Before I get to the player by player rundown I wan't to thank you for your patience in waiting so long for the results but the Apple support team came through and I kept all my data.
A few of Facts about this years game.
Lowest Score: 16. Mtowmn at First Phoenix, Jmardjfan at Texas, and Grandmaoffive at Second Phoenix
Highest Winning Score: 97 at Talladega it was a tie between Diane and Rudy
Number of Ties: 2 Talladega (Diane and Rudy), Second Dover (Fire21 and Blueduecefan)
Okay here's how the players placed.
21. 7194 Sweetthangpat, came in last place by only playing 2 weeks. I hope she plays more next year
20. 3817 JaminT5, our fearless leader only played 29 weeks and that kept him from finishing higher. I would love him to play more next year.
19. 3296 Smokewillrise14, Well Smoke would be proud of someone who supported his team every week. He was loyal to his drivers and they kind of let him down in the race game. Well Harvick didn't let him down but almost no one kept up with Harvick this year.
18. 3052 Beth99fan, She was hot and cold and only played 35 weeks which hurts in the standings. Beth had 3 wins at Fontana, First race at Texas, and second race at Kansas. Beth has always been a good player and if she playes every game next year she will probably be in the hunt.
17. 2852 Jerry, He probably has to hear it from Diane because she finished ahead of him in the standings, but hang in there, there is always next year.
16. 2630 Diane44fan, Is another player who kind of sticks with her guys, with a little adjustment, she would claim to have the basement parties but she had 3 wins so she can hold her own with anyone any given week Her wins came at Loudon, Indy, and Talladega (tie with Rudy). Love her posts and great attitude. It's always fun to read her posts.
15. 2603 Davishaus, is a former Champion who missed one week and by her average score would have finished 8th had she played every week. Always one to contend for the win. She had 2 wins at Martinsville and Darlington. She is strong player and we better be watching out for her next year.
14. 2577 Rudy088, is also a former Champion who played this game very well. Very competitive and one to contend every week. She had 2 wins which both came at Talladega, now how the heck did she to that. That's the hardest game to pick and she won em both. (one was a tie with Diane)
13. 2576 88cars38 had 1 win this year at Atlanta. She was down a bit this year compared to prior seasons. So keep a watch out for improvement next year.
12. 2558 Chris18, Chris was also one who is rather loyal to her guys. She has the guts to pick her guy every week and as Gibbs fate went, so did Chris'. Fun player with a great attitude. She won 1 race, the second race at Daytona.
11. 2536 Nanacheri44, what can I say about Nana, she always makes me smile, It is a pleasure to play this game with her week after week, she has her favorites too and is rather loyal to them. She did have 3 wins, the first Bristol race, Watkins Glen (it figures, because she is there almost every year), and Martinsville. Always good natured, I'd like to go to New York to watch a race with her sometime but she'd be wearing all that Tony stuff. LOL!!!
10. 2513 Kevin, he is also a former Champion who had a down year compared to his usual scores, Sure glad he plays this game with us. being in the top 10 without wins means he is consistent, which he is. Looking forward to see how he shakes out next year.
9. 2502 Dicky, he is another one who doesn't post much but we love it that he plays the game. He is another consistent player who has the bragging rights in his house, by finishing ahead of Chris.
8. 2487 Spoiler57719, is one of the strongest players in the game. Being out of the hunt for the Championship makes me think it was a weird year to pick because She always is challenging for the lead. I will be very surprised if She ain't close to the top of the heap next year.
7. 2451 Jmardjfan, is another one who had an off year compared to what we expect of him. More proof of a weird year. He is always in the hunt. With a 16 at Texas, he posted the lowest score of the year only 1 away from perfect. Only two others accomplished that feat this year. While we fight the winter he is soaking up that California sun all winter, so he'll probably come in hot for the next season. Watch out for Jmar.
6. 2409 Cathy88, hasn't been playing as long as some others but you'd never know it by the way she plays, very good picks and had a win at Pocono. 6th place with 1 win shows she didn't have many bad weeks. I expect her to be toward the top of the standings next year.
5. 2349 Blueduecefan, might be kind of new to the game but he's not new to Nascar. That is obvious by his picks. He won right out of the gate at Daytona. He won 4 times all together with his other wins coming at Las Vegas, Second Pocono race, and Second Race at Dover. Had a strong start and kept up the pace with a nice top 5 finish.
4. 2342 Sandstorm88, at one point had the lead in this game but fell off a cliff toward the end. 2 wins at Kentucky and Michigan.
3. 2329 Grandmaoffive, all I can say is Wow, I've never seen anyone finish 3rd in this game, only playing 35 weeks. Average finish of 60.69 was only bested by the winner this year and if she had played every week with this average would have only lost by 8 points. Many times I will be calculating my picks and think, wonder what Grandmaoffive picked. She is that good. Ilene mentioned a time or two watch out for Grandma, she is coming up, and brother was she ever. She had 4 wins at Michigan, Sonoma, Charlotte, and set a low score with 16 at Phoenix, What a year. I can hardly wait to see how she does next year. Super player.
2. 2228 Mtwomn, well the world seem right now with Mtwomn competing for the win. Very calculating with very strong picks. Time after time I would see her picks and think, I've got her covered just to be surprised by how well her pick did that no one else saw the value in. At one time She and I and Fire were within a few points of each other and only she would challenge that great run he made. She was a little off her game last year by her normal standards but once she found her Crystal Ball it was game on. She won the most races with 6 at Phoenix (with the other 16 score), Richmond, First Kansas Race, First Dover race, Second Loudon race, and finished strong by winning the last race at Homestead. Dang she is good. Would someone hide her crystal ball so I would have a chance? LOL.
1. 2177 Fire21, Man oh man Fire was living up to his name because he was HOT. Around the last half of the season he changed his picks to the same guys every week. I've never seen this be an effective strategy in this game but Ol Fire made it work. I can't believe 5 drivers can stay so hot. He rode em to the finish blazing a path the no one could keep up with. At one point I thought I was in this thing but Fire just kept on keeping on. At one time Fire picked all his favorite drivers (all driving Fords), but when he decided to get serious about this, he was a big time player. He has come close to winning this thing before and now he blew us all away. He had the Best average score of anyone. It was a dominating year. He had 5 wins at Charlotte, Second Bristol race, Second Richmond Race, Chicago, and Second Dover race (tied with Blueduece). I know amazing is an over used word but it sure describes Fire in 2014. I'm not sure whether to bring a fire extinguisher, next year or just buy Voodoo dolls of his drivers, but I don't think I can out pick him. Congratulations on a great year. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
I just want to say thanks to all of you who played. I hope those who played some will play more. I really enjoyed the game and I love this game for helping me stay interested in Nascar. I appreciate all of you for your patience with me being so slow getting this results page up. I want to give a special thanks to Ilene for having by back every single week. She kept me on my toes and corrected me when I goofed up. She is quite a womn.
