Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Bristol)

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):

-JGR looks like they have the cars to beat once again. Anyone shocked? Me either!

- Track position will be important. Most of the winners at Bristol have started inside the top 15. Willing to bet that is the case once again on Saturday night.

-Kyle Busch may be the driver to beat heading into tonight's race.

-Ricky Stenhouse Jr is a legit sleeper who starts inside the top 10. Pretty impressive on Friday overall!

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

- If you are looking for value, then AJ Dinger is your man. He was pretty happy with his car in race trim on Friday. He been a solid driver on short tracks this season!

-So who do I think will disappoint? Excellent question. I have a feeling Carl Edwards will. I don't know why, but my gut tells me he may not get the finish we are hoping. Of course my gut also told me to avoid Austin Dillon last week. So do what you want with that information.

-Matt Kenseth is a very interesting topic. I am for one still very high on him! However not sure if that the case with everyone else after he qualified 13th. On twitter I saw tweets such as ''What wrong with Matt Kenseth?'' or ''Bust of the week, Matt Kenseth''. We have 500 miles to decide a winner. Don't throw the 20 the dogs quite yet.

-Logano went under the radar this week. He qualified 5th and nobody really talking about him. I like his chances and personally I think he will surprise everyone with another win.

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-Kyle Larson is the guy I will be watching. Wouldn't it be neat for him to score his first win at Bristol? Part of me hoping it happens. Of course that part of me also want the Vikings to win the NFC North.

-More than a few cars hit the wall in practice. That worries me for tonight's race. Also the NXS race was a bit wild, so we are probably in for a wild ride.

-Ryan Blaney is one of my favorite dark horses for tonight's race. He have found a lot of success at Bristol in the lower series and could finish near the top 10.

- How will Clint Bowyer do? That will be interesting. There probably a lot on his mind right now with making the chase and employment for next season.
