Welcome to Timerssports
We are headed to New Hampshire this week. As the initial lockdown looms for Yahoo, burning question and concerns rapidly grows among players. Is this the week to rest Penske? Is Smoke worth consideration? That and much more as Matt Aleza (@MattAleza1) and the gang looks ahead the week. Let get started!
Q- Thoughts on Daytona?
@MattAleza1 : Meh..The Roush boyz ruined the fun really. 37 cars all in total. That right there was every fantasy player nightmare. Glad we at New Hampshire.
@Gbriggs12: Haha man that race was definitely entertaining. I mean threat of rain + drama + wrecks = heck of a weekend. Plus I had a outstanding day with my Yahoo team.
@MichelleRizzo5 : Lol Garry..You are still going on about your above average score at Daytona. I didn't like Daytona very much. Mainly because I missed most of it.
@Gbriggs12 - Haha yeah, but my season have had very few bright spots. Got to enjoy them much as possible.
Q- Do we select Smoke for NHMS? Explain your reasoning.
@MattAleza1: Yes. I mean I don't think he gonna be as great as everyone is thinking. But rather be safe then get completely burn. In case he looks unbelievably good in practice.
@Gbriggs12 : No. Everyone have their own opinions. But if you read my article post (Sleepers and Busts). I stated some interesting stats that suggests Smoke could be a disappointment. Will everyone agree with me? Heck no. My point being , go with your gut.
@MichelleRizzo5 : No. Honestly I haven't seen enough out of Tony Stewart to confidently say he is an top 10 option after 18 races. And after reading Garry's sleepers and busts article , It officially made up my mind. Tony needs to prove himself before he get consideration from me.
@MattAleza1: Hmm..Okay. Next Question.
Q- Yay or Nay on resting Penske at NHMS?
@MattAleza1: Yes. I would rest the Penske cars this week. Especially with several useable options to choose from. I mean Edwards , The Biff , Smoke, Hamlin , Newman , Menard , etc to name a few off top of my head. All have legitimate shot at top 15 a least.
@Gbriggs12: Yes. I really think resting them here will benefit us later on down the road say at Atlanta or Chicagoland.
@MichelleRizzo5: Yes as well. Unless you have 5 or more with least one of them. Their value is unbelievable in Yahoo. Having a sum total of four or five in the chase will give you a significant edge.
@MattAleza1 - Heck even having any starts left itself should give you advantage in the chase. It all about using the right drivers at the right places.
@MichelleRizzo5 - How many starts do you want for the Chase?
@MattAleza1 - Right now I have Nine (4 Brads and 5 JoLo). So around 6.
Q- Sleeper Pick?
@MattAleza1 - JMac. He been fantastic at similar tracks. Had a great car at Phoenix. Finish 15th. Running close to the top 5 at Martinsville , before Dale Jr wrecked him. Had top 10 potential at Richmond , but faded at end to around 13th.
@Gbriggs12 - Kyle Busch. I absolutely loving that everyone is overlooking Rowdy. This cat can drive. Expect him to be mixing it up at the front all weekend long. He have finishes of 9th , 14th , and 3rd at similar tracks. Not bad right?
@MichelleRizzo5: Paul Menard. I just like Menard this weekend. Got a really good feeling about him. Probably a gut feeling though.
Q- Yahoo Lineups?
@MattAleza1 : 24,4. 2,11,14,31. 66,3.
@Gbriggs12: 48,15. 2,27,99,1. 66,42.
@MichelleRizzo5: 18,48. 31,11,22,2. 66,3.
@MattAleza1: Interesting B-list Garry..care to explain?
@Gbriggs12: Definitely. Doing the math and if I can start save here , I can mathematically make it to Homestead without start saving (or close to it).
@MattAleza1: Ah okay. I am not even close. Lol.
Thanks for reading!
