NASCAR 2023 - Bold Prediction Thread

[hmmm298]

At least no one made the prediction of a guy dying like someone did a few years ago

Maybe I should have went back to my old prediction of chase Elliott being drafted and leaving to basic training.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

At least no one made the prediction of a guy dying like someone did a few years ago

It did win two awards though: the Worst and the most tasteless prediction ever

 

[Efisher131]

Thorsport drivers excluding Hailie Deegan collect more wins in the 2023 truck series as a team than the number of top 10s scored by Hailie Deegan for the full season

Score is 1-1

There are death pools out there were you pick 25 people to die that year. If you pick someone that dies that year that it is 70 years old you get 30 points, but you really rack up if you successfully pick some one young, a 30 year old pick is worth 70 points.

You usually are only allowed to pick adults, they have to be some type of celebrity or well known you are not allowed to kill someone you picked and keep the points.

Holy moly. Not my thing to do, but people have their own ways of having fun

Dead pools

I was in one where I tried to pick guys on death row.

It didn't go over very well.

And the Thorsport drivers take a 2-1 lead

I'm well on my way to being out unless someone goes on a big run

 

[JJ_14]

@Tumbleweed has it upside down. Had he predicted "Ross Chastain will wreck at least 6 drivers" he'd easily be the winner of this contest.

That said, with the way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised to see his prediction come to fruition. It was a bold prediction that I certainly didn't think had a chance of happening, but here we are.

That wouldn’t really be that bold.

"Ross Chastain will wreck less than 6 drivers" would have been bold.

 

[Truex_rox]

Ross Chastain will wreck less than six drivers for the rest of the season.

lol

 

[JJ_14]

I feel like this thread needs a bump.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The Chicago race will not complete the scheduled distance.

Gawdam, I'm alive!

 

[Efisher131]

And the Thorsport drivers take a 2-1 lead

I’m really feeling good about mine. Had a chance to be 3-1 yesterday and that would’ve probably sealed it. Teammates wrecked each other though… and STILL finished ahead of her!

Just in case..........
Do we now consider Atlanta an intermediate or a superspeedway?

DriverAverages.com regards Atlanta as a superspeedway.

Prediction evaluation at the half-way point of the season:

 

[REBS31]

Just checked on mine, got proven wrong a few weeks ago lol

 

[Truex_rox]

I wonder if SVG may have given mine a boost…

 

[LibertyU24]

I'm hanging in there with a promising hope

 

[JJ_14]

You'd get a lot of votes if it actually happens.

 

[kkfan91]

Too bold, I didn't think we'd have as many winners as last year but I went way too low.

 

[FastLane9986]

Martin Truex Jr. will win 6 races and the championship.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Martin Truex Jr. will win 6 races and the championship.

Welcome, but predictions have to be made before the start of the season. This game was closed when the Daytona 500 started. Watch for a post early next year when predictions will be taken for the 2024 season.

I can see Red Bull possibly sponsoring a car, but I don't see it fielding a car itself.

Maybe if charters weren’t a thing. Hard for anyone to drop 20 million to get in, especially on a driver that 99% likely will only be competitive 6 races a year.

Add four more. Everyone is competitive at Daytonadega.

3-1

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The picture here will be much clearer after Saturday night.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Ty Gibbs wins the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Championship.

Unless 33 cars get disqualified tonight I'm out.

[kkfan91]

Isn't #24 wrong as Berry was announced to replace Harvick

 

[pjmolo]

Sadly, Bristol Motor Speedway doesn't sell out the September Night race...

Anybody know if the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway sold out ?

asking for a friend . . .

 

[Magicmiler]

Looked like alot of elbow room there...

 

[pjmolo]

Looked like a lot of elbow room there...

Race fans dressed as empty seats maybe ?

There can be a sell-out without everyone showing up.

 

[Magicmiler]

I've been there quite a few times. That was no sell out...
WHY would anyone buy tickets to Bristol and be a no show is beyond me..
Official word from BMS was no sell out.

Family emergency. Car trouble. Intimidating weather forecast.

 

[Greg]

I still have a chance at winning!

Burton has gerbilating at an intense rate during the intense highly exciting playoffs where every point matters.
He could still blow out his jaw rotator cuff in the heat of the moment.
