Don't worry everyone I will screw this up and drop down to my average pick finishing 23rd

@pjmolo, double-check the 'Drivers Used' chart. You have @Head423 as having run Haley.

Good catch. Love the quality control working for me.

I'll have it fixed the next time around.

I decided to make it fair and give you guys a head start. With my keen insight and first hand info I will rule NASCAR Pickem just as I did last year!

The 2020 NASCAR Cup Series marks week two of the season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with the running of the Pennzoil 400 this Sunday.

The number of game players increased by three this week to a total of 35 with the addition of returning players @ChexOrWrex, @DUN24, and @Spotter22.

Picks for the Las Vegas race were focused on the replacement driver for Ryan Newman in the #6 car. Ross Chastain was picked by 15 players while Brad Keselowski was picked by 6 players.
Good luck to all and thanks for participating.

This could be a good week for me.

 

[DUN24]

Damn I'm only 40 points behind. Not a bad start to the year!

I was thinking gerbils or hamsters but I can make this work.

Just for the record, 16 players picked David Ragan last week.

Of those 16, 11 picked Ross Chastain this week.

Something in the water, maybe ?

Welp… could've been alot worse. Kudos to @REBS31 on his awesome pick.

Thanks. I figured Chastain would be the favorite this week so I wanted to try something off the wall. I had a gut feeling about AD for some reason and fortunately it paid off.

This is all C Bell’s fault.

That's about the same odds as getting struck by lightning.

Twice.

That's being put in the doghouse.

 

[Clutch]

At least you have company.

 

[aunty dive]

They both look miserable.

We’ve logged a few lampshade days with the dogs. Pretty sure I was at least as happy as they were when they came off.

Ah, the ever-popular 'Cone of Shame'.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

actually I think I may have gotten a last place finish with Michael McDowell in the pick em game but an overall win in the Fantasy Game. Thats gotta be a first or pretty rare if no one picked Prrece or Timmy Hill in yesterdays race.

 

[donthaveanickname]

More than satisfied with P29 for Poole.

Congrats to @REBS31 who took the "Highest Finishing Pick" award this week as his driver, Austin Dillon, finished fourth in a wild finish of the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Congrats also to @REBS31 who took the first place position in the game's standings.

Additional congrats to @FLRacingFan and @Truex_rox as they had the most upward movement in the standings this week by moving up a whopping 18 spots.

If the pet is small enough, it's also good for getting stuck in the bed frame or under furniture.
