Group one is just stacked.

Group two has two contenders (Brad K has REALLY struggled without Paul Wolfe) but Kyle needs to prove he can finish races. I like Denny in that group.

Group three will be the "interesting" pick each week IMO. Downside to all of those drivers, although my mind was blown when I saw Kevin Harvick has three Top 5s in his last four (and two wins--I swear I didn't remember him winning Richmond).

If he keeps it up, this will be Kurt Busch's final segment in Group Four. He has ONE finish outside the Top 15 in his last six races. Little brother Kyle has four. lol

The groups this segment were determined more by my own opinion than ever. I usually go off of how all the drivers do in the previous segment. If I had done that, Truex would have been in group one while Kurt Busch and Aric Almirola would have been in group two. Meanwhile, Biffle, Keselowski, and Kyle Busch all would have been in group four. That wasn't going to happen.

I'm not arguing that, no doubt. The ESPN game seemed to go by the points standings and thus Denny Hamlin was an absolute STEAL to begin Segment 2 of that game.

yeah... a lot of 'subjective reasoning' has to come into play when you are the game admin
Looks about as good and compitative groups as you could come up with Jordan
