Jalopnik IndyCar Fantasy League: Don't Forget to Make Your Detroit Grand Prix Picks
Jalopnik IndyCar Fantasy League: Don't Forget to Make Your Detroit Grand Prix Picks-December 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:50

Will Power leads the field at the 2021 Detroit Grand Prix

Here’s a heads-up for my fellow competitors: Don’t forget to make your picks for the Detroit Grand Prix! All you need to do is head over to the official and make your picks for the Jalopnik League.

How’s your fantasy team faring after the ol’ Indy 500? I gotta say: My picks left a lot to be desired. In fact, several of them crashed out of the race, which is generally how these things go for me. Because I’m in charge of this thing and not vying for any points, I usually make my picks well before any on-track running has taken place, so I end up just kinda... hoping for the best.

This year is the last running of the Detroit Grand Prix at Belle Isle, which is a sad day for those of us (probably only me) who enjoyed attending that event for the main purpose of watching on-track sessions from an .

Last year, the event was a double-header that saw Patricio O’Ward and Marcus Ericsson take race victories. This year, we’re down to a single race — which is probably for the best, considering the fact that the Detroit track is notoriously rough and difficult for drivers and considering the fact that the IndyCar series ships off to Road America the following weekend.

Right now, here’s how the league stands:

(A special shoutout to Daly-Franchitti Hair Care Inc and MyRinusIsVeekayd for the absolutely fantastic names.)

While the Indy 500 is generally a big points-paying event for both drivers and fantasy team participants, there are still plenty of races left on the calendar to turn your season around.

Delma Cowart, The Clown Prince Of Racing, Dies At Age 80
We don’t remember Delma Cowart the same way we remember other racing drivers. He never won a NASCAR race (but, as the saying goes, he never lost a party). He never even competed in a full season. But Cowart, nicknamed “the clown prince of racing” made his legacy off...
