Fantasy Followup: Richmond

Hmm. Well, I’m still dealing with some mixed emotions regarding my fantasy picks for Richmond. On one hand, with twenty laps left in the race, Denny Hamlin looked dead set on making me look like a genius and giving me my fourth correctly predicted race winner of the young season … and, then he had a tire go down. On the other hand, I didn’t see a single source out there forecasting a win from Clint Bowyer, and I at least had him in my top-six.
