What an odd weekend for NASCAR. Giants Jerseys Sale . It was fun, but maybe not for your fantasy team.The top two points earners Monday at Pocono, Chris Buescher and Regan Smith, cost just $5,400 and $5,500, respectively. Weather really shook up the lineup and made for a fun race, as drivers were fighting to be up front at any point, not knowing when the rain (or fog in this case) would roll in and end the race immediately.My top pick for the weekend started as Matt Kenseth, but after practices and qualifying morphed into fellow Toyota driver Martin Truex Jr. He looked strong early on, but after falling back to third due to pit strategy, he cut a tire and hit the wall. He only lost one lap -- until he cut another tire and hit the wall.Joey Logano, not on my pick list, then looked like the class of the field, but he wrecked racing for position with Chase Elliott.Lets move on to this weeks race at Watkins Glen. Its a road course located in my homeland of Upstate New York. Its the second of two such races this season, and even though the courses reward different techniques (Watkins Glen favors more aggressive driving, Sonoma is more about smoothness), you can usually tie in performance at each because of how different these tracks are compared to traditional oval speedway racing.Drivers tend to lead laps in chunks at Watkins Glen, but because the smaller number of laps run at the road courses, laps led and fastest laps are minimized. So concentrate much more on your start-finish differential and finishing position this week.Keep an especially close eye on track performance. Car strength is not as important here as at a track where speed and horsepower is key. Handling is important, but certain drivers just excel more at the road courses than others.Here are my picks to get you started this week. But check back after qualifying for my final picks and fades.Im starting my team withCarl Edwards isnt the first name you think of with road course specialists, but he led 24 laps at Sonoma earlier this year, second-best in the field, and had a leading 15 fastest laps, finishing fourth after starting from the pole.Now were coming to a track where hes never finished worse than 19th, and that was in his first race at the track. Since then hes had nine-straight top-15 finishes and has been eighth or better in each of the past three. Going back to 2009, only Marcos Ambrose averages more fantasy points per race than Edwards, and Ambrose wont be in the field this weekend.Keep an eye on these fourKevin Harvick: Another driver youd consider having on your roster week-to-week, but dont ignore him on the road course. Harvick has finished seventh or better in the past four road course events, and actually hasnt finished one outside the top 20 since 2009. In the 13 road course events since then, hes only once been held under 30 points.Tony Stewart: I make this pick hoping Stewart is returning to the form that saw him finish in the top two seven times in an eight-race span at Watkins Glen from 2002 to 2009, with five wins. Since then, hes struggled, not running the race in 2013 or 2014. Last year, he had a mechanical failure and finished 43rd. This season, though, Stewart has four top-five and six top-10 finishes in 13 races. From 2014 to 2015, he had three top-five and 10 top-10 finishes in 69 races.AJ Allmendinger: The Dinger is a good example of a driver who tends to excel at one road course but not the other. Last year he led 21 laps at Watkins Glen but finished 24th. The year before that, he won here. Hes finished 37th in the past two Sonoma races. For his career, he averages 38.0 fantasy points per race at Watkins Glen, and 18.3 at Sonoma.Casey Mears: Make sure youre on a cheap option like Mears if he qualifies deep in the field. In the past eight Watkins Glen races, Mears has finished in the top-20 eight times, but in seven of those, he moved up from his starting position. Hes averaging a gain of 7.6 spots from his starting position in those races, giving him 35.5 points per race.Thats all I have for you this week. Since were traveling to my neck of the woods, make sure you get yourself some spiedies this weekend. Look it up, and thank me later. Giants Jerseys Online . The 27-year-old Scrivens will be joining his third NHL club since signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent in 2010. The move also reunites with him with head coach Dallas Eakins from their time together with the American Hockey Leagues Toronto Marlies. Wholesale Giants Jerseys . But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. http://www.cheapnewyorkgiantsjerseys.com/saquon-barkley-jersey/ . Wilson hit Schenn from behind during Tuesday nights game in Philadelphia, earning a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct. He has a phone hearing with the department of player safety, which limits any potential suspension to five or fewer games. ATLANTA -- Give Rory McIlroy credit for having a good sense of humor.The four-time major winner is the only European Ryder Cup team member in the Tour Championship field and spent a good part of the first two days struggling to find his form.That changed with a 66 on Saturday that got him into a share of third place, giving him a shot not just at the Tour Championship, but the FedEx Cup title as well.Inevitably, next weeks Ryder Cup came up, and McIlroy was asked about the comments of U.S. captain Davis Love III, who in a radio interview this week said the U.S. might have assembled the best team ever.Definitely assembled the best task force ever, thats for sure, McIlory quipped, getting plenty of laughs as he referenced the task force that the U.S. set up in the aftermath of another Ryder Cup loss two years ago.Look, its a great team, McIlroy said. They have a lot of very talented players in there. Theyre obviously quite confident. So you know what, its up to us to go there and try to upset the odds.McIlroy knows nothing else as it relates to the Ryder Cup. Hes played on three European teams starting in 2010, and been on the winning side each time. He has a 6-4-4 record and has never lost in singles.He hasnt had quite the same luck as it relates to the FedEx Cup. Despite coming to East Lake with excellent cchances in 2012 and 2014 -- the latter year being when he won consecutive major titles as well as a World Golf Championship event. Giants Jerseys Hoodies. Both times he was overtaken for the FedEx Cup because he didnt win the Tour Championship.Now he can win the Tour Championship -- and still not win the FedEx Cup.McIlroy, who won the Deutsche Bank Championship three weeks ago, came into the final PGA Tour event of the season sixth in the points standings. That means he needs to win on Sunday and have Dustin Johnson finish in a tie for second or worse.So I need to play well and need one of the others guys to tie him and see what happens, McIlroy said.The Northern Irishman played well Saturday, making four birdies and no bogeys to climb the leaderboard. He is 2 shots back of Johnson and Kevin Chappell, in a third-place tie with Ryan Moore.It gets me closer to what I need to do, he said. I need to go out and play a very similar, if not better, round of golf tomorrow to have a chance. First and foremost, I just need to try and win this golf tournament, and whatever happens after that happens.It would just be great to try and win the Tour Championship, and if the chips fall my way, then so be it.
