Fantasy Nascar Picks (Charlotte)

Welcome to TimersSports

Fantasy Nascar Picks -

Well that was a interesting weekend at Dover, so let's not waste any time and quickly dig into Charlotte. We have a pretty short week overall as well. Since this weekend's race is on Saturday night and qualifying is on Thursday night. Which only give us a couple days to ponder fantasy nascar decisions. Also there are other factors such as the threat of rain as well from that strong storm (Matthew) which is expected to slam the East coast much of this week. Also, we have to take into consideration stuff like how practice will be held in daylight hours and racing late at night. You can expect the top teams to dominate this 500 mile event as well.


Yahoo -

A:

Start - Kevin Harvick (3)

Bench - Jimmie Johnson (6)

Reasons - This is a pretty choice this week. Harvick is a stud and he is starting from the pole. No way you are benching the pole sitter, unless you think he will have two bad weeks in a row. Yeah, I didn't think so either. Johnson and Busch are the next preferred options in that exact order.

B:

Start - Martin Truex Jr (3), Kasey Kahne (5)

Bench- Austin Dillon (4), Carl Edwards (2)

Reasons -Truex Jr is a lock to start, even if he doesn't start inside the top 5. He will find himself the lead eventually and then you can enjoy those fine 10 bonus points for leading a lap. Who to pair him with? Carl Edwards is an option, but I don't really trust him that much right now. Austin Dillon is very consistent, but he lacks upside. So I don't know, If I want him. Then there is Kasey Kahne. He has been very consistent since Darlington and on a top 12 hot streak. I am starting Kahne once again, because that 5 team have been putting out quality finishes, I don't know how long that last for.

C:

Start - Chase Elliott (2)

Bench - Ryan Blaney (3)

Reasons -Elliott will start from inside the top 5 and should be started at Charlotte. If he stays up front, I think he will have a great shot at the win. At this point in the season, you pretty much have to start him. You aren't saving him, because there may not be anything to save him for. What track that is left, does he have a chance at winning? I mean for real here, is there any track that stands out strongly for him? Not really. Start him!
