Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Charlotte)

Welcome to TimersSports

RaceDay Thoughts -

Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans18):

- Heading into tonight's race, I view Martin Truex and Jimmie Johnson as the heavy favorites. They been the cars to beat since unloading.

-Rain will clearly be a factor in tonight's race. If we do race, I expect some delays for sure!

-I think the JGR cars will be much better than they showed in practice

-The race winner could win it on fuel mileage (especially if it rain shortened).

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

- I think Martin Truex Jr dominates, but comes up short once again. I think the race winner will be the guy under the radar this weekend in Kyle Busch. He has 4 wins this season and his previous two been on the 1.5 mile tracks. Not only that, but he haven't finished outside of the top 4 on this type of track this season. He's a good bet, folks

- I think some young drivers will have some awesome runs today, including Chase Elliott. I think the rookie will have himself heck of a night. Which probably won't shock anyone

-I also like Austin Dillon, Ricky Stenhouse Jr and Kyle Larson as potential solid finishers

-This track is going to change a lot from practice on Saturday. With rain on the way, this place gonna could be tricky to make fantasy picks. Go with your gut!

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-Headed into the race, I think Truex, Johnson and Harvick are the ones to beat. However as saw at Kansas (the last night race), cars who are fast in practice not always fast in the race

-I think this is a prime race for a young driver to grab his first win. Two drivers who have shown good speed this weekend come to mind in Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson.

-I really like Newman headed into the race. More so because, he have been under the radar for weeks now. Even though all he does is finish inside the top 15 almost every week

-A good value play this weekend may be the RFR cars. Nobody seems to give them any credit, yet all three cars are very capable of top 15 finishes. Biffle stood out of the bunch with top 10 speed
