Before I say whom I have picked this week, I would like to
say that if Kyle Petty performed as well I
thought
he would have my fantasy draft would have been okay. Instead, at the
end of the day, he made my active driver picks poor and I hope that never happens
again this year.
My sleeper picks did well though.
My A list active driver pick for the Food City 500
Kurt Busch: The long trend data
say that he is hot driver at this race track with five wins. In the last
six races he has one win and three total top ten finishes at this track.
He is 10th place in the points and I think he move up even higher in
the points.
My B list active driver picks for the Food City 500
Dale
Earnhardt Jr.: DEJ makes it on my active driver list for the
second time this season. Over the past six races he has the best average
finish with a 6.5 average and that is why I think you should put him in your
fantasy team. With an even better team this year he has an even better shot
to win this race for the second time ever.
Ryan Newman: Newman has three top ten finishes in the past six
races at this track. This year he is fourth in the points with two top
tens. I do feel that he can continue his hot start to the season.
My C list active driver pick for the Food City 500
Brian
Vickers:
Vickers makes it on my active driver list for the second time this
season. He has three top twenty finishes at this track and I think he can
continue his hot start to the season. He does have three top 20 finishes at this
track.
My sleeper picks for the Food City 500
Bobby
Labonte: In the last six races, Labonte does have two
top ten finishes and his start to the season has been great for the Petty
Enterprise team as well. He is 14th in the points which is
great for this lower end team.
Reed
Sorenson: A bit of a gamble with this
pick. Sorenson only has four starts at this track with a best finish of
15th, but I think he can get another top 15 finish this weekend.
Kasey
Kahne:
He did not do great last week, but I think he has a good shot at doing
well this week. He does have two top ten finishes at this track in the
past six races, along with a solid 16.5 average finish.
