OPR Staff and Fans Fantasy Results for NSCS at Michigan

Jeff Gordon would get the race lead on a restart with 17 laps to go and never looked back as he cruised to his 91st career victory.

The Picks

Ashley McCubbin picked Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson. Jeff Gordon ran a strong race all day and was able to walk away from Michigan with a win and the regained point lead. Jimmie Johnson had his fair share of problems at Michigan, but he was able to record his best finish in a few weeks – ninth. Kevin Harvick was there at the end, but was only able to bring home the second place finish. Points – 47+42+36=125

Tayler Stiles picked Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon. Brad Keselowski wasn’t nearly as fast as some expected him to be at Michigan, and after a run in with the wall, Brad Keselowski finished eighth. Kyle Busch was only four laps into the race when he also hit the wall. He immediately went to the garage and came back out 43^rd. Incidents in the race were able to improve his finishing position, and he wheeled it home in a dismal 39^th place. Points 5+37+47=89

Kreistina Blinova did not file her picks so we will go last week’s Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Despite having a slight incident on pit road, Dale Jr was able to rally and finished fifth. Points – 47+40+36=123

Ronald Costigan picked Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Points – 47+40+36=123

Marshall Gabell picked Kasey Kahne, Clint Bowyer and Ryan Newman. Ryan Newman had a phenomenal day ahead of him until a restart towards the end of the race shuffled him back a bit relegating him to a eleventh place finish. Kasey Kahne had a dismal day as well and finished back in the 16^th Clint Bowyer had a relatively quiet day, but was able to finish in the sixth position. Points – 38+34+29=101

Justin Tucker picked Kyle Larson, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Kyle Larson began his day in the same boat as Earnhardt Jr after an incident on pit road, but his day didn’t get any better unlike Jr’s. Kyle Larson’s day ended after another incident – this time on track – relegating him to a 43^rd finishing position. Points – 1+40+36=77

Kyle Magda picked Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick and Jimmie Johnson. Points – 36+42+37=115

Terry Wagner picked Brad Keselowski, Greg Biffle and Joey Logano. Logano led the most amount of laps at Michigan, but after a few restarts that did his car no justice, Logano was relegated to a third place finish. Biffle was another driver who never made much noise during the race, and he finished in the tenth place. Points – 37+34+43=114

Christina Cordner picked Jimmie Johnson, Brian Vickers and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Vickers had a late race spin and was only able to race to a 19^th place finish. Points – 25+40+36=101

Billy Stiles Jr. picked Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Points – 40+36+42=118

Billy Zardo picked Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Points – 40+37+5=82

Joni Stiles picked Kasey Kahne, Kurt Busch and Martin Truex Jr. Busch was contending for the lead when he smacked the wall late in the race leading to a 31^st place finish. Truex Jr’s weekend started off tough enough but only continued when he was only able to muster a 36^th place finish. Points – 8+14+29=51

Tyler Sontag picked Marcos Ambrose, Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon. Ambrose ran undetected most of the race and he was able to finish 12th. Points – 32+5+47=84

Jeni Harris picked Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Kenseth continued to struggle at Michigan after receiving damage in an accident that wasn’t his fault. Points – 6+40+34=80
