Fantasy Nascar Picks

Welcome to Timerssports

Talladega Recap: Well the crapshoot , turned out well in both Yahoo (272) and Fantasy Live (268)! The goal was to survive and we did exactly that. Now it could gone multiple different ways with Dale Jr , Jeff Gordon , Paul Menard , Jamie McMurray , and others having poor finishes. But like rest of the 2014 , I have had extremely great luck.

Martinsville look ahead: Martinsville is a difficult track to successfully succeed at. Its more of a driver track. Only a half mile , but it all about getting around here fast without wrecking into someone. Trust me it isn't easy. Martinsville have been pretty unkind to me lately , but lets hope a change is in order.

Overall Rankings:

Yahoo Overall Rank: 489th (99th Percentile)

Fantasy Live Overall Rank: 126th (99th Percentile)

Yahoo -

A:

Start- Jimmie Johnson (1)

Bench- Kevin Harvick (1)

Reason: Um..too easy really! Johnson looks good enough to deliver a quality start. Plus Martinsville is Johnson best track. Harvick also starts 33rd. Passing here isn't easy. Side Note: I wish I had Gordon. Because I would start him without question.

B:

Start- Denny Hamlin (2) , Ryan Newman (1)

Bench- Joey Logano (3) , Brad Keselowski (2)

Reason: The Penske boys been the class of the B-list on 1.5 mile racetracks in 2014! And we have two of them in the final 3 races. Big reason why I am using Newman/Hamlin for Martinsville.

C:

Start- Austin Dillon (2)

Bench- Kyle Larson (2)

Reason: Larson haven't figured out Martinsville quite yet. So going with Dillon makes sense. I rather save Larson for Texas and Homestead!

Fantasy Live - Gordon , Harvick , Logano , Sorenson and Mears

Dark Horse to win - Kyle Busch

Race Winner - Jeff Gordon
