Fantasy Nascar Post Practice Sleepers (Kansas)

Welcome to TimersSports

Post Practice Sleepers -

Austin Dillon - Austin would be weapon of choice tonight regarding sleeper choices. He have everything that you want in a quality fantasy pick! He has speed, momentum (off an top 5 at Talladega) and a strong intermediate track driver. He been a top 10 driver in all the intermediate races this season, including the most recent one at Texas. He also was stout here last October and was top 10 easy good. But then he hit the wall while running like 3rd. That race this week kept coming back to me over and over! Which was one of the major reasons I had such high hopes for him. Also in a interview during practice, he said he been looking forward to coming back to Kansas because he likes this place so much! Dillon tweeted on Friday night that he have a fast car for tonight. Do I need to say anymore?

Ricky Stenhouse Jr - Ricky Stenhouse Jr is under the radar this week and I couldn't be any happier! The driver of the No.17 car have shown all season why RFR is headed in the right direction with top 10 to top 15 speed every week. Tonight will be no different for Stenhouse either. There two races I been looking back at this season to get stable feedback from. Las Vegas (most similar track) and Texas (latest 1.5 mile track - also an night race). At Las Vegas, Stenhouse was top 15 strong for that race and finished 12th. He was top 10 strong at Texas and hovering just outside of the top 5 before Dillon lost control of his car with 30 laps to go. Texas isn't as comparable as Las Vegas, because at Texas the lap times fall-off pretty quickly. But Texas was also an night race, so I think that something we have to think about. Ricky showed good in all of the practices on Friday and qualified 9th.

Aric Almirola - Aric Almirola is someone who could make some noise tonight! I really liked him headed into the week, but I was little gun shy about him because he have struggled to find speed this season. However, in recent weeks I think the No.43 team have found something. He looked very solid at Richmond a couple weeks ago. And showed up to Kansas with a some speed in that Ford. Will that practice speed translate to the race? I don't know, but Aric loves Kansas. He been on the record saying it is one of his favorite tracks.

Have a question?
