Fantasy Nascar Picks (Bristol)

Welcome to TimersSports

We head to Bristol this week! Personally I see this as a challenging week to determine potential decent fantasy picks! Why? Short tracks have a known history of being difficult on us fantasy players. Remember Martinsville? A lot of us came out battered and bloody. Last season several big names took a beating at the bullring. Such as Kevin Harvick , Dale Jr , Kasey Kahne , Denny Hamlin , etc. You get the point. Let jump into today's picks!

Yahoo -

A:

Start - Joey Logano (9)

Bench - Brad Keselowski (8)

Reason: Honestly they're both great options. Cannot go wrong either way , but I decided with Logano. Firstly Logano is the most recent winner at BMS. Secondly Logano was a little bit better on the longer runs. Lastly he dominated the NXS race. Its irreverent to Sunday race , but having 300 extra laps on track could make a big different in the little things.

B:

Start - Kasey Kahne (7) & Paul Menard (9)

Bench - Carl Edwards (8) , Kurt Busch (6)

Reason: Four great options with top 10 potential. May be my toughest decision of the season thus far. Ended up going with Kahne and Menard. Kinda ironic since I almost went with this combo last week. Menard looked solid overall and have shown a lot consistency at BMS. Kahne over Edwards/Busch was tough. In the end , I feel more comfortable with Kahne over Edwards. Busch was just as good , but I have more allocations with Kahne.

C:

Start - David Ragan (5)

Bench - Danica Patrick (9)

Reason: Danica looked completely lost all weekend! Had the feeling she would be compared to Ragan. Don't get fancy! Start David Ragan , okay? Good!

Fantasy Live - 4,41,34,46,5

Sleeper Pick - Jamie McMurray

Race Winner - Kasey Kahne
