Fantasy Nascar Picks

Welcome to TimersSports

Watkins Glenn recap: The trip to Watkins Glenn ended like I exactly dreamed of. Super high scores across the board. Fantasy Live was plagued by Kyle Busch wreckless actions. Luckily Ambrose and Dinger dominated like I thought. Danica and Biffle greatly improved their starting positions. In Yahoo, my last minute swap of Harvick - Busch was critical. An 350 points day was icing  on the cake. Ambrose, Harvick , Aj Dinger and Alliager all finished top 17. Its helped move me into the top 2200 overall.

Look ahead to Michigan: Michigan is a difficult track to predict. Especially with fuel mileage and pit strategy being a huge factor. Selecting a lineup can be quite difficult. Expect me to select a combo of safe and under the radar drivers.

Yahoo-

A:

Start: Kevin Harvick (4)

Bench: Dale Jr (7)

Reason: Honestly I wanted to save myself an Harvick start this week. I really did. As I need to get 2 start from someone else NOT named Gordon/Harvick/Johnson to make the math work correctly in A. Dale Jr starts outside the top 20 and honestly I like going with the majority in A. The majority will start Harvick or Gordon.

B:

Start:

Ryan Newman (3)

Paul Menard (7)

Bench:

Jamie Mac (9)

Brad Keselowski (4)

Reason: Menard and Newman were good enough overall to be top 12 options in practice. Hoping that translates into Sunday race. JMac really interests me. I thought he was solid and have a shot at the top 10. If I was in a deep hole points wise , I would take a chance with him.

C:

Start:  Jeff Burton (7)

Bench: Danica Patrick (5)

Reason: Burton in the 14 should lead to a nice start save option in Yahoo. Burton should contend for a top 20. Danica just unreliable. I see no reason to start her. I will save her for Bristol.

Fantasy Live:

Gordon ,Harvick , Annett , Logano and Mears.

Dark Horse: Kurt Busch

Race Winner: Jeff Gordon
