Welcome to Timerssports
For the second weekend in a row, I made a last minute decision with my DGG lineup that pay off in a big way. At Pocono's first race, I had Erik Jones in but switched him out for William Byron. Byron finished about 14th and Erik Jones wrecked out. Then at Indy (last weekend), I had Martin Truex Jr and William Byron in my lineup. At the last minute, I decided to go back with Kyle Busch (over Truex) and to put Matt DiBenedetto in over William Byron. Those decisions resulted in over a 100 points gain in points. Of course, I would had a ungodly score if the #21 car didn't wreck on the final lap. Oh well, it still has been excellent start to the season! Through 16 races on the year, I am averaging about 294 points per race. That pace will be tough to keep up, but I am excited about the chance to bulid on that this weekend at Kentucky. These 1.5 mile tracks are typically the best chance to knock out big-time scores. We have 3 straight races on this type of track, starting this weekend at Kentucky!
DGG Picks -
A:
Starter - Chase Elliott
Bench - Kyle Busch
Reasons - There's a lot of great picks for this weekend, but I am going with a driver who has led in every race on the 1.5 mile tracks in 2020. His name? Chase Elliott. He also finished 2nd in the most recent 1.5 mile track, too. Kyle Busch is obviously one of the heavy favorites based on his record. And Truex Jr has won 2 of the last 3 races here, so you have consider him. But Elliott has the best average finish on the this type of track in 2020 in this tier of drivers. He also is only selected by 15% of players. Much like last weekend in this grouping tier, I am looking where others aren't
B:
Starters - Aric Almirola and Alex Bowman
Bench - Kurt Busch and Erik Jones
Reasons - I might go back on this and put Kurt Busch in for Alex Bowman, but I am okay with gambling in B. It is obviously risky, if it backfires on me. Truthfully, I don't need to gamble like this. But I am gonna give it a try anyways. Aric Almirola is too hot to bench right now and over 50% of players has picked him. If he has a bad race? Most other players will too, so I see very little downside to using him. I originally had Kurt Busch as my second starter, but I started to think about Alex Bowman. His finishes on 1.5 mile tracks aren't great, but he has been a contender. Running top 5 at Vegas, he wrecked. Running top 5 at both Charlotte races, he found problems. Ran top 10 for good portion of the Homestead race, he finished 18th. At Atlanta, he was a top 12 driver most of the day and spent some time in the top 10. I think the Bowman pick will work out pretty good, especially if a few big names have some issues
C:
Starter - Chrisopher Bell
Bench - Matt Kenseth
Reasons - I know most will go with Reddick and rightfully so, but I am hoping to save a few starts for later in the season. So I am going with the Bell/Kenseth combo. Hard to say which driver is the better option right now, but I am going with the one who I have more starts left with.
Dark Horse - Aric Almirola
Winner - Kevin Harvick
