Welcome to TimersSports
After a tough start to the chase, we find ourselves in a hole. No real concerns with New Hampshire next on the schedule! This is the one track you need track position at as passing is tough, unless you have a real fast car. Even then it would take awhile to move back to the front. This is also one of the shortest races on the schedule with only 301 miles around this 1-mile short-flat track. Therefore teams will be trying different strategies from the first pit stop. So who do you pick this weekend at New Hampshire? I have some suggestions below for you to consider!
Let get started!
Yahoo -
A:
Start: Brad Keselowski (8)
Bench: Kyle Busch (1)
Reasons - It came down to a few things between Keselowski and Busch! I decided to go with Keselowski because I have more starts, he starting up front and I like his track record. I thought Busch was just as good as anyone in final practice.
B:
Start: Kurt Busch (3), Aric Almirola (6)
Bench: Jamie Mac (3) , Martin Truex Jr (4)
Reasons - I regret swapping Edwards out at the last second for Kurt Busch, but I knew I would have hard time benching Edwards. So I will start Kurt Busch from 3rd and Almirola from 15th. Almirola is very underrated driver and he should be a solid start-save. Hopefully he finishes closer to the top 10 like he did last week.
C:
Start: Justin Allgaier (7)
Bench: Danica Patrick (3)
Reasons - Easy decision here. Allgaier and Danica should finish close to each other. So it came down to starts and I need to get a few start-saves in C. Obvious choice here is Justin! Especially since I used my last Ragan at Chicagoland.
Fantasy Live - 18,19,4, 3 and 26
Sleeper - Aric Almirola
Winner - Brad Keselowski
