Welcome to Timerssports
Qualifying on Thursday this week means everything is moved up a day early. Same goes for our content. One of the downsides to Charlotte. Its really hurt us folks who takes fantasy nascar serious. Instead of complaining lets get into sleepers and busts for race 31.
Sleepers:
Paul Menard: This dude just unbelievable. Looks lost in practice at Kansas and goes out and finish 9th. But that so Paul Menard this season. Big reason why he brings awesome value each week. In 30 races in 2014 , Menard have 12 Top 10s. Almost all of them came on this type racetrack (intermediate.) Charlotte actually been a good track for Menard. He finished inside the top 10 earlier this season. Also should be noted Menard is a streaky driver. Menard have scored all of his top 10s in pairs or trio (excluding Talladega and Daytona.) Meaning there a good chance he scores another top 10 this weekend. Given the trend holds true.
Martin Truex Jr: Last week MT jr was one of my sleepers. I also said he wasn't getting enough attention for he solid run lately. Well I am pretty sure that changed now. Kinda hoping he would continue to go unnoticed , but after 4th at Kansas he gotten much more attention. It been impressive to watch the 78 knock off 4 straight legit performance and results. Charlotte is a good place for that continue. Maybe he can finish the year off strong and use it as momentum for 2015.
Jamie Mac: It was truly heartbreaking to watch my boy JMac comeback from a speeding penalty to be running top 5 before having another issue at Kansas. Frustrating more then anything. So lets try this again. JMac could definitely win at Charlotte. He won the All star race and finish 5th in the 600 in May. So we know he will be fast , but question is can he deliver?
Busts -
Kasey Kahne: There are only a few drivers I refused to use. Kasey Kahne is on that very short list. I don't care it his best track , Kasey have absolutely no momentum. No other driver have had more bad luck then Kasey. No disrespect to Kasey , but I don't think the risk is worth the reward. He gonna eventually have a bad Charlotte race. Way his season have gone , its bounded to this weekend.
Jimmie Johnson: I know it sounds a little crazy , but I think Johnson will be a bust. Okay top 10 exactly isn't a bust , but JJ is held to a different standard. Unless Chad and Jimmie dig down deep , I just don't see them being a legit threat at the title. Even (if) they advance. Something seems off about them. 0 laps led in the chase at 4 very good tracks for Jimmie. Red flags should be popping up.
Kyle Busch: I become a fan of this phenomenal talent over the past 6 years or so. Kyle does so many things well. Talent wise there isn't a individual who can match him. But of his big weaknesses is being inconsistent. Usually its at the same tracks. Charlotte is one of those tracks. He been good , but not great. Big reason is Kyle been all or nothing here. Kyle is a risk/reward pick. I believe there much good as bad when selecting him. Take your chance at your own risk..
