Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Kansas)

Welcome to TimersSports

RaceDay Thoughts -

Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans18):

-Track conditions will be much different than it was during heat of the day in practice. So don't be shocked, if some of the fast cars in practice struggle. Or some of the slow cars in practice become fast. Or stay exactly the same. I hate night races

-What in the holly hell going on with Kasey Kahne? He looked completely lost in practice. That team was frustrated all day with the car and it showed on the lap times. Just terrible!

- Kevin Harvick is another driver that struggled on Friday and the results showed. But unlike Kahne, I fully expect the 4 car to be able to fight his way up into the top 10 tonight

-Edwards and Truex both will be tough to beat tonight. They were bad fast at the last night race and boy they both looked awful strong again!

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

-I was able to watch majority of practice on Friday, even though I didn't get to catch the final 30 minutes of final practice, but I thought Austin Dillon was fast. I think that 3 car will be someone to keep a eye on tonight

-Ricky Stenhouse Jr is one of those drivers who just goes unnoticed and nobody really realizes it until the race already started. I am honestly shocked more people aren't jumping on the Stenhouse hype train. He is only 1 of 5 drivers to sweep the top 16. That's pretty solid and is a solid bet to finish inside the top 15 once again!

-Pit strategy will be a big factor in tonight's race. Which is a big reason I think it not a bad idea to have a few fantasy sleepers on your radar.

-I think Truex have a legit shot to win from the pole. He been so close at this track more than a few times, I think he have a great shot at getting it done finally.

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-I think either Kenseth, Truex or Johnson will find victory lane tonight.

-Aric Almirola is a solid sleeper if you are looking for one. This is one of Aric's favorite racetracks and he haven't really been talked about this week. Could be in for a solid top 15. He looked really good on the speed charts overall!

-Kyle Larson showed pretty good speed in racetrim on Friday and this is probably the best he looked all year on the intermediate racetracks. Question is can it translate to tonight?

-My best advice tonight is to go with your gut. These night races are tough to predict, so just hope some luck is on your side
