Jim, I’m glad you enjoyed the preview. As I continue to trim down on some of the posting on here and go to a “quality over quantity” mindset, I plan to continue producing my race previews & fantasy picks in this format going forward.

Thanks for the thorough preview. The only thing I could remember about this race last year was that Hamlin and Stewart wrecked while Stewart was in the lead.
I guess that’s part of the problem with having a favorite driver–selective memory.

Yeah, should be pretty good, I think … of course, I put Kurt Busch in my lineup before I knew he’d be driving a backup car.

Mike, we see it pretty much everytime the series heads to Daytona or Talladega that there’s a handful of cars in the field that run strong, but just can’t get the finishes for whatever reason, and that’s usually what happens to Hamlin.

He’s probably not the worst guy to have on your roster this weekend, but I wouldn’t take him over a Dale Jr. or Tony Stewart.

The thing about Hamlin, is that he doesn’t always make the right moves. A driver can have one of the best cars and still not win the race. It happens, and when you feel like you were the winner, or at least could have been, someone else is celebrating in victory lane.

I wouldn’t be too quick to drop Hamlin. He was very good last summer until his teammate wrecked him. Then this year he had a pit road mishap at the Daytona 500. He had a car that could have won the race up to that point.
