2017 Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Texas)

Welcome to TimersSports

RaceDay Thoughts -

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

-I expect a very crazy race, so don't be shocked if your lineup look like complete crap before it is all over

-Several fast cars starting in the back including Larson, Busch and Elliott. I expect all three to find the top 10 before it is all over

-I love Aric Almirola this weekend. Probably the best car he has had in practice this season. Even better than last week's. Aric loves Texas and so does his car this weekend

-RCR looked slowed in practice. Which isn't too much of a surprise honestly

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-SHR showed a lot of speed on Friday in qualifying and looked good in practice. Harvick will start on the pole and honestly I believe he may be tough to beat. Remember the last time he started on the pole?

-The Fords in general are pretty quick this weekend. Harvick, Keselowski, Logano, Blaney, Bowyer. Heck even Aric Almirola been a pretty standout.

-A lot of people are worried about all of the drivers starting in the back. And that's fair, but there's 500 miles. If you keep it clean and don't make any major mistakes, then you will make it to the top 10 at least before the checkers

-HMS is still off to me
