Intro and Remidners about points for this race

We're going into our 4th season here of MCF Fantasy racing. We start out with the Shootout, a chance to get some momentum and the pride of having won a Daytona race under your belt before the season! Remember, we pick these non points races (Shootout and the Duels) for fun, and for pride. Points will not start until we begin picking for the Daytona 500!!


Thoughts on 2014

I'm not going to break it down team by team, but I will say the Childress cars showed a lot of speed (whether by design or by luck or whatever) in speed weeks. We've got a practically new line up at Stewart Haas, we got the strong as ever Hendrick cars, and the 'Yotas were fast. the Ford's still aren't showing much speed yet, seems to be a hangover from 2013 for them guys, at least on the speed charts.


But we know a wrong turn, a loose wheel, a bad engine, or a car crash in front of you could just ruin your whole night anyway.


That being said, below is an entry list from NASCAR.com, and is the starting order if points are set by 2013 points. Some of htese drivers toward the bottom may not actually enter the race.

Matt Kenseth
Kevin Harvick

Jeff Gordon

How should I make my picks?

Picks/Daytona - YouTube

1) Joey Logano
2) Carl Edwards
3) Brad Keselowski

 

Anyone interested in picking the fastest cars for pole day? Same system, we just pick 3 and roll... no bonus points... 46 points for picking pole sitting, 43-position qualified for every position after that

 

I'll go with the #3 then 48 then 88

 

If your gonna go with all Fords then you might as well be sitting this season out! You'd have better luck drawing from a hat!

I'm excited to be picking again. It's been a while. Ima gonna go:

1. 88 Dale Jr.
2. 1 Jamie McMurray
3. 18 Pyle Buschit

That rule about not picking him is gone! And he can be good in these short *****-out dashes. My perception of Pyle hasn't really changed that much.

Is anyone not gonna pick Jr?

 

1) Kevin Harvick
2) Dale JR
3) Deny Hamlin

 

#3 isn't in the shootout... didn't win a pole last eyar....

 

Jimmie Johnson
Matt Kenseth
Brad Keselowski

 

My bad still going with the #3 #48 then #88 for the 500

 

1) Dale Jr.
2) Tony Stewart
3) Kevin Harvick

 

We'll have that thread up sometime Sunday I believe... and duels will have a separate thread! :-P
