I may be wrong but I think this is a personal best performance for @aunty dive so far this season.

 

[Brentford]

Might as well just post everyone's picks now. We already know everyone is taking Ryan Newman. Well, except me. I've been saving Josh Bilicki for Darlington.

I won’t be picking him, no need to curse my man like that.

The wheel picks who it picks

I think it’s my best all- time. The team has been on a good run since Fontana when I was in 26th spot.

Long way to go … stay on the lead lap with the leader in sight. Just like in the real world.

I’m just waiting for some late race restarts.

What is the slipping and sliding award?

 

[Brentford]

What is the slipping and sliding award?

Most positions lost (in the points standings) in a single race.

 

[Spotter22]

Looks like Im in sole possession of the worst picker on the board. I'm a victim of circumstance I tell ya!

 

[aunty dive]

Nextgen …

 

[JJ_14]

I have more top 5's & top 10's this season than all of last year combined.

^ it’s nice to have someone else to blame when it all goes south.

 

[LibertyU24]

Shouldn't I have got a wiping up the rear award from Daytona

That’s why @kkfan91 uses the wheel.

I realized I was the losing factor in this a couple years ago so I've been trying different things to see if it works. Last year I submitted all my picks at the beginning of the season.

Your pick finished 34th.

Not even close.

Note to the rear tire changer on the 43 ...

You’re ugly and your mother dresses you funny.

yeah, last time I pick the same as you....

 

[JJ_14]

The value pick of the week would go to Harrison Burton, but no one took him. I'll give it to Todd Gilliland, chosen by @RayinTX.

 

[Brentford]

Thanks Tyler!

 

[Greg]

I just happy I didn't pick Chastain. His stats for Darlington were good, but he seemed high risk and a like a tempting target for many on one of the toughest tracks.

Happy with a 5th from Bubba Wallace.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Bubba really should’ve contended for the win today. Not bad with all things considered though.

 

[Blaze]

I’m right there with you. I always seem to pick someone who wrecks lol. Had a few ones I got lucky

 

[Brentford]

I don’t know how mad I should be. The move the Byron made on Reddick going 3 wide made it to where Reddick had nowhere to go in his wreck. But it’s also the move that put Byron in position to win the race.

 

[aunty dive]

I could get Slippin’ and Slidin’ and Wiping Up My Rear on the same weekend.

The jinx is real.

 

[Old 97]

Father was a hamster

And your mother smells of elderberries!

 

[Old 97]

Bubba had me scared for quite a bit!
Nice come back.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Erik was running top 15 and was looking like a real value pick for me…until Legacy decided to Legacy. This is turning into one of my worse years playing this game

 

[pjmolo]

Congratulations to @Mr Excitement (aka "the creeper") and @Clutch for taking the "Highest Finishing Pick" award following the third place finish of their pick, Chase Elliott, in the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway.

The "Most Upward Movement" award was taken by @Magicmiler as he moved up six spots in the standings.

The top of the standings remained unchanged for the eighth consecutive race due to @Old 97 yet again picking a driver that finished in the top ten.

Meanwhile, the "Slipping & Sliding" award was taken by @aunty dive and @Truex_rox, who each dropped five spots in the standings.

 

[Clutch]

Actually Clutch sank.

 

[aunty dive]

Stank … rather like my team.

 

[LibertyU24]

I hate McDowell and Gibbs

 

[pjmolo]

Actually Clutch sank.

Indeed.

That should have been @Head423 that had the highest finishing pick.
My mistake.
