Did Twitter predict the Championship 4?

Every now and then, the Internet gets one right. Back in February—which feels like ages ago—we asked you to call your shot and predict the Championship 4. Hundreds of you sent in your guesses. https://twitter.com/steveluvender/status/1359616900452544516 But did anyone correctly predict all four championship finalists? So much happened in a single season, and so much changed from 2020. Kevin Harvick went from winning nine races last year to laying an egg in the wins column in 2021. Kyle Larson joined Hendrick Motorsports and won pretty much everything. Three drivers won their first races, and even part-timer AJ Allmendinger snagged a victory.  All that to say, 2021 was a tough year to predict.  Even the only person who predicted last year’s Championship 4 stumbled this time around. https://twitter.com/MarkRH/status/1359626522253029376 One out of four—not so great!  The 2021 Hall of Shame Plenty of Twitter titans sent in their guesses, only to fail to make one single correct prediction. It’s tough out there.  Sorry to do this, but, in the spirit of tradition, we’ve got no choice but to make fun of those lousy 0-for-4 picks. You know what you signed up for.  https://twitter.com/sephilav/status/1454955131313721345 https://twitter.com/blaneyfanMark/status/1359937760941998080 https://twitter.com/Dcarterace21/status/1359695563151802368 https://twitter.com/Wildfast88/status/1359724435536756737 https://twitter.com/aiden_orth/status/1359631044127899649 https://twitter.com/Lvingrmwarwagon/status/1359891412624551937 Even NASCAR.com’s own power ranker Pat DeCola whiffed. https://twitter.com/Pat_DeCola/status/1360231460582682629 Better luck next year.  One person picked correctly If you shoot enough arrows at a target, one’s bound to hit the bullseye.  Out of the hundreds and hundreds of failed predictions, we’ve found only one containing this year’s Championship 4 lineup of Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Larson and Martin Truex Jr. Well done, @RadiKyleOpinion. Back on Feb. 10, you peered 263 days into the future.  https://twitter.com/RadiKyleOpinion/status/1359690078671536129 Somehow, you knew that Chase Elliott would compete to defend his 2020 title. That Denny Hamlin would give it another go. That fellow Kyle, Kyle Larson, would have an outstanding season. That Martin Truex Jr. would fight to become Martin 2x, Jr. We’re thoroughly impressed by your skills. Or your wild, uninformed guesses; we don’t know.  For reference, one person picked perfectly in 2020, two got ‘em right in 2019, and nobody predicted the 2018 Championship 4. You’re in elite company, @RadiKyleOpinion.  Although, technically speaking, this one’s not wrong. https://twitter.com/DWC_78/status/1359623756738658314 Thanks to all this year’s participants who put their pride on the line. Let’s do it again in 2022.
