Driver Group Game -
A -
Starter - Martin Truex Jr
Bench - Kevin Harvick
Explanation - I am sure this is the decision that many are faced with this weekend at Charlotte. I think most player picked these two drivers for clear-cut reasons. One has the most success on the 1.5 mile tracks and the another has been impressive at Charlotte lately. However, one failed qualifying and another qualified outside top 12. I thought Truex Jr was better in practice and started closer to the front. Truex Jr it is!
B -
Starter - Ryan Blaney, Erik Jones
Bench - Clint Bowyer, Aric Almirola
Reasons - I could easily decide to go with all-SHR in B, but I think Blaney and Jones is the better combo. Jones has been great on 1.5 mile tracks all season and looked like the man to beat on Saturday. Ryan Blaney is a question mark, but he has been fast all season long. This is a great week to use him, I think. Especially since, Jones and Truex Jr both have top 5 potential. I say go with the upside and use your studs. After all, this is the biggest race of the season!
Kurt Busch is also someone I really like this weekend. He would be my No.3 driver in this grouping tier. If I had him, I would consider benching Blaney honestly. If those were your two options. Daniel Suarez is another good option, I think
Not really a fan of Jamie Mac, despite qualifying in the top 10. I think he is getting too much hype and won't live up to it. Chase Elliott isn't on my good list, either. The HMS cars are still lacking the speed!
C:
Start - William Byron
Bench - Darrell Wallace Jr
Reasons - We clearly don't have a c-list like in 2014, 2016 or 2017. We have been soiled rotten with all of the stars in the C-list. This year, I don't think any of them can challenge for top 10 or top 15 finishes on a regular basis. Byron and Bowman are our stars and they usually are only good for top 20 finishes. On their best days? Closer to the top 10. Hard to say who is the best one this weekend. I would say Byron, but who knows. I think Wallace Jr will be better than most of us expect though. However, I am thinking it is wiser to use him later on in the season
Dark Horse - Erik Jones
Winner - Martin Truex Jr
