Welcome to TimersSports
Last week was a success for the most part. Las Vegas was basically about going with the ''big name'' drivers and if you did, then there's a good chance you had plenty to cheer about. Unless you had someone like Kevin Harvick or Jimmie Johnson. Then you may not be in such of a good mood. But good news, there's another race this weekend and another chance to rebound. Phoenix is a 1-mile short flat racetrack, this is the first time we will have to visit one of these short flat racetracks. How do we attack Phoenix? Well, we should look at recent season's data there, of course. Then, we should look at the drivers which had ran well with this race package. It is not an intermediate track, but still a good idea to keep those results in mind. And look at which drivers have momentum right now, in fantasy racing I think that is very important. And if you really want, you should take a look at the testing results from January, that never hurts, either.
Yahoo -
A:
Start - Kevin Harvick (8)
Bench - Brad Keselowski (8)
Reasons - Harvick qualfiied poorly, but he looked okay in race trim. Nothing special, he's struggled for the most part. But I will take a shot with him, as I am sure most will. Long as you don't have Logano. I still think Harvick is very capable of being a top 10 driver and maybe just maybe more. You won't lose too much, if you go with Harvick
B:
Start - Ryan Blaney (9) and Chase Elliott (8)
Bench - Ryan Newman (9) and Kyle Larson (8)
Reasons -A lot of good choices to go with this weekend. Ryan Blaney is a lock for me. He's qualified 2nd and drives for the wood brothers. They get a lot help from Team Penske. That's a great thing for them. Hard to know if the 21 team will keep up the speed, so need to take advantage of it. So for the second choice, let's go with process of elimination. First off, Newman have work to do before he's a top 10 driver. So, he's out. So Larson or Elliott? Both are good options to go with, but I am going with Elliott. Just been more impressed with him so far this weekend.
C:
Start - Erik Jones (8)
Bench - Ty Dillon (8)
Reasons - Easy decisions in C again this week. Dillon and Jones once again because they are the best two drivers available. Dillon qualified in the top 15, but I think Jones will outrun him and finish better, too.
Fantasy Live - 4,22,72, 95 and 24
Sleeper - Jamie Mac
Winner - Kyle Busch
