simple... you get one throw-away pick, so if one of your guys wrecks, you still have a chance for the high score, and overall championship. Now if you have two DNFs, well, you may need to hope others are in that same situation. You could use the throw-away pick as a kind of wild card... pick someone that you wouldn't normally pick.

Scheduled Green Flag is 2:16p Eastern. This is the first race using smaller spacers, but won't be using the modified aero package for more downforce. Next week at Vegas, they will be using the smaller spacers, and modified aero package for the faster tracks.
