Welcome to TimersSports
We are headed to Kansas this weekend. Kansas was recently repaved in 2012. Typically newer racing surfaces leads to faster speeds. Its also lack multiple racing groove which makes passing very difficult. Unlike Atlanta , Vegas, Texas,etc where passing was fairly easy. So expect track position to be huge.
There plenty of value plays laying out there , so I want to use some of those options to my advantage at Kansas. Don't be afraid to be different with your lineup than your competition!
Yahoo -
A:
Start: Kevin Harvick (7)
Bench: Joey Logano (8)
Reason - Last minute switch for Logano (from Johnson) got me 10 bonus points. I planned to roll Harvick and I will keep my word. I think Harvick will finish 2-3 (or more) spots ahead.
B:
Start - Paul Menard (8) , Aric Almirola (9)
Bench: Jamie Mac (8) , Kurt Busch (6)
Reason - This week it all about start-saving. Swapping 42 out for 43 was a really good call. As Almirola looks like a steal this weekend. The 43 team think they can run up front and contend for a win. Also this is their best starting position of the season. Hard to pass up this potential! Menard vs JMac really a coin toss IMO. Don't expect either to run better than top 15. I have a feeling Menard will run a little better. Just a gut feeling.
C:
Start: Erik Jones (9)
Bench: Danica Patrick (9)
Reason - Easy call. Jones is much much fast and start further up. Track position is huge here , so it pretty much a no-brainer.
Fantasy Live - 4,22,48,33,40
