Great I can use a C driver.....

 

[Blaze]

So I took all the drivers I haven't picked yet, and put in a random name picker, and got my pick. So I'm ready for Daytona.

I used a blender to shred my picks already made. I ready for Daytonia.

 

[aunty dive]

Great I can use a C driver.....

Oh, come on ... you have 5 A's and B's left in inventory for the remaining 19 races.

Not gonna burn one of them?

Pure instincts sir

 

[acmerocket]

wallace and gaughan will be the most picked this week

 

[aunty dive]

Pure instincts sir

I have to admit to occasional use of a lawn-dart myself.

 

[Clutch]

Actually maybe I should.
Gambling on a C is normally a good idea at an RP track but these high down force, lower HP cars have me second guessing.

 

[JJ_14]

I already made my pick it isn't Wallace or Gaughan.

 

[aunty dive]

I am on the edge of my seat.

 

[Turtle84]

"Grown men" talking about their fantasy picks on 4th of July. Huge HUGE implications. I've been dreaming about it and thinking about it all day.

 

[Michfan]

I already made my pick it isn't Wallace or Gaughan.

One more hint and I'll make my guess.

And to be fair my pick's favorite cartoon as a kid was Scooby Doo and his favorite planet is Jupiter.

He drives a Ford.

Driver picks for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway.

The most popular driver pick is Brendan Gaughan, who was selected by eight players.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and David Ragan were each selected by four players.
Thanks for participating, fellers.

 

[Blaze]

wow the random name thing ends up with me picking the guy who was picked the most.

 

[aunty dive]

You don't know what you've got till it's Gaughan.

 

[acmerocket]

with that list it will be fun to see who is the highest finishing car,bowman in to top 10,next in the top 15

 

[acmerocket]

and no one took the 2 car????

 

[Turtle84]

Gaughan pickers be like:

 

[Mr Excitement]

You don't know what you've got till it's Gaughan.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

The lone Hemric pick

 

[Clutch]

Not a lot of love for McDowell either.

 

[aunty dive]

That boy chunky.

 

[Greg]

That boy chunky.

The hospitality tents just opened...

 

[Clutch]

Actually quite a few single pick drivers.....should be interesting for points

 

[Greg]

Not a lot of love for McDowell either.

All he has to do is put the McDowells restaraunt on his hood one time, pro Bono.

He would not get any direct money but everybody would love him and it would add future sponsorship capital to his name. Win/Win him and restaurant.

A liitle late though, should have done did it a long time ago.
DW would have loved him for the stunt and mentioned it a gozillion time$.
The nightly news would have plugged him and restaurant.
Movies and book deals....
Could have saved MWR too, Michael would have verbally goldmined the thing.

Would have been a dream thread, for the silver spoon posse too.

 

[aunty dive]

Always interesting to try to determine how many ****tails @Greg has before he writes one of those.

 

[JJ_14]

Go Matt!

 

[SlicedBread22]

JJ fan for a day (not the 48 )

 

[ToyYoda]

Hoping for more of July 2017 Daytona Stenhouse and less of July 2018 Daytona Stenhouse.

 

[Blaze]

Hoping for more of July 2017 Daytona Stenhouse and less of July 2018 Daytona Stenhouse.

As long as someone doesn't throw a dumb block we should be good. since I still stand by it wasn't his fault.

 

[Spotter22]

You don't know what you've got till it's Gaughan.

Gaughan like yesterday
