As for the garage pick, this really could\u2019ve went a few different ways. My choice of Denny Hamlin is based really off of usages I have available for him. Denny in the previous two races at Sonoma has led fifteen laps and averaged a seventh place finish. While he has never made it to victory lane, but if a pile up wreck happens and Denny is running up front. You would be able to throw him in the lineup and possibly salvage some points. <\/p>

Tough Decisions<\/h2>

\nWhile my lineup most likely will not look like yours, most of my\nchoices much like my garage pick are based off usages I have\navailable. With the NASCAR fantasy live only allowing ten uses of\neach driver until the playoff\u2019s start. These next few drivers are\ndrivers that if you have used them smartly are for sure almost locks\nfor a top ten finish. \n<\/p>

The young driver Chase Elliott as mentioned above got his first career win last year at Watkins Glenn a road course. He in the past two races at Sonoma is right up there with the highest average finishers. He has averaged a sixth place finishing position. His Chevrolet team counterpart Kurt Busch is much like Chase when it comes to Sonoma. He averages around a sixth place finish in the previous two races, but this year has arguably been one of the most consistent drivers to be on the track. <\/p>

<\/figure>

Two more drivers you need to watch it seems like every week this year. The first being Brad Keselowski in past two starts he has average an eighth place finish, but is showing a more dominant type of driving style this year competing for a win every week. Your next driver being last year\u2019s winner Martin Truex. Martin has two career wins at Sonoma, while his average finish in the last two is low, that is due to an engine failure two races ago. <\/p>

Conclusion<\/h2>

So, the thing with road courses you either love them or hate them as a fan. Which is most likely the opinion among the drivers too if I had to take a guess. Either way we have two legit road course and then the Roval at Charlotte. Sonoma has been known to give you some surprise winner\u2019s in the past, but can Sonoma give an underdog a shot to get into the playoffs? Or will it be a driver who has already won this year? The only way to find out is to watch or attend the race.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
