I like the C list. Berry, Nemechek, and Hocevar will run consistently in the 15-20 range. Jimmie Johnson will do much better than he did last year now that LMC will be getting a lot of support from Toyota. And you've got the road course guys. David Ragan should do well at Daytona. I think it's the best pool of C drivers in years to be honest.

well, if it's the best pool in years, scores will be up from last years list.
stenhouse - 1 win / 9 top 10's
ty gibbs - 10 top 10's
dinger - 1 win / 7 top 10's
van gisbergen 2 starts / 1 win / 2 top 10's

we used to get the B driver who had an awful year dropping down to C.
would think Austin Dillon could have dropped to C with 29th in points for 2023 and only 20 races on the lead lap at the end.

I agree about Dillon, and I don't think he will be much better this year. Hope I'm wrong because I'd like to see RCR succeed.
Van Gisbergen and Allmendinger are both in the C's as well this year, so that adds to the pool.

Time will tell but I think it'll be a good group overall

I like the C group better than the B group-I can come up with 36 decent starts in the C group easier than 72 in the B group. The A group--to many in it for 36 starts. Just my opinion. Play the game, have fun and luck will prevail. I'm just happy to play.

Honestly, I don't think Kyle Busch is really an A driver right now, and not because of his talent. I know he won 3 races last year and while he is as good as anybody out there, his team isn't. I don't see him being an A driver I'll use much but I totally get why he is in the A category.

Commish can make A, B, C to their liking. With 36 starts for the year I have just 6 drivers in my leagues A group (9starts each), 12 in my B group only full time drivers in my C group, then add back drivers like van gisbergen and Johnson if the are entered for the race

Got to be honest, I hope this is a mistake

I was just commenting, nothing was directed at you.

all good.
i didn't notice the changes because i was waiting for the duels before roster making.
i made my new spreadsheets for 2024 with the groupings based on post 1.
Darren didn't say anything about changing them to me.
now i'll have to make changes to my spreadsheets.
texting Darren yesterday, he's still thinking about changes, so until lock at daytona, i'm waiting.
