PLEASE NOTE: Be careful making your predictions. Several times already this year someone has listed the same driver twice and therefore received no points for that driver. I'm not always able to monitor and look through early enough in advance to allow you to fix it. The same rule applies for drivers that have a name similar to another driver in the race, make sure that which driver you are choosing is specified appropriately.
As you know, there are several ways people post their predictions. Some do just the driver names, some do just the numbers, some do both. I recommend doing both since that gives me a 2nd thing to go off of in case there is an error of some sort. For example, if someone lists "Busch" in the 18, I'm able to then understand that you are looking for Kyle Busch, not Kurt. Of course, listing the numbers with the names has its own issues. Such as listing Chase Elliott in the 24. In this case, I would use Chase Elliott and not William Byron. Let's say for an Xfinity Series race, someone lists Kyle Busch in the 18 but he isn't running that week. Then I will take which driver is in the 18 as it is clear that the #18 team was intended to be selected. I cannot do that if no number is listed with Kyle Busch. Either way, please look at the entry lists that I post in the comments of every blog/thread. The lists are there to help you, so please use them.
Major shoutout to Beef who has been bringing a new definition to the word Harvick-ing. He has now won multiple races in both Cup and Xfinity Series and his worst non-restrictor plate finish in Xfinity is 2nd. He sends a message to all that he's the guy to beat so far in 2018.
This week the Cup and Xfinity Series head to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. The Truck Series have the week off again and will return next week for Martinsville. We also would like to welcome #4 Jimmie48fan to the game!

As you know, there are several ways people post their predictions. Some do just the driver names, some do just the numbers, some do both. I recommend doing both since that gives me a 2nd thing to go off of in case there is an error of some sort. For example, if someone lists "Busch" in the 18, I'm able to then understand that you are looking for Kyle Busch, not Kurt. Of course, listing the numbers with the names has its own issues. Such as listing Chase Elliott in the 24. In this case, I would use Chase Elliott and not William Byron. Let's say for an Xfinity Series race, someone lists Kyle Busch in the 18 but he isn't running that week. Then I will take which driver is in the 18 as it is clear that the #18 team was intended to be selected. I cannot do that if no number is listed with Kyle Busch. Either way, please look at the entry lists that I post in the comments of every blog/thread. The lists are there to help you, so please use them.
Major shoutout to Beef who has been bringing a new definition to the word Harvick-ing. He has now won multiple races in both Cup and Xfinity Series and his worst non-restrictor plate finish in Xfinity is 2nd. He sends a message to all that he's the guy to beat so far in 2018.
This week the Cup and Xfinity Series head to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. The Truck Series have the week off again and will return next week for Martinsville. We also would like to welcome #4 Jimmie48fan to the game!
