o- Polesitting driver ($ 300): Johnson (4 to 1)
o- Polesitting brand ($ 100): Chevrolet (3 to 1)
o- Winning driver ($ 1,000): Johnson (4 to 1)
o- Winning brand ($ 500): Chevrolet (3 to 1)

Fieldodreams79 picked Johnson for the pole and earned 1,200. Gomick and Fieldodreams79 earned $ 300 for picking Chevrolet for the pole. Nobody picked Johnson for the win or any finishing position. Fire got $ 1,500 for choosing Chevrolet for the win. Fire also cashed $ 2,000 for picking Bowyer for the top 5 and $ 300 for choosing Biffle for the top 10. Meanwhile, NaBUru38 and Fieldofdreams79 earned $ 2,500 for picking the rest of the grid for the top 10 (three drivers did that).

Here's the 2012 Bet 'Em CupContest results at Martinsville round 7:

1st - Fieldofdreams79: 1,200 + 300 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2,500 = 4,000
2nd - Fire: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,500 + 2,000 + 300 = 3,800
3rd - NaBUru38: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2,500 = 2,500
4th - Gomick: 0 + 300 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 300

Fieldofdreams79 narrowly beat Fire for the win. Fire could have triumphed had he kept the rest of the grid bet for the top 5.

Standings of the 2012 Bet 'Em CupContest after round 7:

1st - Fieldodreams79: $ 34,550
2nd - NaBUru38: $ 16,350
3rd - Gomick: $ 14,300
4th - Fire: $ 7,000
5th - JHamilton: $ 0

I've pulled a gap to Gomick, but Fieldodreams79 still dominates the earnings.
