Welcome to TimersSports
We are headed to Martinsville! I absolutely love this place. Completing a pass here is difficult. Catching someone is one thing , passing is another. Make your move at the wrong time , then expect there to be some wrecked cars (example 2011). From a fantasy view , this is a hellhole. I don't think I ever heard anyone use nice words to describe fantasy racing at Martinsville.
Sleepers -
Jamie Mac: Nailed JMac as a bust last week (I was right) , this week he is on the good side. His record is unimpressive , but in my opinion this is his best track. The way he drives Martinsville stands out to me. Unlike most guys , Jamie understand what it takes to successfully get around Martinsville fast without using up his equipment.
Aric Almirola: Aric have done some of his best work on short tracks so far in his NSCS career. He have had a few outstanding performance at Martinsville so far as well. I wouldn't expect a top 5 , but Aric capable of scoring a top 10 (more likely top 15) at Martinsville.
Matt Kenseth: Over the past 5 races here , Kenseth have an 8 place average finish. This is a shocker to me. He wasn't very good earlier in his career. But not so shocking , 4 of Kenseth's 10 career top 10s came recently in the past 4 seasons (including back-to-back with JGR.) I think he continues to run well on Sunday.
Busts -
Denny Hamlin: Hammy have a representation of being a serious threat to win at Martinsville. Unfortunately I don't think he lives up to his elite status this week. Over the last few years , Hamlin have slowly drifted away from the top at. At best he an top 10 value. If you're looking to hit a homerun ,then you best look else where.
Clint Bowyer: Bowyer was very strong earlier this season here. But got a misleading finish. Nevertheless I get the feeling he won't repeat it. Big reason for it , Bowyer haven't been overly impressive on flats in 2014. Richmond nor Phoenix did he look like his old self. Add in he been inconsistent all season , there a good chances he disappoints. Not like he have much to race for either too.
