Track position is vital here but so is fuel strategy so i’ll just rank them based on strength of car and start position.
A list- 48, 24, 11, 14, 42, 2, 16, 18, 99, 5.
Kyle was faster than Stewart but Stewart was trying different setups. Kyle Busch also slid off course twice in practice. Gordon seemed to get his issue fixed and would expect a top 10 run. Wasn’t real impressed with Montoya or Kurt Busch. My Yahoo choice is 14 over 18 for now. Paythefan use Vickers and Montoya. Yes Vickers, gotta burn him somewhere.
B list- 47, 29, 31, 9, 56, 1, 33, 39, 19, 17, 20, 88.
Really like Ambrose and Harvick for this race. Burton is fast but i’d save him as too much can happen here. Truex and McMurray are your start saver picks. I also like Sadler in the paythefan format. My b list will be Ambrose and Harvick. In Paythefan give me Ambrose and McMurray. Do not use Kenseth here for whatever reason. Bowyer starts deep in the pack but should be good for a top 15, which means i wouldn’t use him here.
C list- 43, 09, 98, 82, 26, 13, 7, 83, 38, 12, 78, 77.
Hornish had all sorts of problems in practice, avoid at all cost unless your league scores times off the track. I really like the 09 too bad he isn’t on my Yahoo team. Was not impressed with Robby at all. I’d probably start 09 and 82 over AJ to save starts. I’m leaning AJ over Papis on my Yahoo team. Still considering Max though as he wasn’t too bad. In Paythefan give me 09 and 82. Said is also a good sleeper pick. Could do worse than Papis too.
My pick to win is Marcos Ambrose
My B list sleeper picks are Truex Jr. and McMurray. Sadler deep sleeper
Best of luck FNPers!!!
