Happy Raceday. Setting your fantasy team can be difficult , especially
with everything being factored in. Below our group of experts give their
thoughts on today race (Including their final
picks).
Kate Roswell (@CrazyKateNascar):
- Track position will be huge today. I am willing to bet the race winner didn't have the car to beat. Always to play out like that at these type of tracks.
- Be watching out for Jeff Gordon this weekend. He qualified 6th and had a really strong final practice. He could be in store for an strong performance today.
- Greg Biffle have to be the biggest disappointment. A lot of people were very high on him all week long , but is anyone truly shocked? I am not. RFR isn't RFR anymore.
- Martin Truex Jr could easily make it back-to-back wins today. Crew Chief said his car was perfect during Final practice.
Garry Briggs (Garryy12):
- I got some angry messages from Jr Nation this week after I guaranteed Dale Earnhardt Jr would finish outside the top 10 at Pocono finally. Well Jr Nation , I predict a win out of the 88 this week. Happy?
- Jamie McMurray was someone I was pretty high on heading into the weekend, but he have struggled in pretty much every practice session held at Michigan. Doesn't help he qualified 25th. He wasn't great last weekend either though, but still ended solid. Still don't think there better fantasy options out there.
- Greg Biffle. The Biff. Call whoever you like I still won't even consider him outside of the plate races. Not sure why so many people were hell bent on him this week. Needless to say , I want no part of him.
-Austin Dillon been a personal favorite sleeper of mine the past few weeks. He starting to show the potential that we all were expecting. However not many people have noticed. This is one of Dillon's favorite tracks. Or least I would think so judging by his past performances on it.
Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):
- Jeff Gordon is definitely someone to look out for. I am probably higher than most on him though. I wouldn't be shocked by an top 5 run by him. He was pretty strong last weekend at Pocono. The 24 team might be onto something of late? Maybe. Maybe not.
-The Penske cars have gained a lot this week, but they are still behind the Hendrick powered cars and Gibbs Toyotas. Even though they clearly have found something.
-Paul Menard have been a disappointment in most people opinions. He actually have looked pretty decent overall. But after 3 straight Top 5 finishes here the standards are fairly high.
-The Gibbs cars look a little off this weekend compared to the Hendrick cars and Haas cars , but I am not convinced that they won't mix it up. A track like Michigan will give them a shot to run up front. Especially with their super-fast pit crews.
