Fantasy Nascar Race Day Thoughts (PHX)

Welcome to TimersSports

Happy Raceday. Setting your fantasy team can be difficult , especially with everything being factored in. Below our group of analysis give their thoughts on today race (Including their final
picks).

Kate Roswell:

-Phoenix is usually where the top teams finish up front. So expect the HMS, SHR, Penske, JGR,etc teams mostly finish up front.

-I fully expect an SHR car to be in victory lane in today's race.

-I thought Jimmie Johnson looked really good in both practice on Saturday and may be a bit overlooked. In fact thought all the HMS cars looked pretty good

-I think the Penske cars will surprise a lot of people today

Garry Briggs:

-Ricky Stenhouse Jr is a driver under the radar, but I think he sneaks away with an top 15 finish today. Very underrated fantasy option. He didn't blow me away in practice (he didn't last week either), but I have a good feeling about him overall.

-I don't know why so many people are jumping off the Kevin Harvick bandwagon this week. I thought he had the best car in practice and I don't think him qualifying poorly is going to matter too much.

-Kasey Kahne is someone you need to watch out for coming from the back. He showed top 10 speed throughout the weekend. Let see if he can come from the back now.

-Truex looked real good in both practices to me on Saturday. Not many people have talked about him, but I believe he can make a top 5 run on Sunday.

Matt Aleza:

-Two HMS cars starting deep in the field. I am very interested in how long it takes both of those cars to make it into the top 20

-Austin Dillon is someone who have caught a lot of people attention lately. He have started off the season very well, but he haven't looked quite as good this weekend. Still solid, but I don't think he will be able to live up his Vegas run.

-JGR qualified in 4 of the top 6 starting position. But honestly I don't know if any of them can stay up inside the top 3 or 4 though. Felt like SHR and HMS had the advantage in practice.

-I really like Dale Jr starting mid-pack. I thought they got him really good by end of final practice
