NASCAR LENOX Industrial Tools 301 Expert Picks

Okay, so I submitted my picks to the editor on a Tuesday and somehow the Yahoo Fantasy Experts for the Sonoma race had picks very, very similar to mine.  Odd ...

Well, I wound up for the weekend with four picks in the top ten, but every single one of the road course ringers did very poorly and certainly were used big time and I guess in well over half of all fantasy drafts during the weekend.

A list active driver:

Matt Kenseth - This is the second time on this list for Kenseth.  This driver has the second best finishing average at this track.  He has also made a massive move in the points over the past few weeks in order to get him back into the chase.

B list active drivers:

David Gilliland - This is the first time on this list for Gilliland.  He has the worst average finish out of the whole group of qualifying drivers with a start in the past six races, but his 2008 season has been great and he had a surprising second place finish at Sonoma.  I think his Sonoma momentum will carry over to New Hampshire.

Kyle Busch - Busch makes his third appearance on this list.  This driver is dangerous at every single track this year for a win and is the leader in Sprint Cup points.  He has one win at this track along with two other top five finishes at this track in the past six races.

C list active driver:

Travis Kvapil - This is the fourth time on this list for Kvapil.  I am going with both Yates drivers this week.  Just like David he has a crappy finishing average, but both Yates drivers have been spectacular this year.

Sleeper picks:

Denny Hamlin - Hamlin is great at doing both qualifying and getting a great finish at this track.  He has not been super solid in the Sprint Cup as of late, but I think he can pull in a top finish this weekend.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. - I like this driver at this track.  He has five finishes that were no worse than sixteenth. Hendrick power is going to give this hot driver another super solid finish this season. 

Brian Vickers - Although the C list drivers get very little love, Vickers has the best finishing average at this track.  His 2008 season has been great so far and should easily continue his success at this track.
