2017 Fantasy Nascar Picks (Kansas)

Welcome to TimersSports

Fantasy Nascar Picks -

The smashing and crashing at Talladega is over, we are headed back to somewhat normal settings this weekend at Kansas. I think this is one of the more easier type of tracks to make picks for honestly. And that has a lot to do with how often we are on the intermediate tracks. If you have ran well on this type of track before in 2017, then good chance that will continue this weekend. I am not going to spend a lot of time going into details. But Kansas is about track position and it is difficult to pass usually. Which is why a lot of times, we tend to look at a place such as Las Vegas as a reasonable comparison. You can also take a look at recent data at Kansas from the past few years. But honestly, I think past history is little overrated at this point in the season. Sure, it is not worthless. But personally, I usually put more into similar tracks on current data than past history. May not be a bad idea to put some into both though.

Alright let's roll!

Seasonal stats:

Yahoo Fantasy Racing = 84th Percentile

Fox Auto Racing = 99th Percentile

Fantasy Live = 99th Percentile

Yahoo -

A:

Start - Martin Truex Jr (8)

Bench - Brad Keselowski (8)

Reasons - This decision was much easier than I thought it was going to be. Keselowski qualified outside of the top 15 and Truex is starting in the top 3. The top 10 starters has had a lot of success in the past compared to those outside of the top 10. Truex it is!

B:

Start - Ryan Blaney (6), Chase Elliott (8)

Bench - Kyle Larson (8), Clint Bowyer (7)


Reasons -Blaney got me 10 bonus points for winning the pole, so I am going to double dip and hope he can lead me some laps on Saturday. Either way, I think he is a great pick this weekend. Besides, no way am I benching the pole sitter. So who to pair him with? I was planning to keep on start-saving and using the 14. But Bowyer is starting in the back. So that's no good. Larson or Elliott? I don't really know and still undecided honestly. But I am leaning Elliott for now, I might change my mind though.

C:

Start - Daniel Suarez (8)

Bench - Erik Jones (7)

Reasons -I was planning to use Jones again this week, but he is starting the back so that plan is trash. Could I still use him? Sure, but it would be unwise as track position is huge. Also, I don't want to risk something happen coming through the field. So I will roll with Suarez and hope for a top 20.

Fantasy Live -78,18,95,43,48

Sleeper - Ricky Stenhouse Jr

Winner -Kyle Busch

Even though at times, it did feel like Elliott has taken a step back in his second year at the cup level. I also felt like (throughout the year) that Elliott didn't truly take off until we got into the Nascar playoffs. The driver of the No.24 car was a force to be reckon with and a common name in drama down the stench. In those...

The Music < Tarp Family: Folk Fest 2014 Wrap Up

It's taken me a long time to write this post because mostly I couldn't think of how to fill out my top 5 for the Edmonton Folk Fest 2014 . This was not a stellar year on the hill for music for me. I've previously acknowledged that I've pigeon holed myself so much musically that I enjoy less and less these days. And this year, I'm a bit burnt out and didn't really want to deal with the early mornings and the lines. I was only going to go for one day to see Michael Franti, but ended up being talked into getting a weekend pass. And it was a good thing I went for the whole festival. View of the city is always stunning from the hill. Here's my Folk Fest 2014 top 5: 1. My Tarp Family - Even though the music was not awesome for me this year, my tarp family sure was. This is the second (or third, we can't remember) year I've hung out at the top of the hill with my (relatively new) usual music crew. And over the years I've really come to love spending tim...
