Welcome to TimersSports
One of my least favorite races in terms of fantasy is the Coca-Cola 600! This is a endurance race which means equipment,crews and drivers will pushed to the limits. On Sunday, expect to see several failed mechanical issues (such as engines). Also track position is huge at Charlotte. Cars usually get strung out pretty quickly. Especially in the first 500 miles of this race.
Its would be wise to bring the big guns to Charlotte! Not because its a challenging race, but the big name tend to run well here. Like they have all season long. Here are my picks!
Yahoo -
A:
Start: Jimmie Johnson (8)
Bench: Joey Logano (8)
Reason - Gambled on Logano over Harvick for Qualifying points in a last minute decision. It paid off! Who is better? Johnson or Logano? I think Johnson will lead the most laps and win at Charlotte. Ultimately it came down to how many positions do I think Logano finishes behind Johnson? Personally I say north of 3. Isn't worth the start-save IMO.
B:
Start: Carl Edwards (8) , Kurt Busch (6)
Bench: Kasey Kahne (6) , Aric Almirola (8)
Reason - Busch and Edwards look solid in practice, so my hand pretty much forced. Kahne have a fast car, but starting deep. A lot could go wrong. I rather play it safe! Aric will probably knock off an respectable finish, but didn't see enough out of him this weekend.
C:
Start: Chase Elliott (8)
Bench: Justin Allgier (9)
Reason - Both start deep in the field. Both are inexperienced, but Elliott have way more potential and way better equipment! Once again my hand my was forced here.
Fantasy Live - 4,41,78,25 and 83
