w Hampshire races is Greg Biffle, who has reached that mark in the past two races at the track.Tough passing also means youre likely to see drivers get out front for a chunk of laps.

It was nice to see we picked up right where we left off on the 1.5-mile tracks.?Martin Truex Jr. was my top pick early in the week, and I stuck with him through the weekend as my top high-value pick. He didnt lead the most laps, but his 67 fastest laps were about double that of any other driver, and those are worth a half-point each, which gave Truex 92.5 DraftKings points per race.Hopefully you ran with my weekend midvalue picks,?Chase Elliott, Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Blaney, because they finished with the second-, third- and fourth-highest point totals. All were under $9,000, and all put up between 64 and 85.75 points.But now were moving away from the 1.5-mile tracks for a couple weeks and heading to New Hampshire this weekend. Its just barely over a mile and quite flat. Its a unique track, but Id lump it in with tracks such as Phoenix and Richmond -- flatter, shorter tracks.Passing is tough at New Hampshire, and thats evidenced by those stats I love so much. In the past five races at the track, no driver has started worse than 28th and finished inside the top 10. In fact, the only driver with a start-finish differential greater than 20 in the past five New Hampshire races is Greg Biffle, who has reached that mark in the past two races at the track.Tough passing also means youre likely to see drivers get out front for a chunk of laps. Earlier this year at New Hampshire, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. both went more than 120 laps led, and no other driver led more than 38. Last year, Kevin Harvick led 216 laps, and the second-most was 27.Another thing to keep in mind: A Joe Gibbs Racing or Team Penske car has won each of the past six races at this track, with Matt Kenseth picking up three of those victories.Heres what Im thinking early in the week, but check back after qualifying for my final picks and fades.Im starting my team with:I just talked up Gibbs and Penske, but Im going in a different direction to start my roster with?Kevin Harvick. Harvick finished 20th at Chicago and was fuming after a bad break that got him caught a lap down. Circumstances made it so that he couldnt make up that lap, so dont knock him for finishing 20th.In fact, I like Harvick coming off a middling Chase finish. The past two years with this format, he has shown an ability to come back and win to get into the next round of the Chase. Check out the 2014 Phoenix or 2015 Dover races for proof.Harvicks performance recently at New Hampshire should be enough to help him move on. He didnt lead there earlier this season, but he did have 29 fastest laps and a fourth-place finish. The three races prior to that, he averaged 126.3 laps led, 63.3 fastest laps and 94.9 DraftKings points per race.Keep an eye on these four:Martin Truex Jr.: The pressures off for Truex, as his Chicago win punches his ticket into the next round of the Chase, NASCARs version of the playoffs. As per usual, dont look too deeply into Truexs history at any track; hes running entirely different than he did earlier in his career. Instead, look at the fact that he led 123 and 193 laps in the past two races at shorter, flatter tracks (New Hampshire in July and Richmond two weeks ago).Kyle Busch: I like to give three top-level drivers for this section, as I figure thats whom youll build your roster around for the week. I liked Brad Keselowski and Matt Kenseth here too but opted for Busch because he has higher top-end potential. Busch has finished ninth or better in the past seven races on short, flat tracks and has led at least 48 laps in six of the nine New Hampshire races, topped by the 133 he led earlier this season.Greg Biffle: This pick is 100 percent based on start-finish differential, so I like him only with a starting spot of 20th or lower. In four of the past five races at New Hampshire, he has started 25th-28th but finished 16th or better in all four, with a pair of top-five finishes. Despite totals of 12 laps led and one fastest lap in those races, he has an average of 41.9 DraftKings points per race.Ryan Newman: Newman is also available for a lower price, but he does some of his best work at New Hampshire. Picking up a fourth career win at the track is extremely unlikely for him, but he was seventh here earlier this year, and in the five races before that, he finished 10th, 11th, 18th, fifth and 16th. In three seasons with Richard Childress Racing (not the strongest equipment Newman has driven in his career), hes averaging 43.3 DraftKings points per race at New Hampshire, sixth among all drivers.Thats all I have for you this week.

Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford has defended the decision to get special permission for Sir Bradley Wiggins to receive injections of a banned drug before three major races - insisting the team had done nothing wrong.Wiggins use of the powerful anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone on the eve of the Tour de France in 2011 and 2012 and the Giro dItalia in 2013 was revealed when a group of Russian computer hackers starting leaking the medical data of dozens of top athletes almost a fortnight ago. Wiggins won the Tour in 2012.The 36-year-old British star applied, and was granted, three therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) to take the drug to deal with a pollen allergy that aggravates his long-standing asthma condition.But triamcinolone has also been widely used as a doping agent by riders, including Lance Armstrong, and is believed to help athletes lose weight, fight fatigue and aid recovery.Wiggins TUEs, which were stolen from the World Anti-Doping Agencys computer servers by the so-called Fancy Bears international hack team, were approved by cyclings world governing body the UCI and there is no suggestion that he or the team have broken any rules.But that has not stopped both the rider and Team Sky facing a barrage of criticism from inside and outside the sport, particularly given the teams much-publicised zero tolerance attitude towards doping, and Wiggins own comments about drugs cheats and the use of needles in his autobiographies.Brailsford told the BBC: What were talking about here is Bradley having a need, the team doctor supporting that, an expert giving their opinion that this is the medicine that is required, and that then going to the authorities who say we agree with you, and heres the certificate that gives you the permission to use that medication.ddddddddddddIve got trust in (the TUE) process and the integrity of that process.Its not one person making that decision. Its not the rider or the team doctor, who is picking the medication. They have to seek permission to use it and they were granted permission.Critics have pointed out that Wiggins breakthrough performance as a road cyclist at the 2009 Tour, when he came third, was achieved using less powerful medication via an inhaler. That form of asthma therapy no longer requires a TUE as there is no evidence of wider performance enhancement.However, Brailsford added: With the information that I had at the time, five or six years ago, with the information that was presented to me, and the expert opinion and the whole integrity of the process, I would make that decision again.He also rejected any comparisons with former dopers.Certain dopers, who cheated with a cocktail of drugs, claim they used this and abused it for performance enhancement - thats not the the case here, said Brailsford, before adding that the team has only been granted 13 TUEs in their seven seasons of racing.When asked if the public can still believe what theyre seeing, Brailsford said: 100 per cent you can trust in Sky, absolutely 100 per cent. Its the very essence of why we created this team in the first place.However, he acknowledged: Certainly, going forward, there is a broader argument about should TUEs be made public, and were looking at it.
