The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series makes its one and only visit to The Granite State this weekend as the Foxwoods 301 will be held Sunday afternoon at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. By the way, the "301" refers to the number of laps run, which equates to about 318.5 miles.

In a runaway, Matt Kenseth is this week's most popular driver as he was selected by nine players. That makes Kenseth the second most popular driver in a given week, second only to Danica Patrick who was selected by 16 players for the Daytona 500.

This week's next most popular driver is Daniel Suarez, who was selected by four players.

Players tended to gravitate towards "A list" and "B list" drivers this week as only one player selected a "C list" driver.

Also, one player failed to make a pick this week, making it eight races in a row that at least one player has failed to make a pick.
Good luck to all and thanks for participating.

It’s far too late for me for it to mean something. Just trying for wins now I guess.

Note to self . . . . .

Congratulations !!!!

Not only did I take this week's "Highest Finishing Pick" award (thanks to the fourth place finish of Martin Truex Jr. in the Foxwoods 301 at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway), but I also had the most upward movement in the standings (four spots).

Meanwhile, @Michfan has now moved up in the standing after each of the last four races, having gone from 15th to 5th place during that time. @dirtfan has also moved up after each of those races, having gone from 19th to 12th.

And although @Blake Hylton continues as the game's leader for the eleventh consecutive race, second place @Brentford has reduced the lead to 18 points.

When Kyle Weatherman finishes higher than your first A pick driver of the year.....you know it’s not your year.

Thought I was finally going to pass you to get out of the basement until Bowyer had his issues.

At the rate I am going you'll be passing me to get out of the basement. I actually think I might try to finish last I'd be in the history of this game no one finished first one year then last the next. Thats gotta be a record.

I'm cheering for Michfan to bring it home. Go get em buddy.

 

[Mr. E]

Well, Stenhouse was a good pick for 3/4 of the race.

 

[Spotter22]

Newman comes through for me!

 

[Brentford]

Was worried about Kenseth after he was slow in qualifying and every practice session. He somehow managed a top 15 which is okay by me.

You might have used all your C list drivers.

Thanks man!

I was planning to run Ty Dillon for this race and then at the last minute, I decided I wanted to be aggressive with Suarez because he ran so well here last year. He beat Dillon by one spot. This game is hard.

Wow!, I am not doing very well.

Although I meant to post mid-season 2017 standings at this season's mid-point (after 18 races), this is what the game's 2017 standings looked like after 20 races.

For those that played last year, how do your seasons compare so far ?

 

[kkfan91]

Much worse

complete opposite lmao The Champ is peeing down his leg

 

[Johali]

My average sucks this year. It'll be tough for me to get a top 10.

 

[Fordracing7]

Way better lol

 

[kkfan91]

People have talked about doing my strategy for years, but I'm pretty sure by this point in the season that it does not work.
