Allstar voting

Does anyone know how the system works? If I set up a macro does NASCAR.com block my votes? I know the discussion came up last year. Any official answer.

So far a few times a day I'll just vote over and over for 5 minutes. Thinking about setting up a macro on my home PC while I'm at work.
Is it a waste of time and won't get counted?

I think Robbys biggest threat will be Allmendinger. NASCAR Raceday is getting behind him and trying to get votes. They did a whole segment during last weeks show on him which is crap cause his sponsor Hunt's pizza just copied everything Jim Beam did this year and last year.

The Hunt Brother's Pizza deal is for six races. Hunt Brother's Pizza business is concentrated east of the Mississippi. Hunt Brother's Pizza can't afford to buy advertising on a national network. Lastly, Domino's is the "Official Pizza Company" of NASCAR. Allmendinger has no shot unless he wins a race.

So who do you figure is going to win based on your algorithm?

With the power of the Planet - Robby.

It would be kind of cool if a sponsor (Beam, Menards, Spot) had a web app on their page that was like a macro and would vote over and over for you while you are on the page. That way when NASCAR posts the BS numbers they made up for voting it could compare results.

Yeah, I think you're right. But I will continue to vote also.

Somebody told me that you can only vote once an hour for a driver. Which might be the case, because, the first time I vote for Robby, you'll see the progress bar down on the status bar of the ie window move across the screen and then it'll say thanks for voting, but after doing it again, it'll just say thanks for voting.

Not sure, but I doubt the macro thing works anyways!
