Fantasy Nascar Picks

Welcome to TimersSports

Richmond Recap: Okay folks..I got my butt kicked at Richmond and snapping an 6-race 270+ points streak (in Yahoo). And fantasy live I snapped my 16 race 200+ points streak. Not what I wanted at all. Things could have gone differently if I decided against Matt Kenseth. But I didn't. On to the chase.

Look ahead to Chicago:  Chicago is one of my least favorite tracks on the Sprint Cup Series schedule. Chicago typically rewards the studs (aka favorites). Big reason I would prefer avoiding drivers low on ponies under the hood. Also remember to consider all possibilities. Including past track history , current mojo and season sucess on specific track type. Stack your lineup with chase drivers. Its Chicago let get rolling!

A:

Start: Jimmie Johnson

Bench: Kevin Harvick

Reason: Its basically a coin toss here , so I will lean towards Johnson. For the main reason I don't trust him (Harvick) to deliver (especially with a new crew). Also I have more Johnson starts left.

B:

Start: Paul Menard  , Greg Biffle

Bench: Joey Logano , Brad Keselowski

Reason: I have two firm fantasy nascar rules: 1) Don't start an sleeper from deep in pack. 2) Don't start your studs from outside top 20. Brad and Joey starts 25th and 28th. I see no reason to risk that. While I still need to start 4 drivers in Grouping B not named Hamlin , Keselowski , and Logano. Menard and Biff are good enough for me.

C:

Start: Danica Patrick

Bench: Kyle Larson

Reason: My intentions been all week to start Patrick. Larson was just a pawn for Qualification points.

Fantasy Live - Logano , Keselowski , Harvick , Cassill and Annett

Dark Horse - Brian Vickers

Race Winner - Jimmie Johnson
