Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Indy)

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):

- Track position will be huge once again this weekend. Just like it have been the past few races. I think starting position will be very important to start this race. Cars will be strung out after awhile. Unless there a lot of cautions which is probably unlikely.

-The Chevy looks to be the cars to beat today. More specific Kevin Harvick. He looked like the man to beat in practice and starts inside the top 10.

- Carl Edwards is the guy I am watching. He is starting up front once again (like he did at New Hampshire), but he didn't post any long runs in practice. He is the question mark in my opinion.

-Are the CGR cars legit this week? I find it very hard to trust them after dropping the ball at New Hampshire. Even though they (McMurray and Larson) both have the speed to finish near the front.

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

-Yes I have gotten the messages for jinxing JMac at New Hampshire by saying he was due for a disappointing finish (The Garry's jinx is all too real folks). However I have good news. I like him for a top 10 finish on Sunday.

-Who is my disappointment for today? I was going with Edwards, but then I thought that was too easy since he will likely fade down the running order anyhow. So I going with Jeff Gordon. He been hyped up this week and I personally think he will try a little too hard to win in his final race at Indy.

-I think Kevin Harvick is the guy to beat today. He was bad fast on the long runs on Friday and starts from 6th. Roll with the hot driver.

-Expect a boring follow the leader race. So get your pillow ready if yesterday's NXS race is any indication.

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-Few guys start deep in the field such as Brad Keselowski , Matt Kenseth and Kasey Kahne. How will they make it through the field? I am quite interested in that. All three have good cars. Question is can they get the track position?

-After qualifying 19th, can Jeff Gordon win his 6th race at Indy? I don't think he will (with out strategy), but I do think he is a solid fantasy pick this weekend.

-The CGR are very interesting this week. They disappointed at New Hampshire, but I think they will rebound very nice today. Both showed top 10 speed.

-Chase Elliott or Ryan Blaney? That is the question a lot of us are pondering. I think both will finish inside the top 20, if not better. If everything goes according to plan that is.
