Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Sonoma)

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 today race (Including their final
picks).

Kate Roswell (@CrazyKateNascar):

- Strategy. We will heard this word over and over throughout today's race. Pretty good chance we will see a late pit stop that will jumble this race. Is it a given? No. But I like the odds of it.

-Jeff Gordon will find himself back in victory lane after nearly a decade at Sonoma. He start from 5th and have a fast car this weekend.

-I expect both the Penske drivers to run better than they did last season here. I have them 10th and 11th in my rankings. With little luck one of them could find victory lane.

-I like Dale Jr as a legit sleeper today.

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

- I am not as high on Jeff Gordon as most everyone else is. I don't think he will be able to live up to the high standards everyone is expecting.

-Greg Biffle is a guy to watch out for. 4 of the past 5 races he have finished inside the top 10 at Sonoma. He starting from 22nd.

-If you love rolling the dice with your fantasy picks (like I do), then today is your lucky today. Sonoma is a great track to gamble at and try to get lucky.

-Not big on the CGR cars after seeing practice and qualifying. I had high hopes for Jamie McMurray. Course he will probably go out and win now.

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-Starting position more important than people think. You don't wanna be caught in mid-pack with just a good car. Without strategy you probably will never be able to get to the front. Especially since passing will be tougher than ever under the current rule package.

- Don't use up your tires trying to make passes. The drivers who will be racing up front at end of a run will probably be the best road course drivers. They seem to understand how to be fast and not use up their equipment. Tires will be important today.

-AJ Dinger will be a great fantasy option today. Bank on it.

-Don't sleep on Kevin Harvick!
