Looks like @REBS31 and I are the only ones going strictly with the C drivers first strategy.

I'm more of a believer of getting a bit of a feel for how some of their season(s) are going for at least a few races to see which C drivers to pick, with some exceptions, like Cindric and Allmendinger at road courses.
Helps to minimize losses when you do have to use some of them if you get an idea for how they are running are certain places this year.

I got tired of thinking every week so I just sent my whole list at the beginning of the season and hope for the best

I made my entire list in advance as well. I'm only submitting one or two races at a time though, so I'm more involved and can change my mind if necessary.

Now that Atlanta is a superspeedway track, I'm changing my pick for the fall race and putting that driver in a different race.

Mine is heavily back loaded and so far I've got solidish production from Cs
 
I don't have a single top 10 this year. Things are not looking good right now in terms of winning this thing.

You've only had one seriously under performing pick so far (Chastain). Could be worse . . . .

P23 by Ty Dillon isn't terrible, but it won't be enough to contend for the championship. I gotta step up my game sooner rather than later.
 
The NASCAR Cup Series continued a short streak of short track racing with the running of the Blue-Emo Maximum Pain Relief 400 at Martinsville Speedway.

The most popular driver pick for the race, selected by six players, was 17th place finisher Brad Keselowski, while 8th place finisher Aric Almirola was selected by five.

Congrats to @RacerrecaR , @Spotter22, @Turtle84 and 'ol what's his name for taking the "Highest Finishing Pick" award following the first place finish of their pick, William Byron.

@REBS31 took the "Most Upward Movement" award by moving up five positions in the standings.

Congrats to @acmerocket for maintaining his hold on first place in the standings for the fourth consecutive race.

Finally, the "Wiping Up The Rear" award is headed to the trophy case of @donthaveanickname thanks to the last place finish of his pick, BJ McLeod.

ha ha thanks. very very lucky. I would have liked that Byron pick just a little bit better. I shoulda went with him ( it legit was between Byron and Dillon for me. Cant complain) because I vaguely remembering the last 3 races at Martinsville you could tell he figured it out, he ran in the top 5 for most of those races. Maybe I'm misremembering but I thought he almost won a race there last year but yea good pick to you and I was actually gonna use him for this year's fall race there. But oh well, onto Bristol Dirt.

A third place finish by Austin Dillon has more value than a win by Byron. Dillon is a mid pack driver most weeks.

I changed my mind on Gilliland just in time to go with Byron, a lucky change of tune for me. I was looking for any way to fade Byron this week, but he seemed too much of a lock to go against, and glad I didn't, would have just lost more ground everywhere in fantasy. AD has impressed me in recent years, showing flashes of being an elite driver at some of the most challenging tracks.
