Fantasy Report: Lenox Industrial Tools 301

After spending the week road racing in sunny California, the teams head to New England this weekend for the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H. This is the first of two Sprint Cup races at the 1.058-mile oval superspeedway. If you're like me and had a terrible fantasy day at Sonoma then this could be the place to turn it around.

Brandon's picks:

Matt Kenseth✔, Jimmie Johnson, Greg Biffle, Kasey Kahne✔, Ryan Newman, Martin Truex Jr.✔, Travis Kvapil✔ and Aric Almirola.

Erik's picks:

Jeff Gordon✔, Tony Stewart, Martin Truex Jr.✔, Casey Mears✔, Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardth Jr., Paul Menard✔ and Travis Kvapil.

Fantasy Hints: I'm going to throw some love toward Rousch Fenway Racing this week. These teams have been strong all year long and the #17 of Matt Kenseth has been on fire as of late. Look for him to have a good showing this weekend. I expect Martin Truex Jr. to have an exceptional race — one that will mirror his performance at this track last year (2 top 5 finishes). I'm also going to mention Aric Almirola. He handled his ride pretty well at the beginning of the season and if he's been studying the driver he shares the car with, Mark Martin, then we could see big things out of him.

Have you, the reader, been having a good year with your fantasy team? How would you rate our picks so far this year? We would love to hear from you!

Two terrible weeks in a row is not the way to win at Fantasy. However, keeping consistent will take you to the top. I'm about 150 points out of first now in 7th place and our good friend Erik is in 2nd spot only about 40 points out of first. Congrats Erik, just one more pass to make and you get the best seat in the house.
