The second week of this fantasy league was better for me, I jumped up into the top five. However, for all of us at the racing team, it was a horrible week because Mike took over first place in this league for the week. As the weeks go on the trash talks ramps up more and more. So, while I know you are all here for the picks, let’s get to that point. Here is the Belly Up Racing NASCAR Fantasy Live Picks for week 3!

To switch it up a bit this week. I want to kind of basically go over these picks. Each of us obviously has something in common. We all feel like Toyota is going to be the winning manufacturer, accept Darrell. I must mention though I am happy to include his picks for the first time in my articles this year. However, Trey has Jimmie Johnson breaking his winless streak. I’m not quite sure how that works out? It might be a bold strategy choice to secure a solid five points. However, if you look there are a lot of similarities. So, it might be an even tighter race for the lead after this week. As you can tell we have a close battle by the picture below of the current league standings headed into week three.
So, it is now Saturday and after begging for picks to be in by Friday. I finally got everyone’s accept one: once again Brandon decided to not share his with me before the article. I mean I guess he is a busy man with his podcast and ERSCA league participation. He couldn’t provide ten simple picks before I type this up, oh well better luck next week sir!
Trash Talk
I would go as far as saying as this bunch of misfits, and degenerates seem to step up their trash talk each week, especially for week three. We have even gone as far as trash-talking on Sunday before the week two race was even run! Then it only proceeded to go up and I mean way up. We have even taken it up to the level of videos trash talking. So none the fewer let’s get on with filling you guys in on the weekly trash talk for the week.
We shall start off with the man who didn’t get his picks in until race day. Who decided to claim he would be first after this past Sunday’s race at Las Vegas. It did seem to grab some attention though I must say.
You then have the resident snake of the group pointing out all of the racing group’s flaws, with a “jabroni” like Mike leading us after two weeks.
Which then obviously struck a nerve among the racing members, because Trey just had to point out it was a long season. To which Rattlesnake obviously didn’t turn on his hearing aid for, because he couldn’t hear Trey from his third-place position. Then our other co-founder Blaine just affirmed his last place position in the league and his silence among us trash talking animals. Which the trash talking was wound up a bit tighter after a very horrible video was posted Thursday to start our day as you can watch for yourself below.
You know then we slacked off for a few days due to the awesome ERSCA racing series. Then you know a department head posted trying to get some picks from this bunch of misfits for solid content and get push back. In the means of a very inappropriate finger emoji from the “Belly Up NASCAR King.”
His response then sparked another ongoing dispute among the “High-Class White Trash from Southern Ohio” and Rattlesnake over who was better as seen below.
Conclusion of Week 3
Week three is another mile and half cookie cutter type of track. However the surface is much like Las Vegas it’s old and worn slap out. So tires will be needed a lot this week. I think over all this group of whatever you want to call us has made a bunch of solid choice for this weeks race. Well, maybe besides Treys choice of Jimmie to win the race, but I mean if he wins then someone looks like a genius for picking him. However you couldn’t go wrong with anyone one of these lineups in my opinion if you are needing some last second fantasy lineup assistance.
What you need to do now though is this after getting in your good laugh for the weekend. Head over to the new Belly Up Fantasy site and look for my more serious article covering this week’s driver choices. Where I try to discuss draft king numbers as well as your Vegas betting odds to help you make the best choice.
