NASCAR Picks of the Week 2022 - Kansas September Race.

Gentlemen,
     
     This week the NASCAR Tour heads to Kansas Speedway.  It's a mile and a half track, without a lot of banking.
     Wind can be a real problem here, as can rain.
     Tire wear should be good, so pit strategy will play a big part, and if it goes long, fuel could be a problem.
     The bottom 4 of the Top 16 are the ones most in danger of not making the cut.
 
Here's the Top 16
 
1.  Joey Logano                                                          2.  William Byron
3.  Denny Hamlin                                                        4.  Christopher Bell
5.  Tyler Reddick                                                         6.  Ryan Blaney
7.  Kyle Larson                                                           8.  Ross Chastain
9.  Chase Elliott                                                         10.  Alex Bowman
11.  Kyle Busch                                                         12.  Daniel Saurez
13.  Austin Cindrick *                                                14.  Austin Dillion *
15.  Chase Briscoe *                                                  16.  Kevin Harvick *
 
     Here's My Picks:
          Winner:  Joey Logano
               Long Shot:  Bubba Wallace
                    1st Out:  JJ Yeley
 
   Good Luck!  And remember to keep your hands and feet inside the recliner when it's in motion.

Gentlemen,
      That must have been some race.  I only got to watch it till 1/2 way thru the 2d stage, before I was invaded by small creatures, who wanted me to play, and fix toys, and feed them.  LOL
     I thought tires weren't going to be a problem.  It seems that to make up for the lack of banking, the crews were cranking in a LOT of camber in the right front, and esp the right rear tires.  Can you say pop!
     Bubba Wallace won.  And that makes two playoff races have been won by non-chasers.  Next week will be really combative, and it's at Bristol, AND It's the Night Race on Saturday Night.  Wow will it be a tough one.
 
     We had one person come closest to picking the winner.  That was Bigfoot, picking: Denny Hamlin, who finished 2d.
     We had 5 people pick the Best Long Shot.  They were: Me, Bigfoot, Fishin' Coyote, Timachro, and Dano.  We all picked Bubba Wallace, who Won the race.
     And we had three people come closest to picking the 1st Out.  They were:  Wood Nickle, Fishin' Coyote and Dano.  All Picking:  BJ MeLeod
 
     And congratulations go out to this weeks' Best Picker, and NASCAR God of the Week: Bigfoot! with a very good 83 points.
     Congratulations!!
     Here's How We Scored:
 
1.  Bigfoot ********************************************************************  83
2.  Timachro ***************************************************************  75
3.  Indsguiz ***********************************************************  69
4,  Wood Nickle *******************************************************  67

6.  Bloody Hand *************************************  49 t/b
