Fantasy Nascar Raceday Thoughts

Welcome to TimersSports

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 is important here. If not huge. Look at the top 10 finishers in June. All started inside the top 15.

- Jeff Burton is a value deal in Yahoo. Its unknown how long Stewart will be out. In my opinion. , we have to use this week as a huge opportunity in grouping c.

- Trevor Bayne is useless this week with zero practice and qualifying time. At best he is a top 25 option.

- Kyle Larson have a great shot at victory lane.

Garry Briggs (@Gbriggs12):

-The Roush cars caught me off guard overall. Much improved from last time.

-Jeff Gordon and Kevin Harvick seems like the two to beat overall. It could definitely come down to pit strategy.

- Austin Dillon will have a shot at a top 10. If not a top 5.

- Paul Menard and Ryan Newman also caught my eye. I like both of them.

Matt Aleza (@Mattaleza1):

-Passing shouldn't be a problem. Track position will be the bigger factor.

- Ryan Newman , Matt Kenseth , Austin Dillon and Kyle Larson all are winless in 2014. All will be point racing. Which means they are safest bets to finish well.

- Jimmie Johnson will be one of the most risky options this weekend. Team 48 are clearly testing.

- Jeff Gordon will notch his 3rd win of 2014. I am convinced Gordon is one of the guys to beat.

Sleeper and Bust Picks:

Michelle - Paul Menard is my sleeper. Brad Keselowski is my bust. Menard not getting enough attention. BK just cannot finish.

Garry- Annett and Edwards. Annett is under the radar. Nice option in fantasy live. Edwards just haven't impressed me enough. I think he a bit overvalued.

Matt - Kurt Busch and Bowyer. Busch is under the radar. Way under the radar. He a sneaky play. Bowyer haven't looked good enough to be a top 10 guy.
