Fantasy Nascar Picks -
Driver Game Group -
A:
Start - Kevin Harvick
Bench - Martin Truex Jr
Reasons -Heading into the week, I planned to use Martin Truex Jr. While he has the 3rd or 4th best car so far this weekend, I cannot use him. Why? Kevin Harvick has another dominant car on the long runs. I think he is gonna eat up the field once again. If you have him, you better use him. I think he is gonna win his second race of the season.
B:
Start - Ryan Blaney, Clint Bowyer,
Bench - Daniel Suarez and Erik Jones
Reasons -After qualifying, there so questions on who I would start between Jones and Bowyer. Both started near each other and thought it would be a toss up. But then Bowyer looked so damn good in practice on Saturday. He's good enough where I feel good about starting him and giving the JGR cars the weekend off. Of course, I am gonna use Ryan Blaney from the pole.
Chase Elliott has a fast car this weekend, too. Ideally, Blaney and Elliott are the two guys that I would like to use. Bowyer is in the mix, too. Guys like Newman and Kurt Busch should also be considered. They are capable of top 10 finishes or at worst top 12 finishes.
C:
Start - William Byron
Bench - Alex Bowman
Reasons - I used my Alex Bowman start last week, so I will use my William Byron start this week. I feel a little better about Bryon than Bowman anyhow. The 24 car looks plenty better than he did last weekend. The 24 car been at top of the speed charts since unloading. Good to see from the rookie. In fact, the HMS cars are all looking better than they were at Atlanta.
Fantasy Live - Kevin Harvick, Kyle Larson, Clint Bowyer, Brad Keselowski, Ryan Blaney and Martin Truex Jr (garage driver)
Reasons - Kevin Harvick and Kyle Larson are the best two drivers entering this race. I think both drivers are gonna finish in the top 5 with ease and challenge for the win. Keselowski and Blaney will also contend for the win and I haven't used either drivers yet. This should be a good place to employ them both. My 5th driver is Clint Bowyer. He has momentum and it seems likely that he do more damage at Las Vegas.
My garage driver is Martin Truex Jr. I would add him as one of my five picks, but I want to see how good he is in the race. If he get to the lead and looks awesome, then I will gladly switch him out. If not, I am fine with saving him for later in the season when he can give me max points.
SlingShot Fantasy Auto - Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, Ryan Newman, William Byron and Aric Almirola
Reasons - There are only 400 miles this week, so you will want drivers that can get you those valuable position points. I will be honest, there are not a lot of great choices that are outside of the top 10. Clint Bowyer is probably the drivers I am most excited about outside of the top 10 starts. So I will take him. Ryan Newman is starting 25th, but he looked solid in practice. Probably good enough to at least challenge for the top 15. William Bryon will be starting 17th and is a cheap price driver. He also has shown enough speed, where I feel decent about him moving forward. Then there Aric Almirola who will be starting 29th. I think he will at least get into the top 20. Even with him struggling, I would be shocked if he finished worse than 20th. His teammates are all pretty fast, so I would expect him to move forward.
Dark Horse - Clint Bowyer
Winner - Kevin Harvick
