This is a message for my colleague Jalopnik IndyCar Fantasy League Competitors: Don’t Forget to Make Your Selections for the Detroit Grand Prix! All you need to do is go to the official IndyCar Fantasy League page and make your selections for the Jalopnik League.
How’s your fantasy group after ol’ Indy 500? I have to say: My options leave a lot to be desired. In fact, some of them were dropped from the race, that’s how these things happened to me. Because I’m in charge of this job and not scrambling for any points, I usually finish my picks well before any of the trail runs happen, so I just end up… hope for the best.
This year being the last run of the Detroit Grand Prix at Belle Isle, it’s a sad day for those of us (perhaps just me) who enjoy attending that event for the primary purpose of watching the sessions. on the track from a domestic swing.
Last year, the event was a header double that saw Patricio O’Ward and Marcus Ericsson win the race. This year we enter a single race – perhaps for the best, given the fact that the Detroit track is notoriously rough and tough for racers. and consider the fact that the IndyCar series is coming to Road America next weekend.
Right now, this is how the league stands:
- Oregon mountain biker
- Jahiegel
- Mugwump Motorsport
- Buckeye AutoSport
- TMT GP
- Wooz Wooz Racing
- Racing Paisano
- Team Prechtel
- Carlos 53593
- Squadra Speedgeek
(A special thanks to Daly-Franchitti Hair Care Inc and MyRinusIsVeekayd for absolutely amazing names.)
While the Indy 500 is generally a big paying event for both drivers and fantasy team participants, there are still plenty of races on the calendar to turn your season around.
