Yahoo! Fantasy NASCAR: Talladega Superspeedway
Taking a look at this weekend’s race at Talladega Superspeedway, there’s a lot of good story lines happening this week.
Is this the week that Dale Earnhardt Jr. rolls into victory lane? Was the weeks worth of “are you leaving JGR to start your own team?” enough of a distraction that Tony Stewart won’t find his way into victory lane? Jeff Gordon is looking for his third straight Talladega win, but has an average finish of 18.9 in the first eight races this season.
My early picks for this weekend,
Group A
- Jeff Gordon
- Tony Stewart
- Jimmie Johnson
Group B
- Dale Earnhardt Jr.
- Kyle Busch
- David Gilliand
- Bobby Labonte
Group C
- Travis Kvapil
- Brian Vickers
- Sam Hornish Jr.
Here’s a look at the user picks from earlier today at Yahoo! racing.
