@Head423 and @Elliott_Fan_9 might wanna play the lotto before their luck runs out.

 

[Turtle84]

Menard was a mistake.

 

[pjmolo]

Just a reminder to anyone still interested in playing or who might have had a brain cramp and forgot to submit a pick for Daytona . . .

Well I am starting off 2019 good, forgot to get my pick in, sigh.....

omg I wanted to wait.....I forgot too

. . . there's still time to get in and still be competitive as you'll get 41 points for the first race of the season.

[SlicedBread22]

Trying to make an educated guess for this race:

[DanicaFreak]

there is a strategy of picking back markers until the very end

 

[pjmolo]

No more bump threads? Awesome! If people forget to make picks, that's their own fault.

The 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series marks week two at Atlanta Motor Speedway with the running of the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 this Sunday.

The number of game players increased by four this week to a record total of 36 with the addition of returning players @DanicaFreak and @jws926 along with rookie players @acmerocket and @REBS31.

Picks for the Atlanta race were made from across the driver groups with "A Group" driver Brad Keselowski (picked by 5 players) being the most popular followed by "B Group" driver Ryan Newman and "C Group" driver Parker Kligerman each picked by four players.
Good luck to all and thanks for participating.

Well we'll break that big 6th place tie up this week. Me and @LewTheShoe will still be tied though.

somewhere far south of 6th place if the first practice is any indication of what to expect come Sunday . . . .

No one asked for your input! I'm kidding.

Lotta Keselowski picks for race #2...

 

[Head423]

I’ve got lucky 2 weeks it’s gonna come to a crashing halt soon lol

 

[Turtle84]

The 48 came through big time today

Oooops wrong game. Ty Dillon came through big time today.

 

[Brentford]

I think Harvick is expected to give you a win, but a 4th is fine by me considering his troubles during qualifying and practice.

 

[pjmolo]

Congrats to @Ashstrodamus, @Greg, @Head423, @Mr Excitement, and @REBS31 who take the "Highest Finishing Pick" award this week as their driver, Brad Keselowski, held off a hard charging Martin Truex Jr, to win the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Congrats also to @Head423 who retained the first place position in the game's standings. Additional congrats to @Clutch as he had the most upward movement in the standings this week by moving up a whopping 17 spots.

On the flip side @aunty dive took the year's first "Wiping Up the Rear" award when his pick, Michael McDowell, finished dead last, thereby dropping the game's 2017 champion 26 spots in the standings to 32nd place.

 

[aunty dive]

Charmin.

That is all.

Preeceiate it

Well, I got part of that right.

@aunty dive indeed took the "Wiping Up the Rear" award at Atlanta but it was @Snappy D that won the game's championship in 2017.



apologies to all . . . .

 

[aunty dive]

Snappy, Schmappy ...

My anxiety is starting to subside. Sometimes running a C pays off and sometimes it doesn't.

Stenhouse Jr. started on the front row. I'm very dissapointed I only got an 18th place finish out of him. It could've been worse, but it looks to me like Roush could be trending upwards.

I think having Newman with his engineering abilities will do more for RFR than Kenseth or Stenhouse could. His feedback would be more informative for the engineers who work with the CC. If unlike RCR they listen to him they could find a better starting point for their setups and then adjust to the different drivers.

I want to thank my sponsors that made last week's win possible. Having the support of the CooterJohnsonsJuniorsIII Racing Enterprises Motorsports Associates Incorporated, and the technical alliances with Dingleberry Racing Enterprises Motorsports Associates unincorporated is essential to being successful in the league
They have built a world class technical facility that made the win possible.

I want to thank Greg Nation for the loyal support too.
