Well I see I screwed the pooch on this one and picked a top 12 guy as a LS. Oh well

Gentlemen,
 
     That was a good race.  But this next time I'm thinking about having a "special: pick for:  How many places can Bubba Wallace lose by pit problems?
     And Yes Hamlin did jump the start.
     
     We had one person pick the actual winner of the race.  That was Hendey Lathe, picking:  Denny Hamlin.
     We had one person pick the actual Best Long Shot.  That was Hendey Lathe, picking:  Joey Logano.
     And we had 2 people come closest to picking the actual 1st Out.  They were Fishin' Coyote and me, Picking: Zane Smith.
     And Big Congratulations go out to  this weeks Best Picker, and NASCAR God of the Week:  Hendey Lathe!  With a great 90 points!
     Congratulations!.
