Fantasy Nascar Raceday Thoughts

Happy Raceday (well technically the race tonight). Setting your fantasy team can be difficult , especially with everything being factored in. Below our group of experts give their thoughts on tonight race.

Michelle Rizzo (@MichelleRizzo5):

- The weather is looking iffy for tonight race. Hopefully it clears up eventually.

- Few guys to watch starting outside top 15: Matt Kenseth , Dale Jr , Kyle Larson , Paul Menard and Aric Almirola

-Track position will huge all race long. Who ever have track position late should have a big advantage. Passing is possible , but tough to do.

- Brain Vickers starts 15th , many eyes will be on him. As many believe he a legit top 10 option for tonight race.

Garry Briggs (@Gbriggs12):

- Watch out for Kyle Busch tonight. Many of the Crew members pointed towards the 18 as the odd on pre race favorite.

- Jeff Gordon , Kevin Harvick , Matt Kenseth , Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski were scouted as the guys to beat. Expect one of them to lead the most laps.

- Vickers yet to have a bad race day with MWR at Bristol. That should scare you if you're starting old Vickers. His string of good finishes might end tonight at Bristol.

- Kyle Larson have wrecked twice in the past 24 hours at Bristol. Its should be fun watching him deep in the field.

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza) :

- Kenseth starts just outside the top 15 ,just watch him rocket through the field.

- Don't undervalued a driver because of poor starting position. There some good cars starting outside top 10.

- One of the Gibbs cars will end in VL. I think all three scores top 10, if not better.

- Be careful with lineups , I have a feeling some valuable drivers will be taken out by crashes.
