| | | | | | | | | | Fantasy picks for the Subway 500 at Martinsville.
Roger: Jeff Gordon is ridiculously good at NASCAR’s oldest track, with two victories and an average finish of 2.2 over the past five Martinsville races. He’s on his game, he’s hungry and he’ll win.
Sleeper: Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Not so fast: Jeff Burton.
Vinnie: I’m going to answer with Jimmie Johnson, Gordon’s equally mighty Hendrick teammate and the defending Cup champion. Johnson has won the past two races at Martinsville.
Sleeper: Jamie McMurray.
Not so fast: Matt Kenseth.
Last week: Roger stretched his lead over Vinnie to 136 points with five races to go when Carl Edwards finished fifth and Johnson finished 14th.
Standings through 31 races: Roger: 4,264; Vinnie: 4,128. | | | Permalink | Comments (0) | | | | | | | | | | |
