Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Richmond)

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 and Penske look to have the advantage once again! Anyone shocked?

-Pit strategy will be a heavy factor and it usually is. Especially in this race as teams are trying to gamble to make the chase cutoff.

-Denny Hamlin have struggled and I cannot be shocked. The man just torn his ACL. I don't think I could trust him at the moment.

-I am little concerned with Hendrick right now. They can barely place one car in the top 10 on a weekly basis and it almost always a different one. I wouldn't trust them until they show legitimate speed again.

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

- The Dinger was on the list of my weekly Sleepers & Busts! He looked pretty racy on Friday and qualified inside the top 10! He could finish inside the top 15 this week and is my top sleeper choice.

-What wrong with Clint Bowyer? Struggled at Darlington and now looks lost at Richmond. What exactly what I would want in a potential chase driver. Just weeks ago, I thought he was had turned it to another gear. Funny how that works!

-The winner of tonight's race probably won't have the best car or the even lap the most laps. He (or she) will have the best crew. Unless you have a car like Brad Keselowski did last season, then it doesn't matter how good your crew is.

-Best advice like always is go with your gut & drink a few cold ones for me too. Since I will be at work when the race starts.

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-Matt Kenseth is someone that nobody have really talked about, but he is someone you may regret overlooking. He starts 2nd and he may just go to victory lane!

-Dillon is someone to watch out for as he starts from 12th! Richmond isn't a standout track for him, but he is probably go for a top 20. If not better.

-Kyle Busch will finally break back into victory lane. Yes I know it seems like forever since the 18 won a race. Yet it only been 5 races now.

-Rain is in the forecast, so this could be a tricky race if the rain comes at the right time.
