Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Dover)

Welcome to TimersSports

Raceday Thoughts -

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

- I put more stock into the morning session on Saturday than the final practice session. Race conditions will be much cooler overall today than yesterday. Which is why we should take data from the first practice rather than the second

-I thought Truex struggled a bit in the cooler temps on Saturday, he wasn't bad but only top 10 good in my opinion. I though they got him really good in final practice though.

- All of the rubber on the track was washed away after heavy rain on late Saturday afternoon, so we will have a green racetrack. As the race goes on, watch that rubber build back up. As the track widen ut, I  think the 42 of Kyle Larson will come to live. He loves it by the wall and he was fast all day on Saturday

- For the first time in awhile a JGR car doesn't have the car to beat. It is Kevin Harvick who is the odds on favorite. Even though the JGR camp is directly behind him

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch have the best two cars headed into the race. In both practice sessions on Saturday they stood out as the cars to beat. I don't see that changing today

-You might want to avoid Jamie Mac all together today. He said his elbow is still store and today will be challenging. I would agree with him on that, as this is one of the most physically demanding tracks.

-Ryan Newman have looked good this weekend and seems to have pretty good speed in his No.31 car

- Jimmie Johnson will be a contender today, but he won't be the race winner in my opinion. I have him finishing inside the top 5 behind Harvick and Busch
