Starting to feel like how the cup guys do in their standings. The leader is already a mile in front.

Looks like most of us struggled this weekend. Still, Logano was doing good. Tough break.
Crazy amount of bad picks. You don't see that very often.

Congratulations to @Michfan, the recipient of the "Highest Finishing Pick" award, thanks to the first place finish of his pick, Ryan Blaney, in the Straight Talk Wireless 500 at Phoenix Raceway.
The top of the leader-board remained in the hands of @hmmm298 who was able increase his lead over those chasing him by taking advantage of the miserable finishes by their picks.
Along with the "Highest Finishing Pick" award, the "Most Upward Movement" award also went to @Michfan after his gain of 13 spots in the standings and 17 points relative to the standings leader.
The "Slipping & Sliding" award was snatched by @TommyGunn due to his pick of the last place finishing driver, Chase Briscoe, which caused him to lose 19 points relative to the leader thereby by dropping him from second to third place in the standings.
Finally, that last place finish by Briscoe meant that the "Wiping Up the Rear" award made an appearance for the second time this season when it was placed firmly in the left hand of @TommyGunn as he held the "Slipping and Sliding" award in the right.

I felt bad when Logano wrecked, but seeing the standings and all the bad picks made me feel a little better.
Only 3 top 10's this weekend. That's crazy!
On to Las Vegas!

Collectively, the Pick 'Em contestants made bad picks of historic proportions.
> Only 3 top-10's.
> Only 6 top-20 picks (including the 3 top-10's plus 3 others).
> There were 20 picks that scored P30 or higher.
Such a week was very tricky to navigate, but I managed to remain firmly in last place, with an average score of P35.0 for the four races so far. God, how I hate this game!

I made my pick early in the week for COTA with McDowell and it worked out well. Waited till after qualifying and practice this week and received a 34th place for my efforts. I’ve got my pick locked in already for Vegas. We were shown with last years champion that waiting till after practice and qualifying isn’t necessary.

You're off to a rough start, but it's very early in the season. There is still time to turn things around. Good luck!

A P18 from Herbst on a non-superspeedway is like a win.
fyi, these are the worst Pick 'Em game seasons for players that made a pick for each of that year's 36 races.
Although it's hard to imagine your average finish per race getting any worse, you are in an excellent position to make the list . . .

The year 2022 was my only bad year in this game. I've played every season since 2019. I don't have a single NO-PICK or ineligible.fyi, these are the worst Pick 'Em game seasons for players that made a pick for each of that year's 36 races.

Aside from 2022, I've finished inside the top 10 in the final standings every year. My 2019 name was Elliott_Fan_9.
Oof I forget but 2020 my have been my inspiration to use weird systems.fyi, these are the worst Pick 'Em game seasons for players that made a pick for each of that year's 36 races.
