Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Sonoma)

Welcome to TimersSports

RaceDay Thoughts -

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

-Headed into today's race, I consider Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards and Jimmie Johnson as three of the heavy favorites. All three have solid track records at Sonoma and all three have won here before. Many people pointed at the 41 car as the driver to beat

- I think Kyle Larson is going to be a threat in today's race and contend for the win. He is one of the few young drivers that I actually trust here.

-Strategy will be a major factor in deciding the winner and be flawless will likely be the key in my opinion

- A lot of people are on the AJ Dinger bandwagon this weekend, as they should be. But I have a feeling the result will be same as the previous two seasons though

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-Two drivers who stood out to me this weekend have been the 19 of Carl Edwards (the pole sitter) and 78 of Martin Truex Jr. In fact, the JGR cars all have shown speed at Sonoma. I thought they have been strongest as a group

-Dale Jr caught a lot of people attention on Friday in practice and I think he has a great shot at victory lane today

-Kurt Busch been another driver people in the Cup garage have talked about, he was a favorite headed in and that haven't changed one bit

-I think we could be in for a surprise winner today at Sonoma. My gut says that surprise winner could very well be a local California kid named Kyle Larson

- Not a lot of love for the Dinger, which is little suprising to me. Sure he didn't post many fast laps at top of the charts, but I thought his laps times were very solid in practice though. There's a diference from ''feeling good'' and posting one really fast lap. I think AJ have the more feel good to him than most
