Just roll over and play dead.

Heck, let the guy play. He’d probably still have a shot to catch me even if you gave him a last place finish for the previous 24 or so races.

I did my best to pick Austin Dillion.
I even tried holding my nose. Still couldn’t do it.

I get it.
It's not an easy thing to do.
But picking the pace car is not a viable option . . .

I picked Austin Dillon, I feel dirty and need a cold shower, but I picked him.

I thought Hocevar would be a throwaway pick, so I used him here. Didn’t think he’d be so competitive at non-plate tracks. Oh well!

This kid is a bad ass, he's gonna get picked up soon.I thought Hocevar would be a throwaway pick, so I used him here. Didn’t think he’d be so competitive at non-plate tracks. Oh well!
This is why I despise when quicker cars fall back in the pack intentionally. Ryan Preece gets crinkled by being mid-late pack, when he had opportunities earlier to get up front and stay there. He elected to fall all back in stage 1, then puttering around before the mess. Someone cue up my theme record by Tom Petty….

Slightly jealous of the picks mentioned in the previous two posts, but I’ll take an 11th from Hocevar, even though he just rode around and survived.

I’m so bummed I have zero shot of getting back into the championship fight. Lots of bullets left but my pistol malfunctioned months ago…would have been fun
Survival is a win at a plate track!

Pre-race I had my pick narrowed down to McLeod, Hemric, or Burton.
Guess it could have been worse.

Go Briscoe!
It looks like I didn't lose any spots in the standings with the 25th place finish from Austin Hill. It's a bummer that I didn't do better, but my chances at a top 10 points finish are still alive.
As a matter of fact, I think I gained a spot.

Just another plate race failure pick. That being said, it was cool to see Harrison Burton get the Wood Brothers they're 100th win.

I should have taken the advice from @LewTheShoe in Michigan's Pick em thread..
I definitely will at Talladega...

Well, at Daytona @LewTheShoe had the same pick as you, Ryan Preece, who wound up in 39th place. Preece had a very fast Ford, qualified on the second row, surrounded by Stewart Haas teammates and the Ford's from Front Row, Penske, and RFK. So the dumb ass intentionally throws away the relative safety of track position at the front, moves back into the scrum, and wrecks out of the race at the first opportunity. Hopefully Preece will be back in New England soon, driving a modified, where he belongs. His extended trial in cup racing has amply demonstrated that he's not cut out for Nascar's biggest stage.
I should have followed my own advice...!

Preece is fine. How many cars made it to the finish without damage? It was just bad luck, it happens.

I’m still doing better than I had done previous years, I’m normally a basement dweller in this game.

You are doing just fine.
Good sportsmanship is hanging in there and respecting those who are performing the best even when you are to far behind to catch up.
Just keep on smilin

He was good in the Mods . Saw him win at Waterford Speedbowl about 10 years ago. Talented, but somehow hasn't made that transition to Cup... Lord knows he has had enough time...
