Welcome to Timerssports
Happy Forth of July, friends! I hope everyone is having a great weekend and enjoying your holiday. But business as usual for us at Timerssports. I just want to say thank you to everyone whom checks out our website on a weekly basis. A lot of times, I don't even have to post a link and people have already checked out our most recent content. As you can imagine, it always put a big smile on my face. Not because I don't have to post a link to get pageview clicks, but because our content makes a big enough impact that people know the website's address! Again, thank you!
Anyways folks, I avoided a bad score on Saturday by taking Erik Jones out in the first Pocono's race. However, I couldn't avoid the bad Chrisopher Bell pick on Sunday's evening. Still ended up with 289 points' day, after my other three picks all scored in the top 7. Sadly that 289 points drags my season's average down slightly (not much). Now, we will turn our attention to Indianapolis Motor Speedway! Usually teams will bring their best stuff to this racetrack and former champions have a knack for winning here. Also, the winner are the ones that typically start up front. In fact 6 of the last 8 winner has started in the top 8. Of course, this year the starting order was set by random draw. So I wouldn't put that much into that stat as usual.
DGG Picks -
A:
Starter - Kyle Busch
Bench - Martin Truex Jr
Reasons - Almost everyone will be on the Kevin Harvick/Denny Hamlin bandwagon this weekend at Indy. For good reason, but don't forget about Kyle Busch or Martin Truex Jr. Both will be rostered at a much lower % and both should offer value because of that. Realistically, I bet they finish within 3 positions. And that's being nice about it. Right now over, both drivers (Harvick and Hamlin) are around 50% picked in DGG. Kyle Busch is about 30% and Truex Jr is about 15%. Point is? Don't take much for one mistake and boom you are in the driver seat.
As of right now, I have Kyle Busch as my starter. However, it's 50/50 on which JGR driver get the call for my lineup on Sunday's afternoon!
B:
Starters - Aric Almirola and William Byron
Bench - Erik Jones and Clint Bowyer
Reasons - I really put a lot of thoughts into my picks for this grouping tier. I took a lot of factors into consideration, too. I thought about using Clint Bowyer, but I decided I rather use him at some of the shorter tracks later in the season. I also considered Matt D, but I decided I could get a few starts out of him at places like Bristol and Martinsville. And with 1.5 mile tracks being the next three tracks, I am also gonna save Erik Jones, Kurt Busch and Ryan Blaney. So what worked for me last weekend? Well Aric Almirola and William Byron delivered some solid finishes for my lineup. Why not use them again? Especially if I don't really plan to use them for several races.
C:
Starter - Matt Kenseth
Bench - Tyler Reddick
Reasons - I really don't have a good reason for starting Matt Kenseth, other than that I have less starts left with Reddick & Bell. Otherwise, I would start one of them than Kenseth. He still worries me, but we will have to use him sometimes anyways!
Dark Horse - Aric Almirola
Winner - Kevin Harvick
