Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Bristol)

Welcome to TimersSports

RaceDay Thoughts -

Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans18):

- JGR will be very tough to beat in tonight's race. They all have a lot of speed and they all start up front. A combo, the field doesn't like to hear

-Track position will be very big tonight and whoever has it should have the advantage for awhile.

-I think both of the Penske cars will be very good tonight tonight. They be just behind the JGR cars in my opinion headed into the race

- HMS I think could turn things around tonight. They are a few steps behind right now, but all their cars seems to be better than they were before

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

- Don't based your lineup on practice alone. Starting position, track history, other short track results should be the majority of your factoring in. This is also a night race, so practice becomes less relevant regardless

- I think Kasey Kahne could surprise some people tonight. He has some speed in his Chevy and have performed well here in the past. Including this past spring, even though he didn't get the finish he should have.

- A couple drivers from outside of the top 20 would be Kyle Larson and Kevin Harvick. They are the two drivers who could make up the most ground tonight. Both are least top 10 cars.

-If I learn anything from the NXS race on Friday night, then that is the high-line is still the preferred line. Bottom works too, but I don't think you can stay down there for more than a few laps after a restart though. Of course, it will take awhile to get the top to come in. After all the rain we have gotten at Bristol
