Welcome to Timerssports
We are headed to Daytona this weekend for the Daytona 500. This is one of my favorite racetrack on the Nascar schedule. I love Daytona because have how it benefits both players who want to play it safe or risky. With little setbacks due to it the first race of the season.
Last Season Overall Standings:
Yahoo Fantasy Racing - 123rd
Fantasy Live - 97th
Daytona Picks:
Yahoo Fantasy Racing-
A:
Dale Earnhardt Jr (9) and Denny Hamlin (9)
Reason: I really don't need a reason to have Dale Jr on my team. But if you insist , Dale Jr have been the best driver the past 3 season (finish wise). Only Greg Biffle Average Running position is better. Those two stats should tell you a lot about how good Dale been. From career standpoint , Dale Jr been one of the best ever. Denny Hamlin is some I really as well. Not sure if I am man enough to start him over Dale Jr. But if he strong in his duel , then I will consider.
B:
Carl Edwards (9) , Austin Dillon (9) , Greg Biffle (9) , and Paul Menard (9)
Reason: Well Group-B is the group to go off-sequence. To be honest , I planned to play Daytona relatively safe. So Carl Edwards is the first guy I picked. I really liked what I saw from him at the Unlimited race. JGR have a strong Super Speedway setup. Won't start him , but you never know. Dillon is someone I really like. More of a gut feeling than anything. Dillon understand Daytona and in my opinion a pretty good sleeper. The Biff is well under 30% currently which is very surprising to me. No driver been better than the Biff overall performance wise. Yes not Dale Jr. But it pretty close though. Paul Menard rounds out my team. No real real. My plan to go with Dillon and Biff. But won't make it final until Saturday evening.
C:
Ty Dillon (9) and Michael Waltrip (9)
Reason: Easy choices here. Danica is the best option in this grouping tier among the full-time drivers. So no way I want her on my roster for a race like Daytona. Blaney will be used 9-times , so that takes him out. Alliager in the 51 is a full-time , but I think there better options out there. Which led me Ty Dillon and Waltrip. Small chance I use Waltrip on Sunday though.
