Fantasy Nascar Picks (Phoenix)

Welcome to TimersSports

We are headed to Phoenix RaceWay for the 35th race of the season this weekend! A place that have seen Kevin Harvick dominate over the past few seasons. Phoenix is a 1-mile short flat racetrack, so we should look at stats from similar racetracks this season and past data from Phoenix. You can check out Jeff's Fantasy Nascar Preview (Click here), very good stuff! I don't really like going against the majority at Phoenix, so I plan to load heavy on the chase drivers. There probably won't be a lot of passing, so don't be shocked to see the same drivers dominate on Sunday.

Here is today's picks!

Yahoo -

A:

Start - Kevin Harvick

Bench - Joey Logano

Reasons - PIR is Harvick's playground, so I am not benching him for a slower Logano who needs to win to advance. Also feel like Penske is lacking too much speed and probably only have a top 10 car.

B:

Start - Kasey Kahne, Kurt Busch,

Bench - Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr

Reasons - Not real tough decisions this week for me. Kahne and Busch look like the best combo among the 4 drivers I have selected. Kurt Busch probably have the best car for Sunday's race. So there no way I can bench him. The final spot came down to Kahne, Bowyer or Truex. I want to save Truex for homestead, since I am using Busch here. So Kahne or Bowyer? I went with the driver with more speed and starting closer to the front. Kasey Kahne it is!


C:

Start - Erik Jones

Bench- Danica Patrick

Reasons -Erik Jones vs Danica Patrick. I don't think I really need to explain this decision, but alright then. Erik Jones have way more upside and potential than Danica Patrick. That alone should make him a obvious start. Especially since Kenseth will be back next week. 

Fantasy Live -4,41,48,51 and 3

Sleeper -Austin Dillon

Winner - Kevin Harvick
