My brother and I pick drivers each week for a small wager, thought I would post our picks with some analysis. We have both watched NASCAR since we were kids, the early/mid 80's. We have been picking drivers against each other for over 20 years. My brother follows NASCAR a bit closer than I do, he will watch practice, listen to what the drivers say. He also picks drivers with one of his friends,, I will try and post those picks also.
We rotate weeks on who picks first,, we pick 3 drivers a piece,, whoever has the best finishing driver of our first 3 picks wins a unit. we then take one driver a piece for a unit. So pretty much,, either you split or win/lose 2 units. Mybrother is up on me 9 units this so far this year

Duffer- I live in the deep south where Nascar is king. I've never really enjoyed it, but I haven't been to a race yet. I've enjoyed your posts the last few weeks and have been trying to handicap along with you. I'm looking at Kenseth, JR, Logano and maybe a flyer on mcmurray this week. What do you think about those?
