Fantasy Nascar Picks -
DGG Picks -
Starter - Martin Truex Jr
Bench - Kevin Harvick
Reasons - I have a strong gut feeling about Martin Truex Jr this weekend. Maybe he's just due for some good luck after the last few Darlington races or after all the rotten luck in the first 4 races? I also factored in all the speed the #19 car had before the break. It doesn't mean it will automatically translate, but I am keeping it in mind. With that said, i love my bench driver in Kevin Harvick. He's probably the safest option to go with, as he just get consistent good finishes overall. Not just good finishes, but typically will find himself in the top 5 at some point. If he's strong in Sunday's race, he will be in my lineup again in a few days!
B:
Starters - Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch
Bench - William Byron and Chris Buescher
Reasons - Erik Jones seem to be a popular pick within the fantasy nascar community and why shouldn't he be with his impressive Darlington record? With that said, he didn't performed well before the break. That's the reason I am leaving him off for this race. Runs well on Sunday, then I will plug him in a few days. As for my picks, I am most likely starting Johnson and Kurt Busch. Johnson was strong before the break and ran well at Darlington in last season's race. In fact, the HMS cars were all very good in that race. Yet, none of them came away with a top 10 finish. I will pair him with Kurt Busch. A savy vet with enough ablities to get the job done here at Darlington. He's a very safe pick, in my opinion. If you are looking to go off-sequence with a sleeper, then look no further than Chris Buescher! No seriously! He's really good and looked competitive before the break. He had no finishes worse than 17th through 4 races this season and drove the 37 car over the past few years to some solid finishes. He looks even better at RFR. This guy is talented as heck and I always believed that, too.
C:
Starter - Matt Kenseth
Bench - Tyler Reddick
Reasons - I am not messing around here. Darlington can be a tough track for young drivers, so I am going Kenseth here. He has raced in a few years, but he should have a great chance to least get a teen finish out of the No.42 car. Reddick is a great choice, if you aren't looking to jump on the Kenseth bandwagon.
Fantasy Live -
Brad Keselowski, Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr, William Bryon and Kyle Busch (Garage driver)
Reasons - Like everyone else, I have no idea what to expect. So I am kinda going with the flow here and taking a stab at it. I have a good feeling about the Hendrick cars, so I am putting a few in all of my lineups. If I am wrong, well I am wrong. Kevin Harvick is consistently good, so I see no reason not to take a chance on him. It's very low risk, imo. Like I said up above, I have a really good gut feeling on Truex Jr, so I will also put him in there. Keselowski has a great track record here, so I will give him the nod, as well. Then there's Kyle Busch who didn't overly impress in 4 races, then he's too good to not at least have in the garage.
SlingShot Game -
Martin Truex Jr, Chris Buescher, William Byron, Chrisopher Bell and Kurt Busch
Reasons - I am going after position differential points here with drivers starting further back in the field and that's why none of my pick starts better than 15th. I could see 2 or 3 these guys finishing in the top 10 and the other two finishing in the top 15. With that said, all but one driver has had some form success in recent seasons (or this season) that makes them interesting picks. Not all of them has gotten the results that they deserve, though.
