NASCAR Pick 'Em 2025 - Charlotte

[pjmolo]

The deadline for submittal of drivers picks for the race at Charlotte is Sunday, May 25th, 5:00 p.m. Eastern time.

It’s about time an “A” driver does what they are supposed to do. Chloe has been in the process of writing an essay about why she thinks the “Driver’s used” rankings should be reevaluated after our “A” drivers have averaged a 23rd place finish while our “C” guys have an 11.5 average, in which I was supposed to hand deliver to the games commissioner. I told her it’s not a big deal, but me saying that just made her more angry. Hopefully this weeks result changes her perspective on the topic.

Although Chloe's essay about why she thinks the "Driver's Used" spreadsheet should be reevaluated was apparently confiscated by parties unknown prior to it being delivered, game management whole heartedly agrees with the idea of a reevaluation.

Although the "A" driver group remains unchanged, hopefully Chloe will accept, sans any type of hissy fit, the minor changes made to the "B" and "C" driver groups.

We are currently outside enjoying the weather. I told her about it and showed her the new spreadsheet. She said “meow” and got excited! Though I don’t know if it was because of the spreadsheet or because she thought it was time to play. We’ll go ahead and say she approves of the changes.

As far as the essay goes, she got tired halfway through, fell asleep while typing it and hit the “exit” key by accident, thus deleting the entire thing! Obviously she didn’t want to start over after that. It’s unfortunate, because her arguments were very convincing! Oh well!

I feel confident in my pick today, knowing that I went with the same driver as @aunty dive.

Note: I submitted my pick this past Sunday, I didn't copy @aunty dive after seeing his spoiler.

This is the one of the year when I will be rooting for Ty Gibbs.

Oh f*** of with that last pit stop penalty Reddick.

[Brentford]

Gonna lose nearly 30 points to the leader. Whoops!

These “A” drivers are burning Chloe and I’s season.

You might as well keep the same strategy next season at this point.

I am waiting for the shoe to drop...and it just hasn't yet.

Well, at least @Greg and I got that Gibbs pick out of our systems. Sort of like colonoscopy prep.

But way to go Ross on winning the race. Great pick of Chastain by @Truex_rox !

Thanks AJ! You might have put me back in the hunt!

Congratulations to @Truex_rox, the recipient of the "Highest Finishing Pick" award following the first place finish of his pick, Ross Chastain, in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Additionally, that first place pick worked to put the "Most Upward Movement" award in the hands of @Truex_rox as he gained seven spots in the standings.

So far this season, the race winner has been picked by a player in ten of the thirteen races with @Truex_rox and @ToyYoda having each done it twice.

The top of the leader board remained in possession of @kkfan91 for the sixth consecutive race as his pick of third place finisher Chase Briscoe enabled him to increase his lead over second place @Hawaii808 to 25 points.

The Top Five Club saw @Mr. E, @ken, and @RayinTX join a party that, in addition to @kkfan91 and @Hawaii808, includes @auntydive while @antman12 and @Conover found their membership to have been suspended.

In addition to @Truex_rox, another double award winner turns out to be @2 Sweet who, thanks to the last place finish of Jimmie Johnson, gathered both the "Wiping Up the Rear" award and the "Slipping and Sliding" award with a downward movement of seven spots in the standings.
