And, just like that, there are only four races remaining in the Sprint Cup Series season. Lets cherish our time together.Previewing Talladega, I talked often about setting your daily fantasy lineup just based on drivers starting further back in the field. With wrecks making finishing position more volatile than ever, the relatively meaninglessness of practice/qualifying speeds and how evenly spread fastest laps are through the field, its worth playing for start/finish differential points, and take the possibility of negative points out of the picture.Was it the smart play? The top three starters in Sundays race, Martin Truex Jr., Brad Keselowski and Matt Kenseth, all put up negative points.Meanwhile, the top six points earners all started 16th or worse, with five of those starting outside the top 20. They included Brian Scott, who cost just $5,100 on DraftKings.But now were done with restrictor-plate racing for the season. Lets shelve that line of thinking until next Februarys Daytona 500.This week, were racing at Martinsville, the polar opposite of Talladega. While Dega is the longest track and one of the highest-bank with a relatively low number laps run (188), Martinsville is the shortest and flattest, and will run 500 laps.And youre going to see some crazy fastest laps and laps led numbers here. Passing is tough, and because of the close quarters, starting position comes into play, since the drivers starting at the back will be nearly a lap down when the race starts.So this all starts with the polesitter. Going back to 2005, the driver starting first has led 110 laps per race. Thats 55 points there right off the start.But those are just averages. Its your best bet, but consider this: Over the last three seasons, theres been six instances of a driver putting up at least 100 fantasy points in a Martinsville race. The best start among those drivers was fourth, by Jimmie Johnson in 2014.The other five started seventh, 13th, 15th, 17th and 23rd. So there is mid-pack value to be had here. But you want to chase those laps led because there is usually a huge points day to be had here for a driver. In the spring Martinsville race, Kyle Busch won while leading 352 laps and running 81 fastest laps. Thats 180.5 points.Here are my picks to get you started this week. But check back again after qualifying for my final picks and fades.Im starting my team with:Kevin Harvick hasnt won at Martinsville since the 2011 spring race. Later that year was also his last top-five finish at the track. So why do I like a driver who hasnt had a top-five finish at Martinsville in the last nine races? Consistency.Over the last three Martinsville race, Harvick has led at least 38 laps in all three, with more than 50 fastest laps in each. He leads all drivers with 63.7 fastest laps per race over the last two seasons at Martinsville.Keep an eye on these four:Kyle Busch: Busch was dominant here in the spring race, leading 352 laps as referenced above. But he falls out of my top spot because he hasnt consistently been collecting bonus points for fastest laps and laps led, despite a string of top-15 finishes. In his previous six Martinsville races, Busch failed to lead three times and never reached 30 fastest laps.Jeff Gordon: Gordon hasnt been overly impressive since returning part-time to fill in for Dale Earnhardt Jr., but he is coming off 10th-place finish in his last start. Gordon has always been great at Martinsville, putting up more than 20 fastest laps in 18 of his last 19 Martinsville starts with an average finish of fifth in that span.Kasey Kahne: Im looking for Kahne to continue his recent resurgence, especially given his strength on shorter, flatter tracks this season (Martinsville, New Hampshire, Richmond and Phoenix). In three of the last four races on such tracks, Kahne has finished with more than 40 DraftKings points and ranked among the top eight drivers. He was ninth and 11th in the two Martinsville races last year before finishing 22nd earlier this season.AJ Allmendinger: The Dinger is a road course ace, but the tight turns and hard braking needed at Martinsville syncs up well with those skills. Allmendinger finished runner-up at Martinsville earlier this season, his fourth finish of 11th or better in the last five Martinsville races. Hes also hit double digits in fastest laps in four of the last five Martinsville races, which isnt bad considering his price tag.Thats all I have for you this week. If you cant get yourself a Martinsville hot dog, prepare your own favorite hot dog. But please dont put ketchup on it. Our friendship depends on it.Alan Page Womens Jersey . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July. Brett Favre Vikings Jersey . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. http://www.authenticvikingspro.com/Brett-favre-vikings-jersey/ . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era. Brett Favre Jersey .Y. -- Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Wednesday that J. John Randle Vikings Jersey . Pierce was ejected in the third quarter of Indianas 103-86 win Monday. George Hill stole a bad pass and was going in for a layup, and Pierce hustled back and appeared to be trying to wrap him up.Leinster reversed last seasons Guinness PRO12 final result with a 24-13 derby victory over Connacht to take top spot in the table.A crowd of 18,200 watched Adam Byrne and Barry Daly run in second-half tries, with captain Isa Nacewa kicking 14 points.The result sees the province move to the top of the PRO12 table, level on points with Ospreys and Glasgow Warriors. A fiercely-contested first half ended 9-6 in Leinsters favour, Nacewas three penalties cancelling out an early brace of penalties from Connacht centre Craig Ronaldson.Pat Lams reigning champions were craving a victory in Dublin - Connachts last one coming 14 years ago - but they had no answer to Leinsters scrum dominance and the destructive breakdown work of man-of-the-match Dan Leavy and the returning Sean OBrien. Highlights of the Guinness PRO12 match at the RDS Leinster were on the defensive for most of the first quarter, leaking two penalty goals from Ronaldson, but a Leavy-wonn penalty at the breakdown broke up Connachts attacking rhythm.dddddddddddd. Healy then got the plaudits for a 23rd-minute scrum penalty which Nacewa turned into three points.Despite losing OBrien to the sin-bin, the hosts were exerting more control at the breakdown and Nacewa duly levelled matters in the 32nd minute. Connacht had won their last two matches against Leinster Peter Robb was then binned for a deliberate knock-on which prevented a Leinster line-break, briefly evening up the numbers on the pitch and allowing Nacewa to boot the hosts in front.Having survived a late bout of Connacht pressure before the interval, Leinster were much the better side in the third quarter, their aggressive defence and superior scrum becoming key factors.Off set-piece ball in the westerners 22, the hosts managed to suck in the Connacht defence and passes from Jamison Gibson-Park and Sean Cronin led to Byrne scooping up a bouncing ball to touch down in the right corner. Leinster have only lost once this PRO12 season back in Round 2 Full-back OHalloran, arguably Connachts best player on the night, won a vital ruck penalty as Leinster pressed for another score. But an OBrien turnover led to Nacewas fourth penalty success on the hour mark.Leinsters scrum was on the cusp of winning a penalty try before Daly marked his first PRO12 start with a try, going over wide on the left from a flat Joey Carbery pass.After Nacewas conversion, Connacht broke downfield and their efforts were eventually rewarded with Shane Delahunts seven-pointer by the posts.
