2018 Fantasy Nascar Picks (Michigan)

Welcome to TimersSports

Fantasy Nascar Picks -

Driver Group Game -

A:

Start - Kyle Busch

Bench - Martin Truex Jr

Reasons - Well my mistake probably was leaving off Kevin Harvick. I knew it was a bad idea and I did anyways. I don't believe, it is a huge deal in this grouping tier with guys like Truex Jr and Busch, but I still believe that Harvick is the odds-on favorite. I think Kyle Larson is another great choice as well. I believe Kyle Busch will be top 5 good when it all said and done, but I don't have a good feeling about Martin Truex Jr this weekend. I just don't!

B:

Start - Clint Bowyer and Ryan Blaney

Bench - Chase Elliott and Aric Almirola

Reasons - I planned to use Almiorla and Bowyer this week and save the likes of Blaney and Elliott, but I think Blaney is too good to bench. He has shown top 5 speed this weekend and Michigan seems to be one of his favorite tracks. However, I do wish I had Erik Jones this weekend. He looks like a legit threat for the win. I had him on my roster but switched him out late Thursday. Isn't that how it goes?

I like, but don't love Chase Elliott this weekend. He qualifies deeper than I liked and has shown at best that he is a top 10 guy. Kurt Busch is another driver that I think was a bit overhyped this weekend. He's pretty decent, but his two teammates are much better than he is, in my opinion.

C:

Start - William Byron

Bench - Alex Bowman

Reasons - I am going with Byron because I have more starts with Byron than Bowman, but either way I don't think that there is a huge difference. In the event, I am expecting them to be within a few spots of each other for most of the race. If starts didn't matter, I would give the slight edge to Bowman though.

Dark Horse - Erik Jones

Winner - Kevin Harvick
