It's back again!

The rest of the post will be fleshed out tonight, but I want to get this up before qual starts on Saturday for Indy.

Basically it'll be like last year's. Winner gets an upgrade of their choice, loser gets a shametar (probably of a crash taken from one of the races).

Submission rules
You currently allowed to fill out all the fields, but if you only do the Indy qualifying fields now and leave the rest blank until next week, I'm fine with that. If you are going to do that, do two posts with your entries: the Indy Qual entries and the rest. Indy qualifying entries will be open until the start of qualifying Saturday. All other entries, including the rest of the Indy ones, are open until the start of qualifying for Monaco (if only because pole doesn't mean much for the 500 apart from bragging rights).

The points
Predict the pole (5), podium (9-7-5), and most laps lead (5) for each race, even if Indy and NASCAR doesn't do podiums for these two races. If you pick someone to finish on the podium, but the driver picked does not finish in the spot you picked, you will get 3 points. Each race will have a unique point opportunity for it worth 6 total points, depending on the race (Monaco: Fastest Lap, Indy 500: the two bumped cars, Coke 600: the stage winners). For the bold predictions, the bolder the prediction, the more points you'll get if it's right (example: predicting Sage will DNF is not bold. Predicting a Toro Rosso to win Monaco is).

What do I win if I correctly predict Max Verstappen eats a wall in Monaco?

A pat on the back.

The bumping victims are:

James Hinchcliffe
Pippa Mann

As there are extenuating circumstances here and a potential for a bought out ride, I hereby declare that:
IF JAY HOWARD GETS DROPPED FOR HINCH, I WILL AWARD 1.5 POINTS TO THOSE WHO PREDICTED HOWARD TO GET BUMPED

Update to this: if any driver gets bought out for Hinch or (very less likely) Pippa, that driver counts as "half-bumped" and will award 1.5 points. Howard is the likely candidate for Hinch, but it's unlikely Pippa will buy anyone out.

I might allow it if he doesn't have a ride after tomorrow.

Alright, after consideration, if you predicted Hinch to podium, you can resubmit your entries. I did say you could hold off on submitting the rest of the entries unrelated to Indy qualifying after qualifying concluded, which includes the podium.

We have a winner!

Basticle wins with 39 points, with only 3 of those off the bold predictions

Theophany and Kilonum lose with 3.

Also shoutout to IOwnCalculus for being the only person to get any of the three podiums 100% right, but Basticle juuuuuuuust edged you out by a couple of points.

Honestly, I don't even know how I scored anything?

You picked Scott Dixon for the Indy podium, which got you 3 points (you picked 2nd, he finished 3rd).
