Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Michigan)

Welcome to TimersSports

RaceDay Thoughts -

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

-I really like HMS this weekend. They have shown good speed since unloading off the truck. Something we haven't seen in a while.

-JGR haven't been quite as good as everyone was expecting. Come to think of it, they haven't been their old self with this package. They were good at Kentucky, but not dominated like we have seen at times this season.

-Austin Dillon have disappointed me this week. I had high hopes for him! At one point in practice, he said this is the worst he ever been at Michigan. He got a little better after that, but still not where he needs to be.

-Track position will be key and starting up front lately here have translated into good things

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

- I think Denny Hamlin will be very good in today's race. He has a car capable of finishing inside the top 5.

-Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano are the drivers who I think will finish 1-2. They both have great history and both start up front

-Don't be shocked to see a first-time winner today. Chase Elliott have stood out since unloading and have been mentioned throughout the garage as being fast. Kyle Larson and Ryan Blaney are also pretty fast. I for one expected him to qualify better. He's better than 12th place.

-Kasey Kahne could be a good sleeper today. He may have had his best practices of the year at Michigan. Practice doesn't always translate, but it will be interesting to see what he has to offer in the race.
