Once again I'm a lone picker. Maybe I'll luck out and no neck'll get a top 5.

 

[Blaze]

My pick probably won't do much for me, but I'm hoping to hang on to at least the top 5 but knowing how this goes I'll go down to 7th and back to 5th the next week.

 

[Brentford]

As is the case with all back running drivers, my only hope for a good finish is that it's an action packed race with many wrecks, with Matt Tifft being able to avoid them all.

I'm hearing that Hamlin and Larson are involved in the first wreck that takes them both out.

 

[aunty dive]

Some humor.

Those two goofballs are certainly capable of it.

[Brentford]

Those two goofballs are certainly capable of it.

Maybe, but they are both also capable of winning.

With a little luck, @Clutch's miserable remaining picks might possibly finish, on average, as high as 20th place over the last 12 races of the season.

If that happens he'll finish with a season average of about 14 points per race which, based upon the short history of the game, should be enough for him to win the game's championship.

So, @Clutch . . . .

With luck, and a decent finish by Newman, you just might be able to move up in the standings and make it into the Top . . . . . . . . . . 30.

It was teed up.

He hadda’ take the shot.

 

[Clutch]

I'm points racing with crap equipment.

 

[Efisher131]

Hamlin will win and get DQ'd and Larson will finish 3rd so he can end up where he belongs. 2nd.

Is Ty allowed up this late?

 

[Fordracing7]

Gained 4 spots!

 

[Clutch]

I prolly lost the lead.

 

[Fordracing7]

I prolly lost the lead.

Lol yeah I think Dillon finished 75th...I'll have to double check tho

 

[Conover]

My miserable record of picking continued, with reckin’ Ricky finishing 33rd. Sometimes a season is just discombobulated.... or is it my overthinking of outcomes? Well, new goal; I’ll use remaining races to try and get into the top 15....

 

[JJ_14]

Oh my gosh! My pick Chastain finished one spot ahead of most popular pick, Denny Hamlin!

Has Ross Chastain (at age 26) gained a step?

Congrats to @jws926, who's held the title of "cellar dweller" since the 12th race of the season, for taking this week's "Highest Finishing Pick" award as his pick, Erik Jones, won the Bojangles’ Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.

Congrats also to @kkfan91 for having the most upward movement in the standings as a fourth place finish by his pick, Kevin Harvick, enabled him to move up six spots and into the top ten for the first time since the first race of the season.

Finally, congrats to @Clutch who has now held onto the top of the leader board for 17 consecutive races but, for the second race in a row, saw his lead over second place reduced. His lead now stands at 56 points with 11 races remaining.

As a demonstration of the command that @Clutch appears to have over the game, I mentioned in an earlier post that he needed his picks over the last twelve races to finish, on average, in 20th place or better in order for him to have a legitimate chance at winning the game's championship.

So lo and behold, Ty Dillon, his pick at Darlington finished 20th.

 

[aunty dive]

I’m almost there.

[Clutch]

Larson really hurt me.

I’m almost there.

Wear shoes.
Hard on the feet at Rock Bottom.

I'm trying guys, I'm trying

I'm trying guys, I'm trying

Try less.

In 2017, Hambone "swept" Darlington's Xfinity and Cup races, winning both with illegal cars.

In 2019, Hambone was so worried he might repeat the "Sweep Of Infamy" that he deliberately finished 29th Sunday night. And the worst part... he doesn't even care that he screwed up my whole season... just as I was about to move forward from 27th place..

 

[SlicedBread22]

Up 10 spots in 3 weeks.. look out @Clutch I'm coming for you
