2014 Fantasy NASCAR: Round 36 Homestead

[jmacca]

I see your random number generator.

And I accept it. Book me in.

I see your random number generator.

And I accept it. Book me in.

We're up to 6 going with the random picks:

BKGlover, Carbonox, TheBook, FireEmblem10, Gerarghini, and jmacca.

 

[Furinkazen]

20/22/99. This won't end well.

You guys must have balls to be using the random number generator.

Everyone that used it last time scored more points than their original picks would have.

 

[Chqr]

Everyone that used it last time scored more points than their original picks would have.

Still won't sway my picks though, just yet.

If I could, I would put some serious downpayment on a wreck within the first 10 laps tomorrow night. All those aero-heavy cars at the front will cause utter mayhem sooner rather than later. Prime time, lights are on, slick racetrack and I'm predicting a 2010 Coke Zero 400 Big One.

 

[Carbonox]

Everyone that used it last time scored more points than their original picks would have.

And didn't the random draw, like, score about the 3rd most points at 'Dega?

 

[MustangRyan]

And didn't the random draw, like, score about the 3rd most points at 'Dega?

Yup. And the three drivers selected for this week would have scored exactly 100 points at Talladega, and topped the board (actual high score was 89). So, they would have been worth 200 for that round, since they had the would-be high score.

Something I heard in NNS pre-race(see "read the captions" as I was at a restaurant) is that the SAFER barrier now goes from turn three AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL the way around to turn two, leaving only the backstretch concrete exposed. That's 1/3 to 1/2 a lane taken away if true.

 

[TheBook]

For comparison's sake, I would have taken the 2/4/88 this week, had I not chosen the RNG picks. We'll see how these picks compare.

 

[MustangRyan]

@Dolph Drago, still able to copy my picks, even when I didn't post them...

I must be psychic.

 

[Chqr]

Do we get to see all the Random Number Generator picks?

Check the inbox conversation.

Also, glad to see Kenseth leading the easy laps early!

 

[Carbonox]

Yay! I now have an official reason to support Brian Vickers!

 

[Jahgee]

Going OK so far

 

[Jahgee]

As I say that

 

[Chqr]

Eurgh. I'm frustrated with my fantasy selections, I'd hate to think how frustrated I would be if I was a NASCAR team owner.

 

[Adamgp]

That didn't take long for 2 of my picks to be knocked out.

EDIT: Annnd there goes Biffle.

All 3 picks taken out in wrecks.

 

[MustangRyan]

If you have two cars running at the end, you will have had a decent day.

 

[MustangRyan]

I have three cars between sixth and nineteenth. Call it a race, already!

Random picks are currently 2nd, 10th, and 34th.


Kyle Busch flipped, is out of the race, and is still in 27th.

 

[The Bman]

10th, 29th, 33rd.

Sweet flying spaghetti monster, have I been running like crap this year.

 

[Jahgee]

Got 2 cars near/in the top 10, but still below the random picks in points

 

[TheBook]

2nd, 10th, 33rd. All things considered, I'll take it. Random picks actually worked.

 

[MustangRyan]

6th/14th/19th. No complaints.

 

[Blitz24]

I forgot who I picked but pretty sure my highest was 12th.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Way that race went I should have left it up to a gamble with the random number generator...

 

[MustangRyan]

I forgot who I picked but pretty sure my highest was 12th.

2/20/24.

 

[Jahgee]

So did the random picks get the most points?

 

[Blitz24]

12th, 18th, 20th.

Random generator had 2nd, 10th, 31st.
