Welcome to TimersSports
This has been a very busy week with my day job, besides contributing to this website. So I wasn't able to do much research or posting for really any content from Tuesday on. It is what it is, sometimes life just get in the way. Anybody who write fantasy sport articles can probably relate to that. Anyways, I am very much looking forward this weekend at Kansas Speedway. I will peronsonally have my eyes on the drivers who had bad luck last week at Charlotte. I think quite a few of those drivers will contend for the win this weekend, two of them has been very fast in the chase and contending for wins. At Kansas, passing isn't quite as tough as was when this track was first repaved. It is starting to age some and that will open up some racing grooves at this track again. It has a ways before it was before the repave, but I like what I saw back in May. It was a pretty good race overall and I am expecting nothing less this time around. As for fantasy picks, I would still try to target the top drivers at Kansas. Sleepers has been commonly encouraged at Kansas since the repave, since isn't crazy. But I prefer them at the first Kansas race to the two one though, I think Sunday's race will be primary dominated by chase drivers inside the top 10. Some sleepers will be in the low-teens though, if you are looking for that.
Yahoo -
A:
Start - Kyle Busch (3)
Bench - Jimmie Johnson (6)
Reasons - I really like Kyle Busch this weekend at Kansas, he has broken the trend of bad finishes at Kansas and now is one of the hottest drivers in the series here. He has a fast car this weekend and will start from 2nd place. I really liked Johnson headed into the weekend, but he starts deep in the field and has a win already. May not be the best combo overall. He should be solid still though.
B:
Start - Kasey Kahne (4), Jamie Mac (6)
Bench - Carl Edwards (2), Martin Truex Jr (2)
Reasons - A lot of tough decisions this week, but after watching Charlotte last week, I am thinking this will be another crazy race. Why? Because several drivers will be on high-alert after getting put in the hole. For that reason, I am rolling with a more start-save approach. So I am starting Kahne and Jamie Mac. Edwards and Truex are better, but I will save them for another week. I feel good about having their starts in the final couple races.
C:
Start - Ryan Blaney (2)
Bench - Chase Elliott (2)
Reasons - I think Elliott is much faster than Blaney this weekend, but it not about who faster but who is the better play. Personally, I think we are in for a crazy race. So, I am going for Blaney over Elliott. It could be a mistake, but I am okay with that though. I think both will finish in the 5th-14th range. Not losing many points overall.
Fantasy Live - 18,4,20,38 and 46
Reasons - I am going top heavy this weekend at Kansas. Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth starts up front. So I am hoping they can hold down the lead, until Harvick grabs the lead later in the race. Honestly, I would go with someone like Johnson or Larson but that be only if I thought I could make a balanced lineup work well. Nobody in the middle salary cap range is super appealing to me. Since nobody with a top 20 car really qualified poorly. If there was a good option in the 18.00 or less range, then it would be Aric Almirola from 35th place. Anyways, Cassill and Annett are simply for their prices. Also they should make up each a few spots.
Sleeper - Ricky Stenhouse Jr
Winner - Kyle Busch
