But I am the ultimate jinx.
I'm in a 40 person pool for the season, pick a driver every week, can only pick a driver twice in a season, and it's a season long points system where the top 5 at the end of the season get paid, so far on the year I've had:
Daytona- Stenhouse- leading with under 10 to go, gets wrecked
Fontana- Alex Bowman- solidly in the top 10, hits wall on last lap and drops to 20 something
Vegas- Logano- Don't remember the details, he just had a mediocre 14th place run
Phoenix- Harvick- Gets 8th, but got shuffled from second on the last restart
Atlanta- Ryan Blaney- finished 17th
COTA- Allmendinger- fighting for lead on last lap, gets wrecked and finishes outside the top 30
Richmond- Truex- 4th place, good run
Martinsville- Cole Custer- starts up front, stays there most of the race, gets a speeding penalty, finishes 20 something
Bristol- Austin Dillon- running in the top 10 all race, then gets too much dirt in the motor and it blows up
Dega- Brad Keselowski- Couldn't quit speeding on pit entry
Plan was to stay middle of the field until the midway point where I'd still have all the top drivers in play, but I'm 3rd from last, and pretty well eliminated from the money.
