2017 Fantasy Nascar Picks (Kansas)

Welcome to TimersSports

It been a while since, I had to sit down and write up my weekly picks. With everything that has happened over the past month or so. But I am happy to be back at it and looking forward to another exciting weekend of racing, as well. I cannot say that I love Kansas (the racetrack itself), but I think it will have a lot of drama involved in it. Considering it is a eliminating race and so much is on the line. For whatever reason, I have a feeling a big time player (above the advancement cut-off) will have issues on Sunday that let a guy like Kyle Busch or Matt Kenseth sneak back in. I could be totally wrong, but I am just expecting that sort of race.

Let's get into the picks!

Yahoo -

A:

Start - Martin Truex Jr

Bench - Kevin Harvick

Reasons -It is tough to bench either driver really, but I am going with the driver who has won the most this season and the driver starting on the pole. Truex Jr dominanted Kansas back in 2016, when he started on the pole. I don't think it will be quite as bad this time, but he should lead a lot of laps in the race.

B:

Start - Kyle Larson, Jamie Mac

Bench - Ryan Blaney and Kurt Busch

Reasons -It is a tough week to make decisions in the B-list, but Blaney starting in the rear did make it a little easier. Larson looks like the driver to beat in final practice and JMac look like a top 10 driver, too. This season, I would say both drivers been among the most consistent drivers in the series.

Blaney is a great option, if you want to go with him. There's obviously some risk, but the payoff would be huge. Chase Elliott should be top 10 good. Bowyer is a great off-sequence pick, too. He looked really good in final practice.

C:

Start - Erik Jones

Bench - Ty Dillon 

Reasons -I really wanted to use Dillon here, but that will not happen. Jones is top 10 good and I am going to cash in and hope for the best. For me to start Dillon, I need to know that he can finish between 15th and 20th. I don't know if he can and I don't know if Jones will fade enough to help. I have to go with Jones. There will be other chances to save in the next couple weeks.

Winner - Martin Truex Jr

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...
