Welcome to TimersSports
After domination of Joey Logano at Charlotte, we turn our attention to Kansas! This is a tricky place to make fantasy picks for. You have methods this week with track position being so huge. You can either go with the flow and load up on big names driver. Or the more uncommon method of taking some chances with some under the radar driver. Also qualifying will be a major factor as no driver have won from outside of the top 13 since the repave a few years ago. In fact most of the winners have started inside the top 5. Here are my picks for this week!
Yahoo -
A:
Start - Joey Logano (7)
Bench - Kevin Harvick (3)
Reasons - I don't have any agenda on how many times I use a driver. I am gonna start who I think will give me the best opportunity to score max points. Harvick starts up front, but he wasn't all too impressive to me. Logano on the other hand was easily one of the best drivers in practice on Saturday and shouldn't have problems going to the front!
B:
Start - Martin Truex Jr (3), Carl Edwards (2)
Bench - Kurt Busch (2) , Aric Almirola (4)
Reasons - Not much of a debate for me honestly. Truex was pretty much a lock considering he calls this his best track. He qualified well and practiced well, too. Those are good signs and I like good signs! I should probably save Edwards for Texas and Phoenix or Homestead, but he looks too good to bench for my reamining options. Plus I never been one to save my picks.
C:
Start - Ryan Blaney (5)
Bench - Danica Patrick (3)
Reasons -It was never a debate that I would start Blaney or not. He qualified well and he practiced well. No reason to get fancy and hope for Danica to pull off a miracle or something.
Fantasy Live - Johnson, Keselowski, Truex, Dillon and Annett
Sleeper - Paul Menard
Winner - Brad Keselowski
