Fantasy Nascar Picks (Michigan)

Welcome to TimersSports

We are at Michigan this weekend for the second time. Nascar will employ the high-drag package like we saw at Indy. It was a epic fail at Indy, but we all saw that coming as the racing there for Stock cars isn't that great. So the new package wasn't gonna change much. However I expect this weekend to be much different. Truthfully I am not sure what to expect, even though the same cars should be fast. Question how do you attack Michigan? Do you go a aggressive route and try to find hidden value or do you play it safe with the more well-known options? Either way I am looking forward to it.

A:

Start - Kevin Harvick (5)

Bench - Kyle Busch (4)

Reasons -I planned to use Busch, but he now starting in an backup car. So that pretty much forced my hand with Harvick. I still think Busch have top 10 outlook, but he won't win on Sunday IMO.

B:

Start - Clint Bowyer (6) and Carl Edwards (6)

Bench - Jamie Mac (6) and Kasey Kahne (4)

Reasons -  It a pretty easy choice this week. JGR looks tough to beat and Edwards have an top 5 car heading into Sunday's race. Boiwyer should be able to finish inside the top 15 pretty easily and maybe even top 10. I will take those type of drivers all day long.

C:

Start - Ryan Blaney (6)

Bench - Danica Patrick (3)

Reasons - Tough call between Patrick and Blaney. I am going with Blaney because I have more starts left and Blaney isn't running the full schedule , so we will have less opportunities. 

Fantasy Live - 19,4, 78, 55 and 13

Sleeper Pick - Ryan Blaney

Winner -Kevin Harvick
