Welcome to Timerssports
We make our final stop on a superspeedway racetrack at Talladega. This the chase wildcard in both fantasy land and reality. From a fantasy point of view , nothing is certain. There probably gonna be infinity different strategies being planned for Sunday. I absolutely positive , if you ask 50 serious players their strategy. You will likely get 50 different answer. But in reality there really isn't any good strategy for Talladega. My advice would be to set a lineup and forget about. More you think about it , the more you will question your choices.
Sleepers -
Clint Bowyer: Bowyer doesn't get enough respect for being a legitimate threat at plate races. His record at Talladega is much better then at Daytona. Records , trends , stats don't mean much here. But it been awhile since Clint had a bad race here. Maybe he continues his roll.
Casey Mears: Feel lucky? Take your chances with Mears. His 9.3 average finish on plate races this season ranks near the top. What Mears does so well is avoid the wrecks. Just know you're probably a sitting duck if Mears wrecks out.
Terry Labonte: This is a popular choice for devildares like myself (there aren't a lot of us.) Anyways Labonte will attempt to qualify for his last sprint cup race ever. If I have learned anything over the last few years. Labonte staying at the back strategy have worked out pretty well (based off his crappy equipment.) The question is how many of you have the stones to play Labonte one more time?
Busts -
Jamie Mac: My boy JMac is considered a great plate racer and I agree. But rarely does he finishes races at Daytona and Talladega. Outside of a few times , JMac have a lot poor finishes. Of course he did win last year race.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr: He yet to have a bad race at Talladega , but unfortunately he is likely overdue. Just as he was at Daytona until he had a bad race in July. My point being , I would probably leave Ricky in the garage this week. Of course this is just my gut feeling/opinion. Which have been wrong before.
