Jalopnik IndyCar Fantasy League: Don't Forget to Make Your Indy 500 Picks
Jalopnik IndyCar Fantasy League: Don't Forget to Make Your Indy 500 Picks-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:50

Former winners of the Indy 500. Standing, from left to right: Simon Pagenaud, Helio Castroneves, Juan Pablo Montoya, Alexander Rossi. Sitting, from left to right: Will Power, Takuma Sato, Tony Kanaan, Scott Dixon.

Here’s a heads-up for my fellow competitors: Don’t forget to make your picks for the ! This is a big weekend for points, and you don’t want to miss out. All you need to do is head over to the official and make your picks for the Jalopnik League.

Things will . Instead of having $100 to select four drivers whose performance will count toward your overall weekend score, you’ll have $200 to select eight drivers. I know that sounds like a lot of money, but with , countless other great picks, and , you can run out of money pretty quickly if you’re not careful. (I know I did!) As usual, you’ll also predict the podium and the fastest lap.

If you’re wondering who to pick, well — I think a lot of people are! , and no matter how accurate you think you’ll be, there are .

Take Scott Dixon, for example. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver has — but the last time he had pole, he crashed on lap 53 and brought out a red flag. Or you could pick Helio Castroneves and hope he wins a record-setting fifth 500 — but it’s been decades since someone won the race from that far back on the grid.

Me? I’m picking the underdogs this year. For my ultimate winner, I’m torn between Alex Palou and Rinus VeeKay — I keep flip-flopping, and I’m pretty sure I’ve made a different prediction every time someone asks me to guess the winner. All I know is that we’ll only be able to tell when we see the results as the checkered flag flies!
