RaceDay Thoughts -
Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans18):
-I think the Gibbs cars will be very tough this beat in today's race! They been very fast since unloading, just as we expected them to be.
-Jeff Gordon will make his short-season debut today at Indy. I personally think he is nothing beyond a lower-teen finisher
-The track will be hot and slick today, that should play into the hands of a driver named Tony Stewart. And he starting up front too!
-Chase Elliott will be a stud today, mark my words he will be someone who will be a factor today.
Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):
-There really aren't a lot of sleepers that I like today, but I do like Jamie Mac though. He has speed and the Ganassi have improved a bunch over the past couple months. He has 2 Top 10 finishes over past 3 races this season
-I like the RCR cars more than usual, they all seems to pretty good overall. It hard to say with how the practice schedule was setup though. Newman have stoodout to me more than most weekends, which by itself should be notable
-Track position will key today
-Despite qualifying 25th, I think Kasey Kahne will still be a respectable top 15 finisher. I haven't been blown away by him, but I have a feeling he will be better than people think though
Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):
- Track position and pit road will be important. In 2013, this race was won by Ryan Newman's team selecting for 2 tires instead of 4. Johnson took 4 tires and lost the lead late. However, I think there could quite a bit of passing done today
-I think the JGR cars will be very difficult to beat, but I believe only two of them (Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards) are really fast. I think Hamlin and Kenseth are more beatable from what I have seen so far this weekend.
-Kyle Larson starting up inside the top 10 have translated into good results this season as Jeff Nathans mentioned in his Fantasy Nascar Update. I am betting that trend continues.
-AJ Dinger might be a good sleeper today. He finished 23rd and 18th the last two seasons and have never finished worse than 23rd in 7 career starts
