Sprint Cup Series at Fontana Preview and Fantasy Picks

Zachs-SCS-Preview-Fantasy-PicksHere are my picks for the Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway, on March 22, at 3:30 pm ET on FOX

Contenders

Kurt Busch– Jamie McMurray said it best on twitter in saying,

“The 41 and 4 are in another league right now”.

After a strong showing last week Kurt is on the right track and has been fast all weekend. Look for him and teammate Kevin Harvick to battle it out this weekend. 

Kyle Larson– Larson is a guy who can find speed  by being able to race two grooves and adjust throughout the race. Winning is first Xfinity series race here last year, wouldn’t it be something to see him pull his first Sprint Cup race a year later?

 “We sucked.”

Those were the words Denny Hamlin used to explain his day at Phoenix International Raceway this past weekend where he and his Joe Gibbs Racing teammates struggled immensely. Hamlin went on to say,,,

I’m not going to bore you with the details of numbers, comparing the Hendrick and Gibbs cars over the last two years, but I do want to give my insight into what is the problem. Continue reading

Dale Earnhardt Jr – This team has looked great so far in 2015 and I don’t think that goes away at Phoenix. Jr has shown consistent speed and I feel he will be a big player Sunday.

Carl Edwards – The last man to beat Kevin Harvick at Phoenix? This guy. He hasn’t shown great speed so far in 2015 but he has run well here and can get the job done.

Brad Keselowski –  Has not shown speed similar to Logano, but I like how Paul Wolfe has adjusted to the track throughout the race. I see this team getting better and better every week.  Continue reading
