Fantasy Nascar Picks (Kentucky)

Welcome to TimersSports

Kentucky Speedway is this week's stop on the 2015 schedule. In my opinion, this is one of the most boring races we go to. Hopefully the new package being debut at this week will shake things up and create more passing. However I am afraid with the current tire they are bringing it won't do much good. The key to success this week may heavily rely on Wednesday's testing results. Now remember there only a selected amount of races that will be using a new race package (as of right). I also have heard this package will be used again at Darlington. So we will see what Nascar decisions to do with it.


Yahoo -

A:

Start - Kyle Busch (9)

Bench - Jimmie Johnson (6)

Reason - Johnson vs Busch is a tough one. I think Johnson have more security, but I think Busch have more potential and upside. Johnson will be good no doubt, but I just wasn't overly impressed. Usually when Johnson gonna dominate a race, we can see it in practice. This week I didn't see it.

B:

Start - Kurt Busch (4) , Carl Edwards (8)

Bench - Kasey Kahne (4) , Paul Menard (6)

Reasons -Welp I made my bed and now I will have to lay in it. The best two options in this tier in my opinion this week are Truex and possibly Larson. I left them both off. So going with Busch and Edwards over Kahne and Menard. I don't love Busch this week, but he will be a solid option no doubt. With Edwards I am pretty much rolling the dice with. He wasn't very good in practice, but if history holds true then he will finish up front. He love screwing with us fantasy players minds.

C:

Start - Danica Patrick (5)

Bench - Ryan Blaney (7)

Reasons -Pretty easy decision. Blaney missed the race, so Danica get the start. Plus this grouping tier is pretty weak outside of Danica and Ragan.

Sleeper - Paul Menard

Winner - Brad Keselowski
