Fantasy Report: Pocono 500

NASCAR makes its move from FOX to TNT this week for live coverage at Pocono.

Some of the race commentators for this stretch on TNT (before coverage moves again to ESPN) will be Bill Weber, Matt Yocum, Wally Hallenbach, Kyle Petty and Larry McReynolds. (Sorry no Boogity, boogity, boogity boys!) This should be a nice change to keep the season interesting.

Enough about coverage lets get to the picks:

Erik’s picks:

Denny Hamlin✔, Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman✔, Martin Truex Jr.✔, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Mark Martin, Travis Kvapil✔ and Scott Riggs.

Brandon’s picks:

Denny Hamlin✔, Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, Mark Martin✔, Kyle Busch✔, Juan Pablo Montoya, Travis Kvapil✔ and David Reutimann.

HINT: Take a look at having a few Joe Gibbs drivers in this week (especially Denny Hamlin). JGR cars have had some great finishes at Pocono in the past. Kyle Busch has been hot lately and might also give you some extra qualifying points.

KEEP IN MIND: Don’t overuse a driver. Remember you only get to select them a certain number of times. Just remember to be patient and save some strong drivers for the end of the season. If you have a bad week or two don’t worry. I have had 4 bad weeks out of 5 and still remain in the top ten overall.

I should have heeded Erik's advice about saving good drivers because my decision to use Kyle Busch this weekend could really come back to bite me (I dropped 3 spots to 6th place). Erik has slid in right behind me as well. This thing should start heating up!
