A Monster Energy Nascar Challenge

[Seminole Red]

Top 5

No. 48 Jimmie Johnson:  Johnson has eight career wins at Martinsville.  The No. 48 team could be headed back to Victory Lane to claim yet another grandfather clock.
No. 18 Kyle Busch:  Kyle Busch led 352 laps at M’ville earlier this year.  He is an obvious top pick again this weekend.
No. 11 Denny Hamlin:  Hamlin won at M’ville las spring and has been great on flat-tracks during his career.  He should have the No. 11 inside the top five when the checkers fly.
No. 22 Joey Logano:  Logano dominated last year’s fall race at M’ville before he was booted into the wall by an angry Matt Kenseth.  He is worth using in all leagues again this weekend.
No. 4 Kevin Harvick:  Harvick notched a top 10 finish at Martinsville in both races last year.  He should be in the mix for the win.
 
 
6 to 10
 
No. 41 Kurt Busch:  Kurt Busch won the spring 2014 race at Martinsville.  He is a great choice this weekend.
No. 78 Martin Truex Jr.:  Truex Jr. ran well at Martinsville last year.  He is a nice second driver in all leagues this weekend.
No. 2 Brad Keselowski:  Keselowski finished fifth at M’ville this spring.  We like his chances this trip to Virginia.
No. 88 Jeff Gordon:  Gordon has nine career wins at Martinsville.  Use him in all leagues.
No. 19 Carl Edwards:  Edwards has cracked the top 10 in just six of the last 16 races at Martinsville.  There are better choices for your fantasy team this weekend.
 
 
11 to 20
 
No. 3 Austin Dillon:  Dillon ran terrific at Martinsville earlier this season.  He is worth using in all leagues.
No. 20 Matt Kenseth:  Kenseth had just three top five finishes in 30 Cup starts at Martinsville prior to his third place finish last spring.  He is just a good choice this weekend.
No. 14 Tony Stewart:  “Smoke” is usually very fast at M’ville.  He is a nice pick this weekend.
No. 31 Ryan Newman:  Newman won the 2012 spring race at M’ville and has qualified inside the top 10 in 20 of his 28 Cup starts at the track.  He should be near the front all day.
No. 42 Kyle Larson:  Larson finished third at M’ville earlier this year.  He is someone to use in all leagues.
No. 24 Chase Elliott: Elliott has struggled in his first couple Cup starts at M’ville.  There are better choices this weekend.
No. 1 Jamie McMurray:  McMurray has finished in the top 10 in 15 of his 27 career Martinsville starts (including a second place finish last fall).  This is a nice weekend to use the No. 1 car.
No. 47 A.J. Allmendinger:  Allmendinger took second at M’ville earlier this year.  He is a nice sleeper pick.
No. 5 Kasey Kahne:  Kahne has led just 59 laps in 24 career starts at Martinsville.  He is just a third driver this weekend.
No. 13 Casey Mears:  Mears was terrific at M’ville last year.  We like him as a sleeper pick.
