Pretty much because NASCAR just seems like a lottery, I just closed my eyes and clicked somewhere.

I did the thing, good luck everyone

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Submitted my votes, knowing my luck all my chosen drivers will fail to finish.

 

[Furinkazen]

Entered!

Doneski...

Good format, I wonder if this could be the basis for something bigger. There's normally multiple races to bet on each weekend

I thought about it and decided it was more special to have it be a 1 weekend competition.

Plus, I may do something for Le Mans so that will take up a bit of time.

 

[optiongamers]

Submitted my vote and since I don't know much about nascar or indycar I won't be suprised if I picked backmarkers.

 

[Northstar]

I won't be suprised if I picked backmarkers.

I wouldn't be surprised if either driver won actually.

 

[tbwhhs]

Entered. The way fantasy games have been going this year, that was probably the kiss of death for my picks.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

The N24 is also this weekend but I guess that's not as important.

I'll cast my vote when I've done my research of past winners and current season performance.

 

[aarror]

Entered, but since I don't watch Nascar I just went with Jimmie Johnson cause I'm pretty sure he wins all the time With potential rain at Monaco, and Indy and Nascar being a bit of a crapshoot due to the length, I'll be shocked (and impressed) if someone gets all 3 winners.

Picks submitted. 👍

That might take some time to input

 

[Northstar]

The N24 is also this weekend but I guess that's not as important.

I went back and forth on whether to include it. In the end I decided not to as it would have just been the top class, which I didn't feel did the race justice.

 

[GTRacer22]

Sent in my picks, we'll see how it goes down this weekend. 👍

 

[Kingofweasles]

Signed up and entry for submitted. I think my F1 pick will play out, but I took some chances with Indy and The Coke 600 picks.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Turned mine in. Funny enough, another site I'm on is doing pretty much the same thing, so I went with the same picks from over there. Hope they pay off!

 

[Northstar]

There's 12 hours until the deadline for entries.

My selections are:

F1: 6 - Nico Rosberg
Indy: 22- Simon Pagenaud
600: 78 - Martin Truex Jr.

 

[GTRacer22]

Well, one race (and wrong pick) down...

 

[MatskiMonk]

Welp, that puts me on 9 points so far

Just need Monty to win the Indy 500 (which I'll be happy enough about anyway to be honest), and Kevin Harvick to win the NASCAR.

 

[IforceV8]

1 win for me taking Louise but I forgot who I picked for Indy and the 600. I think/know I took a Chevy and Toyota driver but??

Standings after the Monaco Grand Prix

 

[MatskiMonk]

@Northstar Rosberg finished 6th, according to OP, that's 9 points... isn't it?

 

[Northstar]

@Northstar Rosberg finished 6th, according to OP, that's 9 points... isn't is?

Formula1.com has him as 7th, if that changes I will update the standings.

 

[GTRacer22]

@Northstar Rosberg finished 6th, according to OP, that's 9 points... isn't it?

He got passed right at the finish. 7th place finish.

To be fair, I was hoping you were right.
