Welcome to TimersSports
Last week didn't go according to plan, either. And that's okay, it is hard to judge the first couple races of the season, with extremely little season data. Now that we have Atlanta under our belts, we now have a better idea what to expect. I always feel better going into Vegas than Atlanta, because there is a better idea on what to expect. Does Atlanta's success always translate into Vegas' success? Nope, we could see a complete 360 spin on it. So this week, I plan to use a combination of last week's results and past seasonal data.
Let's get started!
Yahoo -
A:
Start - Brad Keselowski (9)
Bench - Joey Logano (8)
Reasons -I thought about Harvick, but in the end I went with both the Penske cars. Good idea, too. Keselowski will start on the pole and Logano will start inside the top 10 as well. Keselowski is the easy start this weekend. He will start 1st and should be able to get us 10 bonus points. Like I said, a pretty easy call.
B:
Start - Kasey Kahne (9), Kyle Larson (9)
Bench - Ryan Newman (8), Chase Elliott (8)
Reasons -My only mistake this week was not listening to my fellow TimersSports writer about Ryan Blaney. Props, Garry Briggs. He looks great overall! As for my picks, I have three awesome picks and then Ryan Newman. So who should I start between Kasey Kahne, Kyle Larson or Chase Elliott? Well, Kyle Larson looks like a top 5 driver, so lock him up. So how about between Kahne and Elliott? Well I should go with Elliott, but I will go with Kahne though. He's looks great and should be a top 10 play. I used a Chase Elliott start already, so nice to save him
C:
Start - Erik Jones (9)
Bench - Ty Dillon (8)
Reasons -Erik Jones once again looks like a top 15 driver in practice. If he looks top 15 in practice, then you should expect a top 10 out of him in the race. Just like last weekend. I thought he looked better in practice this weekend than last.
Fantasy Live - 4,42,24,34 and 13
Sleeper - Ryan Blaney
Winner - Brad Keselowski
