NationwidePicks/Bristol Food City 300/Friday Night
 

Back to one of my favorite tracks this week. The Nationwide is just as exciting as the cup here. I don't have much of a rundown other than that.

I guess the question of the week is, what will I write on to tally up the score this week? Probably will be whatever is available at work since I'll probably tally the scores on my last break at work that night. So y'all will be spared the napkin this week LOL.

Hopefully we get some more people this week.

My picks are as follows:

Kyle Busch
Regan Smith
Trevor Bayne

I am never picking Trevor Bayne for anything again. I've re-analyzed that guy and y'know - I think he might kinda suck. It's awesome that he won the Daytona 500 and everything. But he hasn't done anything since in a lot of tries - at least at the Sprint Cup level. But even his Nationwide success has been mediocre and he certainly isn't the next big thing. He breaks a lot of stuff.

Chase is the next big thing. And he'll have to find his way around some established Sprint Cup talent this race

1. Chase Elliott
2. Kyle Larson
3. Kevin Harvick

I'll get my wife to make picks this week too

I guess with the limited number of Ford's in the event, I've only got a few options.....

I'm surprised Joey Logano or Brad Keselowski isn't going to run this thing in the 22... they're giving the wheel to Blaney.

Blaney ran 7th here two years ago for Tommy Baldwin and ran 4th in the spring for Penske. Those are good numbers but Bristol has a "wild factor to it as well.


Trevor Bayne has 5 years worth of statistics for this place! I kind of forgot he used to be a development driver for Michael Waltrip.

1) Ryan Blaney
2) Chris Buescher
3) Trevor Bayne

Anyone else who wants in, don't forget the Nationwide is tonight!

Chase Elliott
Ty Dillon
Kevin Harvick

My Picks
 

Nationwide
#1 Harvick
#2 Dillon
#3 Elliott

Bayne won 2-3 nationwide races, and hasn't been great at restrict or plates since the went away from 2 cad tandem. I wonder if his stats c are just part of the grand scheme of issues at Roush though. BUESCHER has shown some flashes of brilliance with an ARCA title and several top 10s. Ryan Reed has a cool tale of perseverance racing with severe diabetes but hasn't shown consistency. I do believe in BUESCHER though

Stupid phone capitalizes BUESCHER every time I type it

Yeah I'll be listening to it after I get back from lunch in a few minutes. Probably will tally scores during my last break at 1040

Quit yellin' BUESCHER!

I've got some fond memories of driving the torino around this track. I posted the video in the cup thread. Brent doesn't need to watch cause he was there!

Lots of other good discussion there too... superstitious 48 team and all

But we got a nationwide race to run first.

Sadler is proving why he doesn't run cup cars anymore

Sadler is novel to watch. He does more damage to himself than anyone else tho...

Awww he is pulling off the track.... that may he the end of the cautions.....

I was lookin' pretty good there...

Dang my pick just clobbered Brent picks

Brent we need to go behind the virtual rvs and settle this... maybe the vendor section below this thread.... no one has been there since August 6....

Then my white mustang causes the 3 to lose spots... going to be lots of people down in the vendor section wantingca, piece of me!

Damn! Sure the 22 jumped the start but nascar made no call. My pick plowed up everyone else's to win that race though.


I hope they make a race win version of this one.... I want a Marcos ambrose Watkins Glen and Chris BUESCHER mid Ohio car too!

I can't see how that final restart was legit. Tho I hate to defend Pyle Buschit

My other picks were too crappy for me to have won this one though. Love watching white mustangs win thiugh!

Ok here we go.

I'll clean it up when I get home from work. The PRN announcer chick sounded kinda cute LOL

Congrats to 02 Earnhardt Monte Carlo SS for winning The Food City 300! He broke the tie by picking the correct finishing order of the same three drivers.

thanks! glad i decided to make picks!
