Fantasy Report: Sylvania 300

It is finally here. The Chase for the Cup starts this weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway to crown the next NASCAR champion. Anything is possible but I don’t see the trophy going to anyone other than Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards or Jimmie Johnson. With Busch being strong at almost every track it is going to be hard to take the top spot away from him. Enough with speculation let's look at our picks.

Erik's picks:

Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, Jamie McMurray, Kasey Kahne, Martin Truex Jr., David Reutimann and Scott Riggs.

Brandon's picks:

Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Greg Biffle, David Ragan, Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne, Joey Logano and David Reutimann

Every point counts: It is late in the fantasy season and every point counts. Even a few points from qualifying can move closer to the competitor ahead of you. If you want some possible qualifying points consider putting Ryan Newman on your roster. He has a total of four poles and holds the qualifying record at New Hampshire.

Where they start: I try to stick with the drivers I believe are strongest at a particular track regardless of there starting position. I might look at that differently this week. Fourteen of the last twenty-seven victories have been won from a top ten starting position. If you have a driver that qualifies high it might be wise to stick with them even if they might not be high in the standings.
