Good luck to everyone! I think I know who the 3 most popular picks will be. We'll see though, you never know in this game.

Ricky Bobby, Jean Girard, and Cal Naughton, Jr.?

Honestly, I don't think it's even a question on who to go with. Cody Ware 100%! Don't be fooled by practice and qualifying. His car is set up for the race! And lucky for everyone, it's not too late to change your pick!

I wasn't even thinking about Allmendinger. He'll be a factor today.

Fifteen players went with Jordan Taylor (or is it Taylor Jordan), the most picks of one driver in a game since 16 went with Danica Patrick in the 2018 Daytona 500 when she finished 32nd.

I'm surprised at that list. I thought more would go with Taylor. Only 1 pick of Raikkonen & none went with Button. That's surprising as well.

im happy cuz I thought way more people would’ve picked AJThis is exactly why I went with someone else. I knew Taylor would be a popular pick but if he has some trouble......................... not that I wish that on him

My exact strategy as well, and we both ended up with Suarez lolThis is exactly why I went with someone else. I knew Taylor would be a popular pick but if he has some trouble......................... not that I wish that on him

No idea what happened. I kept looking on the leaderboard. McDowell went from 7th, to 30th back to 12th all in the last few laps. No idea how that happened, but I guess I'll take it.

Tyler Reddick this week was much better than my pick of no one last week.

Well. With most people picking Jordan, I shouldn’t be hurt to bad

Same feeling watching from Kimi’s perspective. Suddenly in the top twenty with under ten to go, then actually managing to hold steady for a while until spinning right near the end.

Congrats to the Reddick pickers - great call, he’a become the road man.
Just one caution too many for Taylor.

Taylor was getting better at restarts, had made it all the way to the top 10. He restarted on the inside in the final restart, I thought he was safe. That is, until someone dove underneath Taylor & basically took him out.

Congrats to @Gators423!, @AuzGrams, and @Toyoda for taking the "Highest Finishing Pick" award thanks to the first place finish of their pick, Tyler Reddick, in the Echopark Automotive Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas.
Additional congrats to @Old 97 for taking over the top spot in the standings, breaking @antman's hold on that spot for the last four races.
