Deadline to select your drivers is Apr 12 5:00am EDT
 
I can't get out of my own way this segment. I need a string of 300+ point weeks to even get close to the top 20.
 
Well no A list drivers made it to the top five , but I'll bet there are a few at the finish.:D
 
I got ten points and maintained my nine point advantage. YeeeeHaw.:D
 
I finished the worst I have ever finished. This is the end. Im sure of that.
 
Biffle and Edwards got a break on the caution towards the end and really helped me out.
 
I dropped to second by 26 points, still well ahead of the ones behind me though.
 
Finally had the kind of day that I needed to get me back into the mix of things. But then again, I've had solid weeks the past five races. It was the first two weeks that hurt me.
 
I think I'll take 10 minutes today and do all my picks for the rest of the year as I don't see how I could do any worse. Save some time, effort and not be botherd with it anymore until February 2014.
 
As I look back at my grand plan to take Kyle out and slide Junior in because everyone else had Kyle ,Iwonder how anyone could be so stupid.

ah yes, I had a touch of brilliance myself. I picked the dark horse brothers, Kyle, Kurt...37th and the wrong Ford, Stenhouse 40th. I feel your pain.

You see , my theory is that if you go against the crowd , you can make big gains ;trouble is , you can lose even bigger.:(
 
For everyone who thinks they are doing miserably, here are my stats:

Daytona: .......134
Phoenix: .......215
Vegas: ..........254
Bristol: .........347
California: ...228
Martinsville: 241
Texas: ..........228
TOTAL: .......1,647

At the beginning of the season, I spent a couple of hours compiling a bunch of driver stats, putting them in a journal by average finish at each track, and determining which drivers I would pick at which track. I just tore up the paper full of driver numbers and threw it away. Starting today for all of my A and B picks except Jeff (I'm sticking with him for certain races), I plan on putting driver numbers in a bag by group and picking them at random. I can't possibly finish worse by doing that instead of how I've been picking drivers.

I think a lot of people got burned by picking Ku Busch.

I haven't felt comfortable enough to pick him yet. He's just up and down...you never know what kind of day he is going to have. He usually either has a crappy car or crappy luck.
 
I have noticed that people seem to be keeping up with the game so far. I mean, only 3% of the people have Denny Hamlin on their team.

Mine is the exception. It is all skill and careful planning. I really thought that I need to tone it down this year and give the rest of you a chance. I'm afraid that if I win every year interest in the game will wane to the point that I'll be the only one playing. It will become obvious to you all when I decide to start to apply my fail-safe methodology of making my picks. o_O
