Roush Attack at Lowe's
Betting against Jimmie Johnson at his home track takes a lot of guts or stupidity! But this season on these intermediate speedways Roush Racing has been king! (4 wins in the last 10 races and 15 top fives at this size of track) This weekend I expect all of the Roushkateers to be tough and ya'll know I don't like to play the safe plays. Yes Jimmie Johnson will be in the hunt but I see three better picks for the win. Childress Racing's guys will also be tough in what should be an instant classic under the lights on Saturday night! Good luck with your Fantasy picks this week!
