Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Phoenix)

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):

-Kurt Busch will be very tough to beat in today's race! He is my pick to go to victory lane.

-Track position will be key, so expect some crazy pit calls today.

-This is one of the shortest races on the schedule at only 312 miles. Going a lap down early could end your day before it get started. If you are on the lead lap with 50 to go, you are good shape for the finish.

-What is wrong with Penske and the Fords? They all seems to be a little off in Saturday's practices.

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

-Kyle Larson is fast! The drive of the 42 car will have a shot at winning today's race, given everything goes according to plan.

-I do believe Kevin Harvick will make it 5 straight wins at PIR. He isn't quite as strong as he was back in the Phoenix, but don't count out the 4 car.

-Harvick's biggest threat (besides teammate Kurt Busch)? Last week's winner Jimmie Johnson. He is starting on the pole and have a very fast car.

-Alright Junior Nation, I will give you some love! Dale Jr is someone under the radar who should not be! He have a top 5 car headed into today's race.

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-I think the two cars to beat will be Harvick and Busch. I do believe one of them will end in victory lane. Question is which one?

-JGR have not been talked about much this weekend overall. I think that is a good thing though. I expect both Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards to finish inside the top 7.

-Kasey Kahne is someone to watch out for. He qualified inside the top 10 and have top 10 speed as well for the race.

-Track position will huge. We all know that. So how many risks are these teams willing to take in order to win? I don't think there any limits. I think everyone battling for a spot at homestead will have the ''win or go home'' attitude toward today's race.
