...Have Just Been Announced.

You can take a look at the full post over at Epic Carnival to get all the details.

Bloggers here at FoxSports.com HotFootLori and Frever3Fan did quite well in the competition. 

Also, I want to thank everyone who entered and all of our judges for their hard work on this contest.

Those judges are....

• Queen of the NASCAR blogosphere TallGlassOfMilk.
• Former New York Times NASCAR reporter and author of the new novel "Yellow Flag" Robert Lipsyte.
• NASCAR media critic John Daly of The Daly Planet.
• Chuxtory is on the panel.
• We also have KLValus, winner of the FoxSports/Miller Lite NASCAR Next Great Sportswriter Contest.

Does the current coverage have you steamed.

Here's a great opportunity to get it off your chest.

First off....

As of today I'm back as a fully functioning member of the NASCAR blogosphere.

The Black Flag is back and we're bringing it harder than ever with a great contest with great prizes (and of course having fun at the expense of some of NASCAR's rich and powerful sacred cows Black Flag style):

The Black Flag NASCAR Hotpass Moment Contest sponsored by DirecTV.

Here is how it works....

Submit your entry of 250 words or less on the following topic:

"The moment when ESPN/ABC made me wish I had DirecTV's NASCAR HotPass was when..."

An obvious example was when Rusty Wallace started talking about "Draft Lock". But there are so many more (you can reference the mythical "Draft Lock", but if you want to win, you need to bring so much more -- hey, you've go so much material to work with).

The judging criteria is humor, writing and creativity.

Speaking of judging....

The Black Flag has put together a great panel of five judges for this contest. Here they are:

• Queen of the NASCAR Blogosphere TallGlassOfMilk.
• Former New York Times NASCAR reporter and Author of the new novel "Yellow Flag" Robert Lipsyte.
• NASCAR Media Critic John Daly of the Daly Planet.
  
• Lugnuts Radio Madman and FoxSports.com blogger ChuxStory is on the panel.
• We also have KLValus, winner of the FoxSports/Miller Lite NASCAR Next Great Sportswriter Contest.

The judges will not know who the entrants are during the judging process.

This contest is going to be fair and balanced. No hanging chads. No ballot box stuffing. No conflicts of interest. No Sanjaya.
