Welcome to TimersSports
We are at Martinsville this weekend the 33rd race of the 2016 season and the first race of the round of 8. After Talladega was over, 4 drivers were eliminated which will have a impact on fantasy nascar picks this weekend and the final couple races as well. I think Martinsville is a unique racetrack and doesn't have any similarity to any other racetrack on the schedule. It is very important to build your fantasy lineup around your race studs. Certain drivers always seems to run well here overall and they should be on your fantasy lineup once again this weekend. I built all of my lineups around likes of Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick and other top drivers at this track. After that, I built rest of my lineup from the ground up from that. It's usually a good way to attack this place.
Yahoo -
A:
Start - Kyle Busch (2)
Bench - Jimmie Johnson (4)
Reasons -Kyle Busch starts from 9th, but I think he has a great shot at going to victory lane. Earlier this season, he started from 7th and led the most laps on his way to an impressive win. He entered the weekend under the radar and to my surprise remains that way. There's some sites on there that lists him as a dark horse. A dark horse? He's a heavy favorite folks and you can count of that. Very fast car on Saturday.
B:
Carl Edwards (2), Jamie Mac (4)
Kasey Kahne (2) Kyle Larson (1)
Reasons - I am keeping it simple this week and going with a stud and a solid sleeper. So I am going with Edwards over Larson. I simply trust Edwards more, even though the 42 has more speed. Jamie Mac over Kahne is about who has the better car and trust. Jamie holds the edge in both of those things. Not a lot to say otherwise. My reasons are pretty straightforward I think.
C:
Start - Jeff Gordon (4)
Bench - Chase Elliott (2)
Reasons - There isn't a lot to say about C this week, but go with the experience vet in Jeff Gordon. I like Gordon this weekend a lot much more than anyone else really.Elliott haven't looked that great this weekend and I have far more faith in Gordon than Elliott at this track. Go with Gordon and move on! Easiest choice of the weekend.
Fantasy Live - 18,48, 4, 23 and 83
Reasons - Difficult week to make picks with so many laps. So you want heavy hitters in your lineup. You want to go top heavy with drivers who can lead laps. So I am going with Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson. I wanted to go with Truex, but I have faith that the 48 or 18 could grab the lead before he does too much damage though. Then I am going with Harvick to gain me a ton of positions from 20th place. While 23 and 83 are value plays pretty much. The 83 has a habit of moving up in the race at Martinsville, hopefully he finishes inside the top 25. David Ragan in the 23 is a risky play but I am hoping he finishes inside the top 20. Because that would be huge and the positions loss wouldn't be as bad.
Sleeper - Jamie Mac
Winner - Kyle Busch
