NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 - Phoenix

[pjmolo]

The deadline for submittal of driver picks for the next race is Sunday, November 10th, 2:30 p.m. Eastern time.

 

[aunty dive]

Willy B is my guy for the game.

Tyler Reddick for the irony.

Ideally … Reddick / Byron 1-2

 

[Magicmiler]

I'm picking Elliott...

 

[RaceCritter]

Logano Logano.

 

[aunty dive]

Pick is in …

Pick for the Championship Race is # 24 - William Byron

Good luck on Sunday. See you on the podium.

 

[Conover]

I saved Joey for Phoenix, and he came through to be part of the champ 4. I need him to finish strong.

He can do it! I wish I still had him. Lol

 

[JJ_14]

I'm pretty much guaranteed to finish inside the top 10, as long as Erik Jones gets me a decent finish.

 

[Brentford]

39 cars entered. As long as Logano doesn’t finish last, I’m good! If he does…yikes!

 

[JJ_14]

@aunty dive holds the tiebreaker in wins. However, if @Spotter22 wins at Phoenix and they end up in a tie, @Spotter22 holds the tiebreaker with more Top 5's.

Playoff implications!!!

 

[pjmolo]

@dirtfan wins at Phoenix, @Spotter22 finishes 12th, @aunty dive finishes 11th, ol'whatshisname finishes 10th

 

[aunty dive]

Stranger things have happened. Many times.

That’s why they run the races.

 

[JJ_14]

@dirtfan wins at Phoenix, @Spotter22 finishes 12th, @aunty dive finishes 11th, ol'whatshisname finishes 10th

In that scenario, @dirtfan wins it all because he'll have the same number of wins as @aunty dive and more Top 5's.

Would be crazy if it happens.

Jeb Burton makes 40.

Challenge accepted.

I have @Greg breathing down my neck must keep checking my mirror.

Greg still has Baney!

I was taught that focusing on catching and passing the car ahead makes you faster.

My car isn't that fast.

Blaney could be a DNF, I have jinxed a lot of good drivers this year.

I'll trade you one Kyle Busch for one Ryan Blaney if you'd like

 

[Greg]

I'll trade you one Kyle Busch for one Ryan Blaney if you'd like

Even if Blaney wins the race I am still going to need some luck or help to finish in the top 10. I will have the voodoo dolls on hand and once the picks are posted I will start messing with the ones that I need to finish badly.
It is just business, nothing personal.

It was worth a shot.

 

[aunty dive]

William Byron … the early years.

 

[aunty dive]

Weird double post up there.

Stupid iPad.

 

[Hotrod]

This competition has been very entertaining!
Good job Gents and good luck!

LV Odds of interest
Blaney 4-1
Byron 6-1
Larson 9-1
KyBu 35-1

[Brentford]

Jeb Burton makes 40.

Really, I just don't want to end with a final score of 666.

 

[Magicmiler]

I'm picking Elliott...

Looking back, I'm picking Elliott to NOT win..
I have reasons, which I can't reveal at this particular moment...

 

[Greg]

My theory is that it will be due to someone else finishing ahead of him.

 

[Magicmiler]

Well, there is another , um, thread game ,which could have Major Playoff Implications if Any HMS driver or If Reddick won...

 

[JJ_14]

Let's go, Erik Jones! Finish the season with a nice top 10!

[aunty dive]

Best NASCAR racing game ever!

Best of luck to all competitors today. Something tells me it’ll come down to the last few laps.

 

[JJ_14]

The odds of winning were slim for @DC76, but I would've swung for the fences and gone with someone else.

You never know what could happen. That said, Blaney is the safe pick. It could gain him a few spots.

Not sure if this Chase for the Championship picture is entirely accurate but it should be close:

For @Spotter22 to win the Championship:
- Blaney must finish at least 1 position ahead of Byron
- If Larson wins the race, Blaney must finish 2nd
- If Larson doesn't win the race, Blaney must finish no more than 2 positions behind Larson
- If Busch wins the race, Blaney must finish 11th or better
- If Busch doesn't win the race, Blaney must finish no worse than 11 positions behind Busch

For @aunty dive to win the Championship:
- Byron must finish at least 1 position ahead of Blaney
- If Larson wins the race, Byron must finish 2nd
- If Larson doesn't win the race, Byron must finish no more than one position behind Larson
- If Busch wins the race, Byron must finish 10th or better
- If Busch doesn't win the race, Byron must finish no more than 10 positions behind Busch

For @ol'whatshisname to win the Championship:
- If Larson wins, Blaney and Byron must finish no better than 3rd
- If Busch wins, Larson must finish 9th or better
- If neither Larson or Busch wins, Larson must finish 2 positions ahead of Byron, 3 positions ahead of Blaney, and no more than 8 positions behind Busch

For @dirtfan to win the Championship:
- If Busch wins, Blaney must finish no better than 12th, Byron must finish no better than 11th, and Larson must finish no better than 10th

A real nail biter.
Good Luck to all of you.

I totally agree and thought about picking someone else, but the competition in this game has gotten so tough the last couple of years it would be an honor to finish inside the top 5 so I figured Blaney would be my best bet.
Good luck everyone

 

[Brentford]

Took the entire season for me to get a win.
