Welcome to TimersSports
Alright a tough start the season last week, but it a new week and a new opportunity to rebound from Daytona. I love Atlanta! This is my favorite racetrack on the schedule and I consider this my home racetrack for many years, until I moved out to Los Angeles after end 2014. I like the racing here and I think the racing will be even better this season. I am very excited to see who comes out fast and who comes out struggling. I personally expect the teams from JGR and Penske to perform the strongest this weekend. They were lights out last season when we tested out this rules package, and I don't have any reason to believe why we should think any different heading into practice. Once again this week, I am keeping my picks pretty simple and straight forward. Let get into today's picks!
Yahoo -
A:
Start - Kevin Harvick (9)
Bench - Joey Logano (9)
Reasons - I am going with Harvick over Logano for one simple reason and that is I don't think Logano have that good of a car this weekend. Harvick have looked far less than dominated, but still looks like a top 5 guy with a solid starting position. I am sure Kevin will be able to get to the lead and earn me some bonus points as well.
B:
Martin Truex Jr (9), Kyle Larson (9)
Kasey Kahne (9), Carl Edwards (9)
Reasons - Let keep it nice and simple, okay? Truex is very happy with his car after final practice and well I just trust Larson more than Kahne. I simply don't trust that Kahne will deliver me a top 10 finish like Larson should. And Edwards just seems a little off to me overall.
C:
Start - Ty Dillon (9)
Bench - Chase Elliott (9)
Reasons - It all saving Elliott for his best 9 tracks and I don't this will be one of them. Atlanta is a tough track that rewards experience more often than not. Plus Dillon is only running a limited schedule, so pretty much makes my decision set in stone. There will be plenty of chances to use Elliott later this season.
Fantasy Live - 48,18,41,23 and 7
Sleeper - Jamie Mac
Winner - Johnson
