Great choice. I honestly think the winner of the thing is coming out of that second row, but I had to go with Kanaan. He's my favorite racer.

Watch position 12 too.

I'll go with Will Power driving #12

The Draft is now open to multiple selections. So, if you've already made a selection and want a 2nd, post your request. If you don't already have a selection, you may make two requests at once.

I MAY allow 3rd selections tonight, so stay tuned.

Draft will close tomorrow (Sunday) morning @ 9am ET.
