Fantasy Nascar Picks (WGI)

Welcome to TimersSports

We are headed to Watkins Glenn this weekend for the 2nd road course of the 2015 season. This the more stock car-like course of the two. I personally enjoy the racing at the Glenn more than Sonoma because how the track is set up. I don't know if the racing is better, but it probably a little more fantasy friendly due it more room to make passes. However that don't always hold true. Overall the two road courses are two different tracks, so trying to compare drivers at one to another is quite difficult. The Key to this weekend will be trying to find the road course aces and build your teams around them heavily.

A:

Start - Kyle Busch (6)

Bench - Brad Keselowski (7)

Reasons - Easy choice. Stick with the hot hand in Kyle Busch. He will roll off from 8th and should be able to race up to the top 5 and contend for a win. Keselowski should be able to do the same but I think it be much more difficult though.

B:

Start - AJ Dinger (8), Kyle Larson (5)

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

Reasons -I made one late change after practice on Friday night and that was Larson over Busch. It was a pretty good call as Larson starts from 6th. Dinger is a lock with starting on the pole. I want to use Bowyer but I don't him as much as Larson. Bowyer have a background of a road course racer, but he starts too deep for my liking. Plus I wasn't convinced he had a top 5 car in practice.

C:

Start - Justin Allagier (9)

Bench - Danica Patrick (5)

Reasons -Allagier starts from 12th and looked solid in practice. So that is a pretty call for us. Danica will be good but doubt she outruns the 51 car though.
