Quandary Time

The start of the Neighborhood Excellence 400 presented by Bank of America from Dover International Speedway is about an hour away. I have yet to finalize my Fantasy racing lineup for the week. Tony Stewart, one of my best performers, slapped the wall hard twice at Charlotte last weekend, and has a cracked scapula (hurts me to type that). He will start the race, and turn the driving over to Ricky Rudd during the first caution period. RIcky has done well at Dover; where it will hurt my team is that a lot of positions will be lost during the driver exchange. If there’s an early caution, the impact will be less, but still there.

So, if I trade Tony this week, who do I choose as an alternate? I have no clue. Whoever I’d pick would have a lesser salary, and would free up about $500K in driver funny money. Then, I’d be tempted to trade of one of my lower-cost drivers, put the $500K with that, and get another driver higher on the salary food chain.

OK, so then here goes:

  • I’m leaving my team intact.
  • Hope for an early caution, and a smooth exchange of drivers.
  • With the early caution, Ricky will have the best opportunity to get a decent finish.
  • That’s my story and strategy, and I’m stickin’ with it.

    Thanks to Fantasy Cup for some fine TWAC1 fodder.
