Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Talladega)

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):

-Like it or not, Talladega is like a chess match. You need to position yourself and hope to god that the wrecking starts behind you!

-I am more willing to take a gamble today on risky fantasy options, but still think the big names will dominate up front though.

-I think Dale Jr get it done today and advances himself to the next round. He have done very well this year on this type track. Why stop now?

-The Hendricks cars will be tough to beat and I think they will have lead most of the laps today!

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

-Predictable is normal and normal is boring! I hate normal, so I will do my best to throw together risky lineup in least few of my fantasy leagues.

-Dale Jr haven't won in the fall at Talladega since 2004. And only have one top 10 finish since here in the fall since 2005 season (thanks for the great stat, Jeff). I am a gambler, so I may just leave him off few of my lineups today. Just in case that trend holds true.

-I am not really expecting a  entirely crazy race, but I do expect a big one to take out some championship contenders.

-Cole Whitt have improved in every single start at Talladeaga! I would be very pleased with a lead lap finish from him!


Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-My objective in majority of my leagues are to just escaping with very little damage. I am not planning on taking many risks. So don't be shocked by lineups choice or anything.

-I like Austin Dillon more than I actually should, but he have found plenty of plate success so far in his young career.

-Eye your eyes out for the big one, folks! That the one thing everyone will be talking about until it happens. As we saw in the truck race, it could happen anytime. Including the final laps of the race.

-No there is no good strategy here. Some people say up front where you need to be and other say it safe out back. Lol there no safe place, people. Sorry but there just isn't! It all about being in the right place at the right time. Simple as that!
