CANE !!!

The biggest loser prize actually looks pretty cool. I would have expected it to be something like a lidless Olympia from the wind tunnel find. Thanks for donating it Chris.

@Alaska Chris
I think it will take more skill to try to hit a 20th place average than picking a winner every race....it'll be interesting.
....and yes that is a GREAT can donated by Chris!!

Maybe if I TRY to be the biggest loser, I might actually have a chance at winning this year!

Don't sell yourself short.....you are a TREMENDOUS biggest loser!!! I have a feeling, we will all be competing for that 20th place can!!

Listed below are the TOP 3 Finishers along with the Biggest Loser!

1st Place: @Beverlx 410 points
2nd Place: @Alaska Chris 425 points - Tie breaker goes to Most Wins (3)
3rd Place: @wpeters 425 points - Tie breaker goes to Most Wins (0)
Biggest Loser: @idigrust 530 points, participated in all 36 races and never double picked!!

Interesting STATS for the year....
Most Wins: @kamsquared (yours truly) - 5 wins total (but finished a dismal 9th.......)
Most Top 5s: @wpeters - 16
Most Top 10s: @wpeters - 23
Most Top 20s: @Beverlx - 31

Meteoric Rise to the TOP: Never give UP in this pool... @wpeters missed the 2nd race of the year and was still in 18th place on week 7.....by week 20 he was in 2nd place and ended up in the money on week 36!

Best Run of the Year: @Alaska Chris was never lower than 5th place since Daytona!!
@Beverlx took over 1st place on week 13 at Charlotte and never went below 2nd place after that......!

Worst Runs of the Year
These guys picked great drivers all year but couldn't get a break.....
@renokenn started in 15th at Daytona, moved ALL THE WAY up to 13th before finishing out in 16th. Here's a hint.....don't pick Danica Patrick just cuz she looks good in a swim suit.....
@Scott Rollert started in 13th at Daytona, moved up to 8th and finished in 14th........ Who would have thought Martin Truex would finish 37th
at Texas or AJ would crash out in Sonoma?!?!?

Thanks to all who participated and I hope you had a good time!

I hadn't followed NASCAR since junior high school until this pool came along. This year I got unlucky a little less than anyone else did. Salute to all who played.

That pretty green FIESTA PACK for me, please.

Thanks, @kamsquared!
Thanks, beercansplus!

Congratulations to all our winners!

This contest sure made watching the races this year a lot of fun. Already plotting my WINNING strategy for next season!

Congrats to the winners of 2018!

Our strategy based on the last 3 years should be to BAN @wpeters and @Alaska Chris from even playing!!
Along with Beamer and Beverlx....those guys are killing us!

Congrats to the winners and a big thank you to Kamsquared for running the show for us! You did an awesome job!

Thanks Kurt for handling this. I never followed NASCAR until this pool. My wife even calls me a redneck. Looking forward to next year.

Great cans from The Good Guys.......thank them for their support to the Chapter next time you see them at a show......

@kamsquared Actually I had a plan. Daytona/Talledega are crap shoots and Danica was as good as anybody. With that reasoning (doesn't mean it's good reasoning) and the idea you can't win if your pick is the same as everyone else, swimsuit model was it. Then with my amazing timing skills my driver of the week would finish 35th and the following week 1st. Taken me 70 some years to develop those skills and the reason why I can live in Nevada and never lose a nickel gambling.

As for the biggest loser, there is no excuse. I even had a spreadsheet with my picks so as not to double pick. Hint to self - look at the stupid spreadsheet!

All in all, it was fun. Thanks for putting it on.
