Welcome to TimersSports
We have already had one trip to the "magic mile". It was so much fun , we coming back another round. New Hampshire is one of my "dreaded tracks" on the schedule. The big reason is fuel mileage and pit strategy. We saw in July how critical gambling can be. Anyone who started Gordon or Harvick learned the hard way. Sleepers typically don't surprise us. The busts are the ones which caught us off guard.
Sleeper -
Kyle Busch: Rowdy will be Rowdy..and this is the weekend to take advantage of his significantly low % across multiple formats. Rowdy have 3 straight 2nd place finishes. Along with the 3rd best driver rating since July 2012 at NHMS. What I love most about Rowdy is he coming off a respectable 7th place finish. The Candyman is capable big things here.
Bust -
Greg Biffle: The RFR guys are looking like garbage lately. I don't want any part of them. Least not until they look half way decent. Select Biff if you want , but that like playing with fire. Biff have shown consistency on short track , but he have absolutely no mojo. There better options.
Sleeper -
Clint Bowyer: Not many realize how good Bowyer been at NHMS. Actually been legit since joining MWR. His average finish since 2012 doesn't tells the whole story. In 2012 ,Bowyer was very strong both times here. Then 2013 he went downhill. Earlier this season he regained his elite status at NHMS. What to expect this time? I expect similar results from earlier this season. Given the pattern stays it course.
Bust -
Brain Vickers: Vickers = Overrated on shorts tracks. Its amaze me how much credit Vickers get for his short track success. Its was more to do with Rodney Childress mastermind on setups then anything. Unfortunately he no longer there. I said the same thing at Bristol few races ago and got criticism for it. Now hopefully this time more people listen to me. His performance earlier this season backed that up. He looked losted and confused quite honestly.
Sleeper -
Kasey Kahne: Kahne isn't as bad as people think at NHMS. Actually he been pretty successful here in the past. Including a win. Is he an safe option? No not at all. But if you are considering him , then you aren't likely in championship contention. So why not go with Kahne? He been trending upwards with his performance at flat tracks lately. Kahne is high risk/ high reward.
Bust -
Jamie Mac: JMac been a trendy option lately. Which is bad news to me. Most options hit their peak value and stuffer minor consequences (example like an 18th place or something.) JMac on the other hand when he hit his value peak , the results are fatal. Usually ending in an DNF. I got a feeling JMac may have hit value peak and could be due for a bad finish. Could I be wrong? Only time will time.
