KenJennings Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 I think the Buescher pick was never removed after you corrected the Buescher/Bayne mix-up. I had chosen Bayne but you initially listed my pick as Buescher. You do have Buescher available. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus 2112 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'll take Austin Dillon, and pray for a good week, while Racer X crashes on lap one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) RacerX has Trevor Bayne this week. I'm going to change my pick to Bayne too. Shame to leave Jimmie on the bench, but it guarantees I make the postseason. Only thing I sacrifice is a chance to make ground on the lead.

Rumors have Kenseth or Almirola going to the 10.It won't be the same without her. :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: I don't get why anyone would take Almirola over Kenseth but apparently he can bring Smithfield with him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 So I went to log my votes for Most Popular Driver today, and it was fairly easy to get through the Truck and Xfinity series votes... but when I got to Cup, I stopped and looked at the list for a good long while, and I realized... ...I don't really have a favorite driver anymore. I grew up a huge fan of Dale Earnhardt, and then over the years; Steve Park, Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick. So in past years, it easily would've been Tony Stewart or Kevin Harvick. But with Tony retired, I went to Harvick, and saw that damned blue oval on his uniform. Without carrying the banner for GM, Harvick kinda blends back into the mix... so I kept scrolling... I stopped at Larson for a while... but I just... I dunno. I like Larson, and I think very highly of him as a racer, but I haven't seen the engaging energy out of him yet that would get me rooting for him. So I scrolled further, and stopped at Dale Jr... Now, I've always liked Jr. He's about as classy as they come, and he's a wonderful representative of the sport. But I've just honestly never felt he was the talent that I want him to be. Like him as much I do, and as much as I feel that he's a fine racer, and a great guy, I couldn't pull the trigger. So I went on and stopped just for a minute at MTJ, world class guy, huge talent, likable, everything going for him. Toyota. No. Nooooo. Along the way a couple names jumped out at me... I love Suarez, but hate Gibbs. I really dig Blaney, but want to see how he develops for a while. Chase Elliott is alright, but he bores me... And then I got to Brad Keselowski. I don't know why I just didn't go there from the beginning. Probably cause he drives a Ford... Hell, if he was in a Chevrolet, he'd have been my favorite driver for years. Harvick's been my favorite for a few years... but if they're both gonna be driving for Ford, why not? I love his passion, I love his honesty, I think the world of his talent and commitment to excellence. I think his unique approach and intelligence are second to none. So I ended up voting Brad. And on top of it all, he's the only driver I've ever encountered that listens Rush! I didn't expect to vote Keselowski as my favorite... but I guess he is. There's just no way I'm going to start drinking Miller. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesweetscience Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I grew up a bill Elliott fan so I have a soft spot for Chase. But I also like Brad for many of the same reasons you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Assuming we're open to re-use drivers, I'm picking Brad Keselowski for his 3rd time the charm win at Chicagoland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
