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
