Only 21 people picked Kyle Busch to win the Fontana race, which was a bit surprising given he won last year there.
Anyway, it turned out to be a good decision. And it was particularly impressive for @Adam_Huth and @dwilwer, who picked up their THIRD WINS OF THE SEASON in just five races! Keep in mind there are probably many people who won’t win one time all year (me, probably).
Here are the people who picked Kyle Busch at Fontana:
| Adam_Huth | *** |
| dwilwer | *** |
| arlenekrue | ** |
| bshell00 | ** |
| cfrosland | ** |
| devyanks90 | ** |

As a side note, you might be wondering which unfortunate players spent their one Denny Hamlin pick for the year on a race he turned out not to be part of. Those 14 people were:
| shannonjones154 | |
| CopaCavanna | ** |
| jddorman2 | * |
| LoganReardon20 | * |
| basspro24chevy | |
| JRIG1980 | |
| LVI56 | |

| MattNicholson51 | ** |
| harvicknut_4 | |
| KABenn1616 | |
| Mike_Dobreski | |
| terrywilfong | |
| rsc654 |
Not surprisingly, Adam_Huth and dwilwer are leading the overall standings. What do they know that we don’t? Crazy! Eight more people were added to the Fantasy Chase thanks to their Kyle Busch pick, bringing the total to 133 out of 326 entries.
