Welcome to TimersSports
After a mess at Sonoma , now we turn our attention to another messy race at Daytona. This will be another great track to put it all on the line with our fantasy picks. Everyone in your league will have a different strategy in mind. We could probably start any driver in the field in our lineups and still have a equal chance of finishing well. Some people will go with the top more well known names to fill out their fantasy lineups like myself. Or others will employ more risky fantasy options that the competition will probably overlook. Either way I am excited for this week's race.
Yahoo -
A:
Start: Dale Earnhardt Jr (7)
Bench: Jeff Gordon (8)
Reason -Okay this is probably the easiest decision of your lineup. Dale Jr is starting from the pole and he been the best driver at this track for a long time. Gordon on the other hand have had some very tough luck at Daytona lately. Roll with the pole sitter.
B:
Start - Clint Bowyer (7) and Jamie McMurray (7)
Bench - Austin Dillon (8) and Kasey Kahne (4)
Reason - I am rolling with Bowyer and McMurray because they are two of the most popular fantasy options this weekend. I love Dillon, but anything can happen at Daytona. So I am rolling with the majority on this one.
C:
Start - Danica Patrick (6)
Bench - Ryan Blaney (7)
Reason -I probably made a mistake in setting my lineup. I wanted to save Danica for a more predictable racetrack as I think down the road we will get 7-9 starts from her. However Blaney missed the race after qualifying got rained out. So really forces our hand.
