastern, May 7. We’re going to play Kansas, Darlington, Charlotte, Gateway, and Sonoma is the final round. And pay attention! That’s a road course.”
