Please let Denny Hamlin be right.

truck pricing is really tight this week, very limited options under 7K. A lot of crap trucks in this field.

$5K Sun NAS Go-Kart (Only $0.25 to Enter)
0 OF 150 USED
Sun 2:00pm ET
FIREKEEPERS CASINO 400
3,163 of 23,952
13% FULL
$5,000
GUARANTEED IN PRIZES

Summary =========== pretty much 0 incentive to even play it on poor ole FD

the $1 single entry is $2.5K — insane

Just curious – why do you say no reason to play it? My bad if this is obvious, I’m just getting into Nascar.

He is saying there isn’t much value IMO

Man this thread is dead — maybe VROOM-VROOM is always this way. Just decided to play this week.

GENERALLY speaking, to answer your ? — and I haven’t hit this thread up since I posted a couple days ago, but….

Both FD and DK know that RG here only tracks $5K GPP PRIZE POOLs and larger…I just hate seeing offerings all the time of $4K (MLB) and below GPPs as well as VROOM VROOM the single-entry being just $2.5K — I threw in a couple quarters in the $5K 25c GPP, but they are paying a horrid 5% to first at $250 sted of $500

and once again, for today’s contest (at least in the 25c) on FD — they have a $0.60 cashing tier, which should NEVER EVER be in a GPP — should go from $0.50 to $0.75 ………….

Also, once NASCAR went away from what I considered real racing to the stupid STAGES crap, it just rubbed me the wrong way. I still don’t like, but every1 is playing the same game.

ANYWAY — really thought there would be more banter, but I guess not. PICK n PRAY time!

P.S. – A perfect example of what I call crap GPPs (Like the $1 FD single entry Michigan race today….I get it if no one is playing then you can’t make ‘em bigger b/c then they would have OVERLAY) — but in Saturday’s early MLB 3-game slate they made a $2 single entry $9K GPP — for a 3-game slate —- AND IT FILLED!

But ALAS — the good solid night regular MLB slate on Saturday, what’s FD do? They have a sub $5K (it was $4k or $3K) — $2 single entry, MLB… I miss the days when they would have 100,000+entry $1 Sac-Fly GPPs…… I can’t stand the quarters, b/c unless ur @ 99.98%+ ur not making squat……

just locked but we’re still some time away

NASCAR shooting for national anthem at 2:45.

Let’s get this thing started since we are locked is everyone liking?

little bit of time killing

https://twitter.com/HailieDeegan

race is 5 PM EDT Monday.

Why 5 PM? The women’s world cup is on all day until 5 PM so FOX needed it to be after

nice , ill be able to watch it after work

And we wait …

same a lot of people on twitter were upset, but it works out perfectly for my schedule

on a side tangent, I wish Nascar would try one of the night races during the week like a Thursday, and run it shorter like 300 miles. I think the viewership would be way up compared to a Sunday Afternoon, at least on TV

hope this race continues like this

but i know it wont lol

Ouch Harvick…

Almirola killin’ me

maybe he starting saving gas

i need him too

got up to 6 th

pit row penealty

uggh

Whew they waived* Almirola’s penalty off

And Bowyer goes down, and Bowyer goes down!

Jones giveth and Jones taketh away

Logano dominated the whole damn race … Bowyer and Jones going down hurt … elliott killed me as well.

Bubbled by 1 stinkin’ point. Lots of back and forth though, that’s for sure!

cleaned up some cfl ticks today. havnt played nascar in quite some time, but Im going all in for cfl this week. Put up 310! Wish i entered that into some big money contests lol
