Congrats to Skidmarks (finished 3rd last season and looks like he's up to his old tricks again this year), Rusty (11th last year), and Kiss (13th last year) for the Dale Jr. pick.
4 teams took Hamlin: Penguin (2nd last year), Graziano (6th last year), Piston (5th last year), and Empty (8th last year).
High Speed (12th last year) chose 6th place finisher Kenseth, Chonk (14th last year) took 7th place Stenhouse Jr., and Beef (4th last year) took rookie Austin Dillon who finished 9th to round out the top 10 picks for Daytona.Shepard took Harvick (13th). Dust (who probably woke up Monday afternoon nude on a hotel room floor in a completely different Casino covered in glitter and Sweet Tarts... standard Vegas or is that just me?) and new/old team A-Game took McMurray (14th).
Ideal and 2013 Champion Rasta took Kurt Busch who had a disappointing 21st place finish, but the BSOTW goes to 2013 Chase winner Asleep and Rowdy with their 32nd place Menard pick.
Lots of different strategies for this race and this year...
- Do we save our best drivers as long as we can and pick the scrubs early? That only works if they don't BSOTW...
- At what point in the season do we just go for broke and try to get our 3 wins to make the Chase? What drivers will we have left to compete in the Chase if we have to do that?
- Rock, Paper, Scissors? I'm sticking with this one.
- Do we just try to stay steady and qualify in the top 7... maybe pick up the 3 wins along the way just in case? This seems like it is more like the old league rules strategy, but those bonus points could make the difference in who wins this year. Remember last year? One f*&king point was the difference... my therapist says I'm doing better.
- What else? I'm interested in hearing from you... if you're not afraid to show your cards.
A very long way to go, but it will be an exciting season for sure. Get those payments in amigos... send me a confirmation that it is on the way and we'll count it as in prior to Sunday's race.
