Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Texas)

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):

-There were no practice on Saturday, so the cars who were in race trim on Friday could have a huge advantage during today's race.

-I think either Kevin Harvick or Joey Logano will have the best chance to go to Victory lane.

-Watch out for Martin Truex Jr. He is starting mid-pack around 23rd, but I think he can drive through the field though.

-Kurt Busch have had a few tough couple weeks (finish wise), but I think he break through today at Texas!

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

- I like Ricky Stenhouse Jr in Fantasy Live today as a value pick. He is starting 28th, but before wrecking at Martinsville he have finished 8th-13th in 5 straight races. I think he get back on track with another top 15 finish.

-Aric Almirola is someone who I don't really trust without seeing much practice, but he is someone I think will finish inside the top 20. Personally I don't feel like he have enough fantasy value to be considered in most formats though.

-Passing can be done at this place. This track you slide around at a lot. It reminds me a lot of Atlanta where you are slipping and sliding like you are on dirt.

-Kyle Busch is my dark horse today! The driver of the 18 car have found plenty of success here recently and I think he is just matter of races away from winning in the chase.

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-I like Kyle Larson today to surprise people today. He seems to like this place. He starts from 5th.

-Joey Logano is my pick to win today! I have a good feeling about him!

-Austin Dillon is my sleeper pick. He starting from 26th, but he is one of the best drivers at improving throughout the race.

-Jimmie Johnson is under the radar and I love it. Nothing better than having the defending race winner under the radar. In fact, he have won the last three fall races here.
