Happy Raceday. Setting your fantasy team can be difficult , especially with everything being factored in. Below our group of experts give their thoughts on day race (Including their final picks).
Michelle Rizzo (@MichelleRizzo5) :
- Track position will be huge. 70% Of the winners came from the top 10 starting positions at WGI. Insane.
- There isn't a clear cut favorite. But Ambrose may be the closest to sure thing for today's race. He starts 2nd. Almost everyone will start him on their team.
- Keep an eye on Kyle Busch. He starts 19th. The furthest back he have started here. Could be interesting if he get impatience with other cars.
- Justin Alliager starts 15th. He could be a nice sleeper for today's race.
Garry Briggs (@Gbriggs12) :
- Avoid Danica Patrick in Yahoo if possible. Starts 43rd in a backup car. The only thing worse then 43rd starting position is being in a backup. Going through the field can be a challenge.
- Aj Dinger may just end in VL today. He been fast all weekend. The Dinger starts 6th. He led the most laps at Sonoma. Been near the top of the charts all weekend long.
- Michael McDowell , Kevin Harvick , Casey Mears and David Gilliland all are underrated road course drivers. I like all of them to do well today.
- For Yahoo , the C-list is a complete mess. Boris , Dillon , Larson and Patrick all starts outside the top 20. None of them really warrants start consideration based on practice/qualifying efforts.
Matt Aleza (@MattAleza1) :
- Greg Biffle is a terrific deal in Fantasy Live. He starts 28th and is capable of finishing well inside the top 20.
- Someone from inside the top 10 will likely win. So in leagues with extra rewards for improving your starting position , stack half of your drivers with winning potential drivers. Other half with drivers starting near the back.
- Don't buy into Vickers solid starting position. He wasn't top 10 material in practice. At best an top 15 value.
- Start save in Yahoo. Road courses to me are all about starts saving. No need to use logano or Kes , when Ambrose and Dinger are available at a better value.
Sleeper -
Michelle: Greg Biffle. I like the Biffle. Top 10? No. Anywhere from 13th - 20th is reasonable. He might make a nice option in certain formats.
Garry: Newman. My hometown bro Ryan Newman looked pretty darn good in practice and qualified solidly. Unfortunately he will be overlooked.
Matt: JMac. JMac didn't look too bad in my honest opinion. He should finish around 15th. Makes a nice option in deeper formats.
