A:
Start - Denny Hamlin (7)
Bench - Jimmie Johnson (9)
Reasons - Truex Jr has the fastest car and it is no secret that he has a great track record here. I think most people will be rolling with Truex Jr. I cannot blame you if you do, but I am going with a different combination. Johnson and Hamlin. It is not a popular combination, but it could be effective one though. Both had good speed in practice and either could win. I am leaning Hamlin right now. He loved his car in race trim and finished top 2 in both road courses races in 2016. Now thinking about it, I should had probably had Kyle Busch on my team instead of Johnson. But I am okay with this. If Truex Jr or Busch have a off-day, then we can cash in. But I am okay with Johnson and Hamlin though. Both looked good in race trim, so there's that.
B:
Start - Clint Bowyer (6), AJ Dinger (7)
Bench - Kyle Larson (6) and Kasey Kahne (9)
Reasons - I feel pretty good where I am at with my starts right now. I have 6 with Larason and 7 with Elliott. I have done a great job start saving for the most part. With nailing down both of Larson wins and another top 5 with Elliott. That's good. Also have four Blaney left, six with Bowyer and five with JMac. Overall, I will be in great shape at end of the season. So I feel good about using a Bowyer start here at one of his best tracks. He has been fast all season long. Dinger won't be used for rest of the season most likely. The only problem is most people will have him as a starter.So Dinger is the lock. The question is Bowyer or Larson. I think the #14 car will be strong on Sunday, but Larson is starting on the pole. Do I think Larson will win? Personally, yes I think there is a good chance of that. Kinda in a rock and a hard place. On one hand, I want to use Larson when he looks like a max points guy. On the other hand, I know it wise to start-save at a road course.
C:
Start - Michael McDowell (7)
Bench - Billy Johnson (9)
Reasons - McDowell is running better than he has ever in the past and that is very notable. Why? His equipment is the main thing that has held him back. This time it is different because the 95 team has better stuff. And McDowell is an ace on this type of track. More specifically, he is a driver that will excel at Sonoma. This place awards road course skills on the long haul. You can make a mistake here easily and Michael isn't one of the guys that should happen him.
Fantasy Live - 48,20,47,38 and 11
Reasons - This is pretty short race, so I going hard for points diff. points in this game. Johnson will start 24th, so that's a lock with his speed and track record. He's very underrated, in my opinion. Kenseth is starting 38th, so he is definitely a lock. He will move up about 20 or 30 spots. That's a lone will make him a great pick. Hamlin will start outside of the top 12, but he loved his car in practice. I will take him to pair with the 38 as a value pick. And Dinger, I think can lead some laps in the race. Either way, it is about his good price that is most appealing to me.
Fox Fantasy Auto Racing - 48,20,77,22 and 4
Reasons - The fox game is about moving forward. Which makes it pretty easy this weekend. Johnson and Kenseth both start outside of the top 20. They should be locks. Logano will start 18th and he is a great road course racer. Very underrated. Harvick is on here because he has top 5 potential and will start 12th.
Sleeper - Michael McDowell
Winner - Kyle Larson
