After the first 11 races or so, I had zero hope that I would even finish inside the top 10 in the final standings.

I've been on a roll as of late.

Was 32nd in the standings after the 11th race.

Correction: I was as low as 32nd in the standings at one point. I believe I was 26th after the 11th race of the season.

Congratulations to @REBS31, the recipient of the "Highest Finishing Pick" award following the first place finish of his pick, William Byron, in the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway.

The top of the player standings changed hands once again as @dirtfan, who sat on top of the heap only long enough for a cup of coffee, took a hit and dropped to the third spot when his pick, Justin Haley, managed a 23rd place finish.

Meanwhile, @Conover was able to use the 12th place finish of his pick, Austin Cindric, to slide into the top spot while @Mr. E used his fourth consecutive Top Ten pick (Bubba Wallace's 6th place finish) to move to within three points of being the leader of the pack.

The Top Five Club saw no new members although @JJ_14 used his second consecutive Top Five pick to move within spittin' distance of renewing his Club card.

After taking a well deserved break from the stress of the game last week, @Clutch returned to form with a Top Five pick that now has him with six Top Ten picks in the last seven races.

Along with standing's leader @Conover, @Old 97 has also put together a string of consecutive Top Ten picks thanks to the 9th place finish of Joey Logano.

The "Most Upward Movement" award was taken by @donthaveanickname when the 9th place finish of Bubba Wallace resulted in his gain of five spots and put him back into the Top 20 in the standings.

Finally, the 23th place finish by @Head423's pick, Justin Haley, resulted in him taking a drop in the standings of four positions, a skid worthy of the "Slipping and Sliding" award.

Loving that +/- points relative to the leader.

Why don’t I understand how the new column works?

I haven't studied it.... and it's new.. But I pretty sure it's how you did against the leader in the last race

It's hiw much your gap to the leader increased or decreased.

I was 85 behind before Iowa, now it's 77 so it's a +8 for me.

 

[Old 97]

Why don’t I understand how the new column works?

Last week I was 144 behind the leader.
After yesterday's race I am now 139 behind the leader.
+5

Sometimes, I am a dumbass.

Don't worry, it took me a while to understand what it was as well.

@pjmolo very nice addition, thank you.

Just giving it a try-out as I figure it's nice to know as the game gets into the nitty gritty part of the season.

If that number isn’t +30 every week for us, Chloe says she’s not interested. Perhaps you could instead tell us how much we gained/lost on last place. Just kidding! Seriously, I’m joking.
