Welcome to TimersSports
The final race of the season is coming up which means this is my final post of the 2015 season! That's feel strange, but I am very much looking toward the 2016 offseason myself, but we have one more race to cover here at Timerssports! Homestead is an 1.5 mile worn-out racetrack that offer multiple racing groove. What I love about this place is the fall-off. The lap times will quickly drop off shortly after start of a green flag run. If you watched the NXS race, you see what I mean. So how about sleepers? Good question. I think there a large pool of sleepers this weekend for us to choose from. I am not complaining about it. However I would limited myself to the action though. Going too deep into the pool could be dangerous. I would stick to the main names, if I could.
Let get started!
Sleepers -
Aric Almirola - Almirola is one of the safest sleepers in the field! He been fast all weekend long and could make a quality fantasy option in most formats. He also been very consistent this season (especially during the chase), and have turned in a nice middle-of-the-road driver. He doesn't do anything special, but he does a good job of finishing on the lead lap inside the top 18. You cannot ask for much more than from a driver like Aric. Most weekends, he will finish inside the top 15 though. Which pretty just adds to his already solid fantasy value. Not to mention, Aric have never finished outside of the top 20 at Homestead since joining RPM back in 2010 in the 9 car. Consistency is what makes Aric such a great option at this point in the season. You should be able to count on that once again on Sunday.
Kyle Larson - I really like Larson a lot more than I previous did heading into the weekend. Especially after qualifying mid-pack in the 23 starting position. I thought he had one of the faster cars this weekend at times, and that was before I watched him dominate in the NXS race and they said this is his favorite racetrack. What really make Larson good is how he can just ride the high line. There isn't a driver in the field that can wheel a car up top like him. More than a few drivers will get into the wall in Sunday's race. If Kyle can keep it off the wall, I believe he will finish inside the top 10. However I think it should be noted that Larson downfall will be probably smacking the wall. I am almost willing to bet, if he finishes poorly it will because of that.
Austin Dillon - I could not find a better sleeper than Austin Dillon and I looked. Dillon is a risk vs reward fantasy option in my opinion to certain extent. He have a fast racecar and should be able run inside the top 15. But as I noted in my original post on Thursday, he been top 12 or nothing on the 1.5 mile racetracks lately. Meaning he had something go wrong during the race. So that why I would call him a risk vs reward. I really do like Dillon. He have the speed to be a legit top 10 threat, but for reason he have had that potential often this season. In the end, he have failed to finish there. Last season he was a consistent driver, but he ran poorer more often though. This season he is running much better, but he is inconsistent. Guess that only make sense though.
