2017 Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Chicago)

Welcome to TimersSports

RaceDay Thoughts -


Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans18):

- Gibbs bunch are strong again and should all be considered the favorites

-Kyle Larson looked really good in final practice. He was showing a lot of speed on the long runs, especially on his opening 25-lap run. I remember closely tracking that one and being impressed.

-A lot of people are expecting Jimmie Johnson to suddenly come to live in the playoffs. Sorry folks, I don't believe in fairytales.

- Kevin Harvick has been one of the better cars here this weekend. Be watching him once the green flag drops

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

- Brad Keselowski has looked great this weekend. His car is really strong on the long runs.

- Chase Elliott has been at top of the speed charts all weekend long. It will be interesting if he can translate it into the race

- Ryan Blaney will be a interesting guy to watch. He is showing good speed this weekend and looks good enough to challenge for a top 10 finish (like usual). Question is: Can he finish a race out for a change?

- Gibbs/FRR look like the favorites headed in, followed by Larson and Harvick
