Welcome to TimersSports
Back to some Nascar this week! I am very excited about returning here to this blog and delivering my fantasy picks each and every week. I really thought last season's race at Homestead would be my final race of writing fantasy content, but I would miss it too much to give it up. Anyhow this week race will be the sport's biggest event the Daytona 500! I don't think there a bad way to go with selecting your fantasy lineup, but I don't think there a right way either sadly. Just know your leagues rules and you should be fine. You will need a lot of luck and a lot to go right. Personally I plan to take a pretty safe approach with my fantasy lineups.
Let get started!
Yahoo -
A:
Start:Dale Jr (9)
Bench: Denny Hamlin (9)
Reasons: Dale Earnhardt Jr. That is all you need to know about A-list this week. You give me Dale vs the field, and I am still taking the 88 car. His numbers speak for themselves and he have knack for finishing up front at the 500. 4 of the past 5 Daytona 500 races have ended inside the top 3. He was very stout in his duel. He drove around the 11 for lead with no drafting help, that should tell you something about his car for Sunday's race. I think he finishes up front and leads the most laps.
B:
Start: Casey Mears (9), Austin Dillon (9)
Bench: Ricky Stenhouse Jr (9), Jamie Mac (9)
Reasons - In B I am going to keep it simple. I am paring one sure thing with one solid sleeper. Dillon have been very effective so far in his cup career at Daytona and have never finished outside the top 15. I will take that from him. I am going to pair him with Casey Mears. He been consistently one of the best sleepers at Daytona and I think it time to jump on the bandwagon. Mears have proven himself enough where he is actually pretty safe fantasy option. Even though everyone keeps overlooking him every season.
C:
Start - Brian Vickers (9)
Bench - Chase Elliott (9)
Reasons - I was going to go with Cassill but I have decided back out of that. I am going to Vickers because he have a fast car and is a solid driver on the plates. Besides don't know how many chances, we will get to use him. Elliott will serve as backup to Vickers, but I think there are better places to use him. Especially if something happens to him during the race.
