NASCAR Pick 'Em 2019 - Michigan #2

Congrats to @Blaze for taking this week's "Highest Finishing Pick" award as his pick, Kevin Harvick, was the winner of the Consumers Energy 400 at Michigan International Speedway.

Additional congrats to @Spotter for having the most upward movement in the standings for the second week in a row as his pick of eighth place finisher William Byron enabled him to move up six spots.

Continued congrats to @Clutch who has increased his lead over second place to a season high 83 points and has now held onto the top of the leader board for 15 consecutive races.

I really wanted some good value out of my recent picks, which I didn't get. My last four finishes: 26th, 26th, 26th & today 27th. They're all backmarkers but still, a little dissapointing.

It's even worse when your backmarker finishes 36th the week you pick him, then he decides to finish 7th the following week.

What I love about this game is that it's all about skill. No luck involved at all.

I agree, first time playing and I have been leading laps and staying top 10 all season.
I bet JJ wishes he could say that.:D

Luck is certainly a factor ... not sure it trumps (sorry) stupid.

My Michigan pick sat on the pole ... ran up front ... held the lead ...

Blew a tire and raced his way back to the front, went in for service, authorized his credit card for $80 and found out he needed $87.39 worth of fuel. Third became 19th.

Rather like having 2 sets of new tires in the truck with 13 races left on the schedule ... and no credit.

No reason your strategy won't work.







i really must give some thought to using some sort of sarcasm emoji thing ...

The only strategy involved is getting as few points as possible every week.

Clearly, I've been doing it all wrong.


I will wait for Homestead to decide whether or not to follow along with your plan next year.

Next year I'm drawing names out of a hat rather than trying to use strategy

With how this game works, I really think the hat technique is just as good as trying strategy. Everyone will have to use the same drivers anyway and we have learned that even drivers who perform well at certain tracks can still cost you a bunch of points. I will probably go with the hat strategy too, that way I can blame the hat instead of myself.

Now ya'll know why I use my technique. I usually get a top ten or better but not this year.

@Johali's driver selection technique resulted in him using primarily "C Group" drivers during the first 18 races and he finished the first half of the season with a dismal average of 24.3 points per race.

However, so far in the second half he's been in top form with an average of 8.0 points per race.

If he can keep that pace up he's got a decent chance of finishing in the top ten. :D

After all of this time you know that's my goal. If I get a top ten every year, I'm good to go. This is the toughest damn race game that I've played but I love it. :booya:

Sez the newcomer in seventh with two lower A's and four B's left. Two of which should be C's. :D
 
Butt-slammed with malice.

Sounds like something I would have written.
