Fantasy Report: Camping World RV 400

NASCAR makes its third stop of the Chase for the Cup this week at Kansas Speedway. This week could define Kyle Busch's chances for a rebound to the top or if he'll be 'dust in the wind.' I could also be in the dust if I continue to have bad runs week after week. Lets hope this time around I will rebound on my fantasy position. Lets take a look at our picks for the week.

Erik's picks:

Jeff Gordon✔, Clint Bowyer, Ryan Newman✔, Jamie McMurray✔, Kasey Kahne, Martin Truex Jr., Travis Kvapil✔ and Scott Riggs.

Brandon's picks:

Carl Edwards✔, Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle✔, Mark Martin✔, Martin Truex Jr., David Ragan, David Reutimann✔ and Joey Logano.

HENDRICK TRACK: If you still have them as active drivers Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson might not be a bad move. Johnson has held the pole position twice at Kansas. Gordon has two wins in his career at this young track. The first Sprint Cup race was ran here in 2001.

BOWYER: Clint Bowyer is on my roster this week for one reason: his stats at Kansas Speedway. Although, he only has two starts at the track he has an average start of 8th and an average finish of 5th. That seems like pretty good odds and I need a gamble to try to move myself up in the fantasy standings.

NOT IN THE CHASE: If history repeats itself, look to move some drivers on your roster that are not in the Chase this year. Since NASCAR has started running Chase races at Kansas (four of them to be exact) three of the winners were not competing for the Cup.

That's it for this week … Good luck!
