Welcome to TimersSports
We are at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend! I expect cars from Hendrick , Penske and Gibbs to run up front all day long. Texas is one of several Intermediate racetracks on the schedule. Texas is a 1.5 mile worn out racetrack. Certain drivers seems to excell at worn out tracks. So knowing who they're should be something to consider when setting your lineup.
Sleepers -
Kyle Larson: Kyle Larson is all around stud on the racetrack! Just unbelievable what he can do as a rookie. Just wait the win is coming and I would bet it comes on Sunday. Worn out tracks seems to be Larson favorite. Earlier this season , Larson was impressive here. Didn't quite win , but showed why he belongs.
Kyle Busch: I love how Kyle Busch handled himself at Martinsville. Didn't lash out and ruin someone chase chances which we were all expecting. More importantly , he was competitive overall. Busch been elite at Texas recently. Nobody been better over the past 5 races here. Earlier this year , Busch was extremely strong on his way to a top 5 finish after leading earlier in the event.
Martin Truex Jr: Okay last week prediction didn't come true , but before getting major damage to his car. He was one of the strongest cars while competitively running in the top 10. I like his chances at Texas. Over the past few weeks , Truex have consistently ran inside the top 12. Expect the same this week.
Busts -
Jimmie Johnson: I have hinted towards it several times since the chase started. Jimmie isn't a safe option. Last week poor finish should have convinced people may it time to ditch "2014 Johnson experiment". Not saying he cannot go out and score a top 10 , but is that what you really looking for from him? There will be better options to consider.
Brian Vickers: Vickers leads the series in average finish , but only have race twice in the past 3 seasons here. So the sample size is limited. His finish earlier this season was very misleading. He didn't have a top 5 car as his finish suggest. At best he was around 12th place mostly.
