Welcome to Timerssports
Last week it was your average Richmond race. Big names finished up front with minimum exceptions. There was only one noticeable wreck and that was Tony Stewart incident late in the race. In terms of fantasy , it was a pretty routine race for owners. If you rolled with a big name (minus Edwards and Keselowski) , then Sunday's race was a walk in the park.
At Talladega expect something completely different. Not often we go to Talladega and don't see a big wreck. It's hard to make picks due to the unknowns. Personally I prefer to go with a conservative but upsided lineup. I have had a lot of success over the years with going that route. Even though no pick is safe come Sunday!
Yahoo -
A:
Start: Denny Hamlin (8)
Bench: Jimmie Johnson (8)
Reason - Never planned to use Johnson! Denny Hamlin is my sneaky play this weekend. He is the guy I want out of the JGR stable.
B:
Start Austin Dillon (8) , Greg Biffle (8)
Bench: Clint Bowyer (9) , Kasey Kahne (6)
Reason - There was never any doubt who I was planning to start. I used the Biffle/Dillon combo earlier this season at Daytona, so why fix what isn't broken? Anything can happen on Sunday.
C -
Start: David Ragan (4)
Bench: Danica Patrick (9)
Reason - The big question I had to answer was: What is Ragan potential at Talladega compared to going forward in the 55 car? I will take Ragan at Talladega all day long. Hopefully its pays off.
Fantasy Live - 4,2,41, 34 and 38
Sleeper Pick - Landon Cassill
Race Winner - Brad Keselowski
