Congratulations to
@ToyYoda, the recipient of the "Highest Finishing Pick" award following the first place finish of his pick, Austin Cindric, in the Jack's Links 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.
That makes it seven consecutive races that someone has picked the race winner with two of those seven coming from
@ToyYoda.
The top of the leader remained in the hands of
@kkfan91 who uses the unique, worry-free method of making driver picks by submitting his entire list of drivers prior to the first race of the season.
At ten races into the race season his ouija board method of participation in the game has resulted in his picks having an average finish of just over 12th place.
Talladega being Talladega resulted in quite a shake-up in the standings highlighted by
@ToyYoda snagging the "Highest Finishing Pick" award with an upward movement of eight spots into a Top Five position in the standings.
The seldom awarded "Hard Luck" award was dusted off and presented to
@DanicaFreak following the disqualification of his pick, second place finisher Ryan Preece.
The 36 point difference between Preece having a 2nd place finish and a 38th place finish meant that instead of sitting comfortably atop the leader board
@DanicaFreak sits in 6th place, 25 points behind the leader.
Finally, the "Slipping & Sliding" award was taken by
@REBS31 thanks to the 33rd place finish by his pick, BJ McLeod, which caused him to drop eight spots and out of the Top 10 in the standings.
