Fantasy Nascar Picks (Sonoma)

iWelcome to TimersSports

Sonoma Raceway is located in Sonoma , CA and is the first of two road course on the 2015 schedule. Sonoma is in my opinion one of the toughest tracks to master on the schedule. It have turns that alter from left to right throughout the entire course. The key this weekend will be to understand which drivers have found success from a track history vantage point. Typically drivers who have found success on road courses in the past will be able to continue. Is it given? No. But it definitely helps. For example , over the past 3 seasons: 14 drivers have least 2 Top 15 finishes of  20 drivers to post finishes inside the top 15.

Yahoo -

A:

Start: Jeff Gordon (9)

Bench: Joey Logano (6)

Explanation -Go ahead and get fancy if you want. Gordon was selected by 53% of all Yahoo users this week and starts from 5th. I find it very hard to use anyone else in this grouping. He is by far the best fantasy option. Gordon should be a top 5 play.


B:

Start: AJ Dinger (7) , Clint Bowyer (9)

 Bench: Jamie McMurray (6) , Greg Biffle (9)

Explanation - Pretty easy decisions! Dinger start from the pole and Bowyer start from just outside the top 5. I find it very hard to bench either of those options. I expect Dinger to lead some laps and finish inside the top 5. Same with Bowyer. No need to get fancy folks.

Start: Michael McDowell (9)

Bench: David Gilliland (9)

 Explantion - McDowell and Gilliland are dead even in almost every category headed into Sunday's race. From equipment to track record they match up pretty evenly. So who gives me the better chance of gaining ground on the competition? McDowell it is.
