    Kurt Busch. I needed to do a little googling, but his name = beer, so must be good luck.

    I was reading this thread while traveling and got lost a bit. LIF is lottery it forward, correct? So what does that mean? Someone is putting up beer for others to win by some sort of lottery system? And then winner has to do their own lottery? Correct?

    Yeah. Smanson started it, I won his box. There was a tie on my segment, thebeers ceded and Smanson is going on an extended camping trip, so we talked and decided to re-open it up. ICYMI, here's Smansons original rules:

    "Okay it looks like were slowing down a bit here so I'm going to try to inject a little new fun here. I'm going to start a LIF for this thread and it's participants and any lurkers out there. I'm going to lay down some ground rules. First the box should be between 144oz's and 192oz's. The box needs to be made up of beers from the senders state only. I will allow the sender to add 1 can or bottle from outside there state. You can make up what ever you want for a contest to choose the winner of the box."

    To be eligible, you just have to be willing to ship a box that meets those requirements to whoever wins your challenge, if you win mine.

    Yes. Just be willing to ship a box if you win. Here's Smanson's rules for this one:

    "Okay it looks like were slowing down a bit here so I'm going to try to inject a little new fun here. I'm going to start a LIF for this thread and it's participants and any lurkers out there. I'm going to lay down some ground rules. First the box should be between 144oz's and 192oz's. The box needs to be made up of beers from the senders state only. I will allow the sender to add 1 can or bottle from outside there state. You can make up what ever you want for a contest to choose the winner of the box. Since I'm starting this off I get to choose the first contest."

    Pretty straight forward.

    Just double-checking, you do mean KURT Busch, and not his brother KYLE Busch, correct?

    Smoke is my boy! I've been watching him race since the USAC days. Saw him win an IRL race in New Hampshire 97-98ish. Hope he gets a few more wins on his way out the door.

    So far, 3 out of 4 Stewart-Haas Racing drivers have been selected. What, nobody has faith in Danica? :wink::stuck_out_tongue::flushed:

    Sounds like fun, but I have been trying to stay on the sidelines as much as possible (no self control is an issue) with trading until the next BIF due to unforseen budget constraints. Don't beat each other up too bad

    Yeah, this sounds like a lot of fun and I want to partake, but also I'm moving out of my NM home and basically bouncing around for a while, so hard to participate plus the budget is definitely going to be strained. Best of luck to participants.

    Yes, Kurt. ESPN seems to think he is "a value pick for Sonoma, after finishing 2nd last year"

    Going old school! Winner of the 1967 Daytona 500. Mentioned in the Charlie Daniels song "Uneasy Rider". Quite the sleeper pick.

    As of now, these are the picks:

    jhavs - Kurt Busch

    strohme2 - Smoke

    thebeers - Happy

    sammyjaxxx - Hambone


    Plenty of drivers still available. ( if I were going to offer advice, I might suggest AJ Allmendinger)
