Congratulations to
@DC76 , the recipient of the "Highest Finishing Pick" award, as his pick of Ricky Stenhouse Jr. managed to survive the Big One on his way to a sixth place finish in the Jack's Link 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.
The top of the leader board saw
@Clutch pull into a dead even tie for first place with
@TommyGunn after having methodically narrowed the margin of his lead following each of the last several races.
The Top Five Club kept
@hmmm298 and
@ken in the mix but
@Michfan took advantage of a disappointing finish by the pick made by
@aunty dive and rejoined the club in fifth place in the standings.
Along with
@TommyGunn ending his streak of picking the fourth place finisher in five consecutive races,
@FLRacingFan and
@Clutch had their streaks of picking a Top Ten finisher in five consecutive races come to an end.
The "Most Upward Movement" award was taken by
@DC76 when he was able to gain thirteen points relative to the leader and five positions in the standings.
Finally, the "Slipping & Sliding" award was hauled off by
@RayinTX, who like
@donthaveanickname and
@Blaze in the previous races, was saddled with a "NO PICK" which caused a drop of twenty-two points relative to the leader as well as a slide of three spots in the standings.
