2017 Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Daytona)

Welcome to TimersSports

RaceDay Thoughts -


Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

-This race is crazy and so are my picks are crazy, too. Sometimes crazy is good

-Dale Jr starting on the front row was pretty much a given. You actually think he wasn't going to start on the pole? If you did, then well, I don't what to tell you. These Hendricks cars are really fast again.

-The Gibbs cars are starting all outside of the top 12, but they are all great plate racer. Two of them are Denny Hamlin (former 500 winner) and Kyle Busch.

-Austin Dillon is my sleeper this weekend. He had his worst finish at Daytona in the #3 back at the 500. He's finished 19th.

- I think those Penske Fords will have a big say in who wins tonight race

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-When will the big one happen? Who knows. Where are you safe at? Who knows. You better have lady luck on your side or this could be a bad night

- Ford and Chevy seem to have the most speed in qualifying. As all 12 drivers were from HMS, CGR, Penske, Roush or SHR. 4 HMS cars, 1 CGR car (get their engines from HMS), 2 Penske cars (and the 21 car, too), 1 RFR car and 3 SHR cars.

- For whatever reason, these non-big names have a knack for having their moments here. Don't be shocked to see some smaller teams get their best finish of the season here.

-Enjoy the race, don't worry about your picks. Especially if there is a wreck, because there's a good chance you have a pick in it.
