Well I have enjoyed this run from Alfredo - what a day he’s had. I have to turn it off now and watch the rest tonight. Hope he can keep it up front and avoid last race mayhem
 
That this game has me rooting for Ty Gibbs to drive up to the front at the end is insane. Also I'm like counting every point.
 
Better watch out though. Players might steal your idea and use it for next season. That is, of course, if they can remember the formula.
Oh the basic ones are one thing the secret lies in knowing how to base it when the drivers and tracks don't share letters.
 
Congrats guys on the good picks. I had to run with a reach pick, which was Hill, who was doing decent but kept drifting to the back late. Now just hoping to hold on to a top 5 season finish.
 
Congratulations to @kkfan91, the recipient of the "Highest Finishing Pick" award when his pick, Ty Gibbs, managed a third place finish in the YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.

After wrestling the top spot of the player's leader board from @Mr. E following the race at the Charlotte Oval, @kkfan91 has now maintained a firm grip on that position for the last three races.

And it appears that when @kkfan91 vigorously rubbed his crystal balls prior to the season as a way to fill out a spreadsheet with his pick for each race of the 2025 season, he got far better results than he could possibly have imagined.

Although @LewTheShoe lost several points relative to the leader, he took the second spot in the standings by virtue of his fifth consecutive Top Ten pick and seventh in the last eight races.

For the second consecutive race, membership in the Top Five Club took on a new member as @JJ_14 moved into third place, knocking @antman12 down a few notches, thanks to the surprising fifth place finish of his pick, Cole Custer.

Rounding out the Top Five club are @Mr. E and @Conover, both of whom fell further behind the leader due to the mediocre finishes by their picks.

After holding down a Top Ten spot in the leader board for virtually the entire season, the recent disappointing finishes by @DanicaFreak's picks have moved him far from the top spot, topped off by being handed the "Slipping and Sliding" award thanks to the 38th place finish of Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

Using the fifth place finish of Cole Custer to gain six spots, the "Most Upward Movement" award was taken by @ol'whathisname for the second consecutive race as he has now made a Top Five pick in each of the last three races that, for all practical purposes, is too little too late.

Better luck next year Bud . . .

The C- list drivers gave me some good finishes. I got a P17 from Gilliand, P13 from Haley and Gragson and now a P5 from Custer.

I'm done picking C-list drivers now.
