This game is patterned after Doggert's Memorial Day Challenge of years past.
RULES:- Pick the drivers you think will win the Monaco Grand Prix, Indianapolis 500, and Coca-Cola 600.
- Your three picks may not be identical to any other player--at least one of your drivers must be different.
- Picks must be in by the drop of the green flag in Monaco (8:00am ET Sunday).
After the trio of races are complete, I'll average the finishing positions of your three drivers. The lowest total score wins. Unlike Doggert, I'm cheap and therefore won't be supplying a die-cast for the winner; however, bragging rights and maybe a signature banner are on the line. Tiebreakers will go to the player with more race wins. If still tied, it goes to most 2nd place finishes, then 3rd, and so on.
Format your post in this way: Monaco:Indy 500:Coke 600:Alrighty, let's get started!

Energy wins the 2016 Memorial Day Challenge!
---
This challenge ended in a tiebreaker. Probowl and I each tied with an average finish of 9.3, but I beat him since my highest finisher was 2nd-place Kevin Harvick, compared to his 7th-place Nico Rosberg.
Surprisingly, nobody correctly picked the winner of any of the three races this past weekend. The real determining factor was Kyle Busch, whose troubles in the Coca-Cola 600 essentially took half of the field out of contention.
Here are the full results:
