Fantasy Nascar Picks

Welcome to Timerssports

Bristol Recap: Things got crazy at Bristol. As I expected , so I made a late change in Yahoo. Which was huge for me. As I took out Hamlin and put in JMac. JMac led the most laps and finished 8th. Hamlin finished 40th with lap led bonus points. As an 333 w/ Kenseth , Menard , JMac and Burton launched me into top 1000 overall for the season.  On the other hand , Fantasy Live was a but bumpy. But still wasn't bad.

Look ahead to Atlanta: Atlanta is personally my favorite track in Nascar. One of the reasons I moved to Atlanta. Anyhow this is where the best start -saver players (in Yahoo) will get rewarded big time. Atlanta tend to reward the fastest cars. I absolutely love it. This type track really makes selecting drivers simple. Most of us have a good idea who will be fast. Going totally off-sequence is a huge mistake. I see no reason to lose gain to the competition. I rather draw even then erase my championships hopes. Next week is where you would want to play the extra card up your sleeve. Don't look for me to get fancy. I want big time names , with a few potential sleepers as well.

Yahoo-

A:

Start: Kevin Harvick (3)

Bench: Jeff Gordon (3)

Reason: Harvick starts from the pole and he is stupid fast. I see no reason to bench him. Gordon starts 9th , and should be top 5 no doubt fast. Just don't think he have an max points day.

B:

Start: Ryan Newman (2) , Paul Menard (5)

Bench: Brad Keselowski (4) , Joey Logano (5)

Reason: I been committed to start -save in the summer segment. And I have found success. One of the reasons , I am starting Menard/Newman. Also I feel like Menard is undervalued with an 33rd starting position. He should be find. Penske been good , but not max points good. My rule is: Use the studs if they are 100 points potential. If not roll the start savers.

C:

Start: Kyle Larson (3)

Bench: Ty Dillon (9)

Reason: I rolled Larson at Michigan few weeks ago. Didn't get what I wanted. Time to try it again. Larson been good all weekend. My hand was forced really. I am feeling pretty good with two starts left after today. I feel like I can find 4 starts from Danica , Bayne , and other in the final 10 races. Ty Dillon wasn't impressive enough to me. Only 2% picked him , something I couldn't risk.

Fantasy Live - Harvick , Logano , Gordon , Cassill and Mears
