First off everyone have a safe weekend and please don’t drink and drive.
A drivers ranks- 48, 11, 24, 2, 42, 18, 14, 5, 16, 99. Wanted to rank 16 higher but he starts shotgun on the field. 11 was strongest in final practice but i’d bet on the 48 when the track gets cool. As far as paythefan goes i like the 9 and 42 in the A list. 11 and 2 should be good too but i like the sleeper route for this race.
B list ranks- 31, 9, 56, 20, 17, 29, 33, 00, 39, 1, 6. 00 would be higher if he could finish races consistently. Ragan good C list pick for paythefan. I like the 31 and 56 in paythe fan for B list. Also like 20.
C list ranks- 43, 98, 83, 78, 82, 21, 77. Elliot never showed anything all weekend. 83 struggled but like his patience here. 98 would be the pick over AJ if he had track position. 78 would be ranked over Mears if i trusted the durability of his race car. 82 could suprise as he usually finishes races and stays out of trouble. With this being a 600 mile race Sam may set a record for times in the fence.
My pick to win the Coca-Cola 600 is Jeff Burton, not going with Mr. Obvious here.
Sleeper picks are Truex Jr. and Kahne. Dont’ count out Logano either.
My team will more than likely be 48, 9, 31, 43 over 18, 17, 20, 98. If any changes are made it will be with the 20 for the 31 as i would like to save a start with Burton.
That’s all for this weekend gang and as always Good luck FNPers!!!
