Prediction Row 2024
BRISTOL -- No winner pickers this week. Since five of our predictors all picked the same driver there are no real changes in the overall standing between our predictors, except for poor Gerry who can't seem to catch a break. With such an unfortunate performance by her driver she fell even further back in the pack. Maybe she’ll have some better luck next week at the Circuit of America race.
The top 3 predictors will advance to our Playoff Segment.
Bristol Predictions

Jerry Conkle - Villager Backstory
We know Jerry Conkle as a member of our Hall of Fame, a former president of the club, a Trivia Master who challenges our racing knowledge and a living encyclopedia of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
