2014 Fantasy NASCAR: Round 36 Homestead

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

3rd, 4th and 11th I almost won it but Kenseth fell off

 

[Niop]

2nd, 3rd, 36th.

 

[Gerarghini]

Did a gamble...

11th, 35th, 36th

And lost horribly. Do I win the accolade for lowest points earned this round

 

[Earth]

3rd, 35th, 36th

It happens

 

[Dolph Drago]

3rd, 11th, Kyle.

I knew my streak of picking the winner had to end some time. I think Kenseth may have had a chance for the win had he pitted on the last caution. Those Penske cars were strong though. Oh well.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Well looks like a good weekend for me

 

[BKGlover]

From the sound of it, my thoughtless picking may not have been terrible.

 

[Adamgp]

6th, 12th, 21st.

Could have been worse.

Round 24 Results:

Legend:
GREEN BOX = Race win - gained 1 Consecutive Pick
RED BOX = Driver failed to finish - can be used next week without using CP
(CP) = Consecutive Pick used for selection
(P10) = 10 point penalty for selection, no CP available for this pick


Notes:

No new entries are being allowed at this time, as we are more than halfway through the regular season.

The Consecutive Pick for most points scored in round 24 was won by @FireEmblem10.

Three entries received 2 bonus points for picking pole-winner Kevin Harvick before qualifying.

Three entries received a Consecutive Pick for picking race winner Joey Logano.

Three Consecutive Picks were spent this week.

@Wilbur did not submit picks this week. All of his picks were scored based on last round's picks, and a 10 point penalty was assessed for each driver, if CPs weren't available.

No one picked Paul Menard (9th place) or Greg Biffle (10th).

One person picked Kurt Busch (5th), Ricky Stenhouse Jr (6th), and Jamie McMurray (8th).

Two people picked Carl Edwards (7th).

Points earned from the Truck Series and Nationwide Series bonus picks were added in the Bonus Points column, and were not calculated for the CP for scoring the highest point total this week.

This week's average score was 84 points.



Please let me know if you see any errors in anyone's score. Scoring errors will only be corrected up until the start of the next race.

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Yay, back in the Chase after a solid points score 👍

 

[Spacegoat]

Needed that win and picked up an extra CP too, courtesy of the NNS race which will come in handy for later. Nice result.

 

[BKGlover]

Okay, lets review. All the weeks I have tried to make intelligent picks, I end up with a below average score. The weeks where I don't, I come out ahead. What kind of logic is this?

 

[The Bman]

This week was a complete abomination. I'm quite sure I only had one other race with worse points.

 

[Gerarghini]

Whaddya know, looks like I did receive the lowest points this round. Nevermind, didn't see that 24.

At this point, I gotta be in it 2 win it.

 

[MustangRyan]

Whaddya know, looks like I did receive the lowest points this round.

Look up two rows.

 

[Carbonox]

I know it's totally stupid, but I got the feeling I'd invest in 4/5/11 this week.

 

[Wilbur]

I ment to put in picks but forgot before I headed to Bristol. It was a crazy weekend from traveling alot and having a freak of nature happen when my car got night friday night after the NW race waiting to leave (I'm still waiting to have it fixed in Bristol).

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Going with 24, 48 and 88 in Atlanta this weekend

 

[TheBook]

2/4/42.

 

[Spacegoat]

#20 Matt Kenseth.
