2018 Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Bristol)

Welcome to TimersSports

RaceDay Thoughts -

Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans18):

- It will be the Kyle and Kyle show tonight

- JGR cars will be strong tonight

- It is so easy to lapped here, so get to the front soon as possible

- Expect crazy because we are bound to see something go down at some point

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

- Ryan Blaney is my gut feeling pick for tonight. I think he is gonna have a very strong run

- Kyle Larson will be tough to beat tonight, especially up top. We saw what he was able to do in the spring race

- One pit road penalty under green and your shot at the win is over. That is not an educated guess, it is a cold hard fact. You will lose multiple laps and you will be playing catch up for rest of the race

- I like the SHR cars more than most. I think all four end up in the top 10

Driver Group lineups -

Jeff's lineup - 18,41,20,88

Garry's lineup - 42,12,10,34

Dark Horse -

Jeff's Pick - Erik Jones

Garry's Pick - Ryan Blaney

2018 Fantasy Nascar Picks (Bristol)

Welcome to TimersSports

Fantasy Nascar Picks -

Driver Group -

A:

Start - Kyle Larson

Bench - Kyle Busch

Reasons - The best drivers in the field starts 1st and 3rd. They both have the same first name, too. Who is the best choice this weekend? Kyle Busch or Kyle Larson? You cannot go wrong with either one. Personally, I am picking Kyle Busch to win. But if you are looking to gain ground on the competition, then Larson is the clear choice here. A lot of people will not have Larson on their roster in the driver group game and that make things pretty simple.

B:

Start - Ryan Blaney, Aric Almirola

Bench - Erik Jones and Clint Bowyer

Reasons -  Tough decisions this weekend. I am heavily leaning towards Blaney and Almirola though. I like both of them. Blaney seems to be pretty good and I believe in him. Just a really good gut feeling about him. Almirola loves Bristol. He has said both in his RPM days that Bristol is his favorite track.

Jones looked strong on Friday, but I will save him for the 1.5 mile tracks in the playoffs. As for Bowyer, I am going along the same lines as well.

C:

Start - David Ragan

Bench - Michael McDowell

Reasons - Ragan is super underrated and there is no way you cannot use him at one of his better tracks. He is very good at places like Bristol. He might sniff a top 20 in the race, imo.

Bowman could be something, and same thing with Byron. However, I am not risking them at this track. I will save them for another week.

Dark Horse - Ryan Blaney

Winner - Kyle Busch

2018 Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Michigan)

Welcome to TimersSports

RaceDay Thoughts -

Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans18):

- Denny Hamlin is coming on strong as we approach the playoffs. What did I tell you in the off-season?

- Harvick and Bowyer look strong out of the SHR stable. They finished 1-2 in June

-Elliott does not look as strong as everyone was expecting him to

-I am high on Daniel Suarez, despite starting dead last

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

- Kyle Larson will be a big factor today. He looked solid in practice

- Kevin Harvick in my eyes is the odds-on favorite to win

- I am not high on Martin Truex Jr today

-Erik Jones could have a huge day

Driver Group Game lineup -

Jeff's lineup - 4,14,20,88

Garry's lineup - 18,14,12,24

Dark Horse -

Jeff's Pick - Ryan Blaney

Garry's Pick - Erik Jones

Winner -

Jeff's Pick - Kevin Harvick

Garry's Pick - Kevin Harvick

2018 Fantasy Nascar Picks (Michigan)

Welcome to TimersSports

Fantasy Nascar Picks -

Driver Group Game -

A:

Start - Kyle Busch

Bench - Martin Truex Jr

Reasons - Well my mistake probably was leaving off Kevin Harvick. I knew it was a bad idea and I did anyways. I don't believe, it is a huge deal in this grouping tier with guys like Truex Jr and Busch, but I still believe that Harvick is the odds-on favorite. I think Kyle Larson is another great choice as well. I believe Kyle Busch will be top 5 good when it all said and done, but I don't have a good feeling about Martin Truex Jr this weekend. I just don't!

B:

Start - Clint Bowyer and Ryan Blaney

Bench - Chase Elliott and Aric Almirola

Reasons - I planned to use Almiorla and Bowyer this week and save the likes of Blaney and Elliott, but I think Blaney is too good to bench. He has shown top 5 speed this weekend and Michigan seems to be one of his favorite tracks. However, I do wish I had Erik Jones this weekend. He looks like a legit threat for the win. I had him on my roster but switched him out late Thursday. Isn't that how it goes?

I like, but don't love Chase Elliott this weekend. He qualifies deeper than I liked and has shown at best that he is a top 10 guy. Kurt Busch is another driver that I think was a bit overhyped this weekend. He's pretty decent, but his two teammates are much better than he is, in my opinion.

C:

Start - William Byron

Bench - Alex Bowman

Reasons - I am going with Byron because I have more starts with Byron than Bowman, but either way I don't think that there is a huge difference. In the event, I am expecting them to be within a few spots of each other for most of the race. If starts didn't matter, I would give the slight edge to Bowman though.

Dark Horse - Erik Jones

Winner - Kevin Harvick
