I agree about practice (KB8).. Bowman, I don't know what it is about him but, he burns me A LOT !!!
I have a hard time trusting him... JMO though.... Now he will probably win the race. LOL

I have the 8 on most of my DGG picks— on another contest I left him off- Logano,, Chastain, Bryon, Larson could also be top 5 IMO , but yes I agree the #8 has high potential.— other drivers as well.
i'm officially in "save mode" for Kyle. i've used him last week and want to save 4 starts for the chase, so he better be awesome in practice and a top 5 qualifier to get a precious start until the chase.

It sounds good in theory. Sometimes it works out, however I have gotten burned a few times. Do I still do it— yeah, but there is something to be said for going with the hot hand.

You’re both right! I’ve got him on a few things but with my fingers crossed!

Good luck everyone! I don’t feel great about my picks!
I never feel great about my picks.. My wife always say's there should be a contest for picking the first driver out of the race or the first driver with problems, than I would win a lot more....
Good luck this week....

No additional cars to the rear after teams did checks this morning. Reddick, McLeod and Burton to the rear but already in the back since they didn’t make qualifying laps.

As usual, it looks like my picks are going to pot on the last pit stop,

Totally agree, there was not historical data to support his dominating this one mile and a half track. So I did not choose him. Damn, if data is not relevant then I will not do well.
yeah, thank god for relevant data. i had Byron as my A starter.
95 DGG points at kansas last fall.
102 DGG points at texas last fall
102 DGG points at homestead last fall.
those seem to be 1.5 milers and today was 1.5 miles. hmmmnnn worth a shot today.
oh wait, you were making the point the other way to not use him. good thing i did.

I did not start Byron a lot in DDG, but decided to start the 24 instead of the #8 in a pay league.— not sure how I did with my other picks in that game!

Good strategy! I don't see all 1.5 mile tracks as being created equal with different banking, etc. Maybe if you're good at one you're good at all?
byron always does just enough to make the chase and then they seem to coast until the final 10 races.
probably will use him about 4 more times until the chase starts, so i have some left.

in a few years, if they quit putting out a new car every 2 years, i'll revert back to 3 of the best 4 finishes from each track.
it's just too hard with all the changes, so my spreadsheet is loaded with track types for the most part for now.

I think two of the biggest differences in 1.5 tracks is banking and tire wear— imo!
My picks always suck for the first six or so races. This year is pretty much true to form! Hoping it improves!

Totally agree! I'm wondering if this new car has blurred those differences though.
