NASCAR One and Done


The Great American Race is about to drop the green flag on the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season. 
With that comes year #2 of One and Done fantasy picks. This year though, usage will be once in the regular season, and once in the playoffs. If you are new to one and done games, they works like this:
You pick a driver once a week and score points off how they finish that race. You then cannot use that driver again for the remainder of the season. The team with the most points at the end of the year wins! 
Our leagues usage is once in the regular season and once in the playoffs. Points reset at the end of the regular season. However, they do not reset to zero. They reset to the amount of wins you compile during the regular season. 

2024 Daytona 500 Pick

With super speedways being unpredictable I am not going to go with any of the favorites. 

I am going to go with a driver who will not even compete for the full lenght of the

The driver I am taking is a hall of famer though. He also has won 7 NASCAR Cup Champions. 

He needs no introduction, Jimmie Johnson will be piloting the #84 Toyota Camry sponsored by Carvana. Johnson even had to race his way into the 500 via dual #1 on Thursday night. So the urgency level was already there, he felt the draft, and wasnt just logging laps. 

Results:
Jimmie was collected in a early multi car crash. He went 2 laps down early and was not able to recover. He started 23rd and finished 28th.

But the first four weeks, in particular, presented a logistical nightmare.   ​The challenge kicked off immediately in Week 1 with the team's first-ever game in São Paulo, Brazil against the divisional-rival Kansas City Chiefs. This international fixture required a massive journey of thousands of miles across multiple time zones, a significant disruption before the regular season even truly began. While the team managed to secure a tough victory, the sheer physi...
