Welcome to Timerssports
Last week, it wasn't pretty and I kinda got lucky with my picks. Kurt Busch blew up and I forgot to change my C-list drivers around. So I ended up starting Chrishopher Bell instead of Tyler Reddick. Bell finished in the top 10, while Reddick hit the wall and finish outside of the top 20. That is just stupid good luck and I needed it. Still, I need things to go better this week, so I am in good shpae for another 10,000 points season. As it stands (in the Driver Group Game league), I am on pace 10,107 points. I am not super comfortable with that number with Martinsville and Phoenix both left on the schedule. But if you gonna knock a 300 out of the park, you may as well try it at a place like Texas. We all know who will strong this weekend, it about getting the finishes out of those picks!
DGG Picks -
A:
Starter - Martin Truex Jr
Bench - Denny Hamlin
Reasons - Last week, I used my last Harvick (or I would had used him here without question) and I got a 2nd place finish with the most laps led. So I basically got the most points out of him, without winning. So this week, I am going with Martin Truex Jr. I am not sure where he would be better at here or Martinsville, but then again I feel good about someone like Hamlin at Martinsville. So I am gonna use Truex Jr on a track that he is very capable of winning on and Texas fits the bill, in my opnion!
B:
Starters - Kurt Busch and Erik Jones
Bench - Ryan Blaney and Alex Bowman
Reasons - I orginally was planning to go with Kurt Busch and Ryan Blaney, but I got to thinking that Jones has a great record here at Texas. And Blaney has good records at both Martinsville and Phoenix. With two starts left, why not save Blaney this weekend. Then I can plug Bowyer in at Martinsville and plug my final Kurt start in at Phoenix. I think it makes plenty of sense. But I do believe that Blaney has very slightly higher upside than Erik Jones, though.
C:
Starter - Tyler Reddick
Bench - Chrisopher Bell
Reasons - I got lucky last weekend that I fogot to put Reddick as my starter and it worked out pretty well. But I am plan on using him this weekend as my starter, though. Even though Bell is coming on very strong and should only finish a few spots behind his fellow rookie driver!
Dark Horse - Ryan Blaney
Winner - Kevin Harvick
