In previous years, the NASCAR Pick 'Em game, in its "Driver Used" spreadsheet, has utilized a color-coded breakdown of driver groups based upon the distribution of drivers as per the Driver Group Game.

However, the Driver Group Game has ceased operation upon the conclusion of the 2024 race season, thereby ending the use of the game's distribution of drivers.

Which leaves game management with the following conundrum, that is whether to utilize a method to group drivers on the "Drivers Used" spreadsheet or simply list them alphabetically.

These are the two options being considered:

Alphabetical listing

If you intend on playing the NASCAR Pick 'Em 2025 game, cast a ballot as to your spreadsheet preference.
 
Remind me, you can only pick a driver once regardless of the standings / color grouping, right? The groupings don't play any role in how the game is played?

Yes and no.

The groupings don't have a role in how the game is scored but some players have used the groupings to assist in making their driver picks.

The groupings are simply meant to subjectively indicate who the better or worse performing Cup drivers are.

The Driver Group Game, which required four driver picks per race, used those groupings to limit what drivers could be used for a particular race.

In that game, a player was limited to using one A (green) Group driver, two B (yellow) Group drivers, and one C (red) Group driver as their picks for a particular race.
 
I'll go ahead and vote for alphabetic order. The group listing really is unnecessary, since you can only use drivers once regardless.
