So do we make new picks each week if we want or we just adjust if we want?
Or am I supposed to keep my guys and just change out the spare? Does prefer matter at all?

If we can select all new each week, here are my picks.


1. Ryan Blaney
2. Ross Chastain
3. Kurt Busch
4. Kyle Larson
5. Alex Bowman

X. William Byron

You can chose any picks or keep the same weekly. I might change mine with road races, but I like to see how my favorites do at various track styles. Be free to ask more questions or chat away. It is my first year hosting the picks and maybe 20 years of tying (joined Disboards in 2004).

The scoring might be late after the race. NC Beast has to go to the hospital tonight to start some medicine (infection went to a bone so in he goes for the night or maybe more nights).
