Fantasy Nascar Raceday Thoughts

Welcome to TimersSports

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 Gibbs cars all start outside the top 10. I predict least one of them ends in the top 5. While another one have an early night trip to the garage.

- An popular sleeper for tonight race is Jamie Mac. The question isn't about his level of equipment. But more the driver ability to seal the deal.

- The man starts 24th is a guy to watch. Dale jr is an awesome value deal in certain formats.

- The talk of the year been about Jeff Gordon , but his teammate could make some noise tonight. Johnson could be in for a awesome night at RIR.

Garry Briggs (@Gbriggs12):

-2 drivers which are overlooked: Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth. Both looked good in practice and have added value with poor starting position.

- Honestly I am not that big on Hamlin. Despite a solid track record , I don't get why everyone is so high on Hamlin. Recently he have struggled on this type track. Also didn't look top 5 material in practice. He seems to be at his best on the 1.5 mile ovals.

-Kevin Harvick been fast all weekend long. But I still think he will find away to screw up. Its just how his season have gone.

- Expect the worse from your lineups. My mindset each week is every car in my lineup will wreck. This week that probably more realistic then normal. Night gonna be really crazy or completely normal.

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

- I really like Matt Kenseth tonight. He seems to be forgotten each week. Yet he consistency finishes in the top 10.

- Kurt Busch another guy who caught my eye. Potentially an top 5 guy for tonight race.

- I love Jamie Mac this week. He stood out to. Especially outside of Penske and HMS. He could actually win with the right strategy.

- Track position is typically big here. Expect the winner to come out of nowhere. Likely a driver who needed a win.
