Welcome to TimersSports
Alright like last week, I will give everyone some post practice sleepers! Big reason I am doing this is because it real hard to accurately predict sleepers before seeing any practice time. As my original article is posted on every Wednesday (click here to check the one from this week). After watching practice and qualifying, here are some sleepers I really liked!
Sleepers -
Ricky Stenhouse Jr - Stenhouse Jr made my sleepers list back on Wednesday and he will remain on my radar. He didn't qualify as well as I would have liked, but he was rock solid in practice. Remember he have 3 straight top 15 finishes headed into the weekend, so him showing speed is a extra bonus. I am not gonna sit here and try to sell him as a must-have fantasy option, because he isn't! However you can get him at a ridiculous value. Doesn't matter what game you play, he will be greatly overlooked as he isn't a household name. I think he least finishes inside the top 20, and probably finishes inside the top 15 once again. Long as everything goes right for him.
Austin Dillon - Dillon starts from deep in the field, but don't be fooled though. He have a fast car on the long runs like he did last week at Charlotte. I expect Dillon to make it through the field and contend for a top 15 finish, regardless how he get there. The 3 team will likely need to use some track position, but after that they should be good to go. I really like Dillon because how he is running lately. Only a few non-chaser have ran well as him in the chase and I think that continues on Sunday. Not to mention, he finish 8th in this race last season. Goes back what I said on Wednesday about him running better in the 2nd half of the season!
Aric Almirola - Aric like Dillon and Stenhouse was listed on my orginal post back on Wednesday. I still like Aric, but not quite as much though. Nevertheless he should be a solid fatnasy option in most formats. He will start from 23rd which is not ideal at Kansas, but he was happy with his car in race trim on Saturday. At end of final practice on Saturday, Aric felt like they had a good foundation for Sunday's race. A positive note from a driver is always a good sign. I think Aric contends for a top 15 or at worst a top 20 finish.
Paul Menard - I was little hard on Paul this week in my post, but he convinced me! I have been impressed by him so far this weekend. Qualified 13th and showed decent speed in every practice. Also he have a stout track record dating back to the 2010 season in the fall at Kansas. As Jeff noted in the Fantasy Nascar Update earlier, he pointed out that Menard have never finished worse than 12th in the fall at Kansas. I find that very impressive. I like trends like that! I wouldn't be shocked if he extended that streak on Sunday.
