I'm gonna borrow this from Mike,

Pick the amount of cars based on the place you are picking (based on your finish in the last race), if you pick 2nd pick 2 cars, 5th 5 cars, and so on.

Place the driver who you want the most at the top, 2nd most 2nd, and so on until you fill the list based on how many you need.

As I gather the list I will mark off cars from your list that have been taken. I will then take the driver who is highest on your list, that is left.

Please send me a PM with your picks. We are all members here at OS, and it's much easier to deal with it all in one place.

If I mess up, please let me know ASAP.

Please don't submit your picks on this thread, unless you want everyone in front of you to know who you really want.

Finally, don't forget to have fun.

Unfortunately I am not going to be able to make the race this time around due to work, which really sucks because this will be Jr's last race in Phoenix. I am looking forward to seeing a race with the new configuration, which is supposed to be next November. It is supposed to be the most technologically advanced track next to Daytona when it's completed. They will be moving the stands from the current front stretch, around turns 1 and 2 in to the back stretch (almost like the old stands). The start finish line will also be moved to where the dog leg is.

I thought the new configuration was this November?

Re: OSFC 2017 - Phoenix (Race 35 of 36)

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it is November 18. I was there this past weekend. They are coming along well on extending the stands, but the flag stand is still on the current front stretch.

Yeah, I ended up looking it up and it is 18. Could've sworn they said this year a while back though.

Anyway, I'll take the #2 Brad Keselowski this week.

Cool to see Kenseth win one more time!

Congrats on the 2nd place Proof

Looks like going into the final it will be Proof leading polyduster by 7 points with yroger 28 back and Bighoff 40 back.

I'm not sure how many runner-up finishes Elliott has had this season, but he's had a ton of chances the last couple months. It won't surprise me if he wins 4 or 5 in 2018.

Btw, thanks for the cherry on top to my season #42. Appreciate it! Haha

Man, Larson has been snake-bitten to the max the last month. What's that, 4 straight DNFs or 30th or worse finishes?

Re: OSFC 2017 - Phoenix (Race 35 of 36)

Yeah, he's looked pretty deflated since the race that eliminated him. It's unfortunate because it would've been fun to watch him battle with Truex for the title like he battled the first 7 or so months of the season.
