Welcome to Timerssports
It's one o'clock in the morning and I am writing up fantasy nascar articles! I will be making the transition to 3rd shift in my regular job, so hopefully over the next couple months will open up more chances to write up articles. Because being honest, I am the only writer currently do any sort of writing for this website. As Matt has decided to take some time off and Jeff is usually pretty busy with things going on in his life. So yeah, some weeks there just isn't any time to write up any content. I know some of you are disappointed by that and I feel you. I am trying my best to get out content. However, at the same time, I am trying to balance out my life, too. Doing this thing for free is so difficult sometimes. So please be patient with me over the next couple months, as we close the 2018 season out. Next year, hopefully we can get ahead of the game and get content wrote up in advance.
Anyways, enough about that stuff. You are here to read about Darlington, right? Well then, let's not waste any more time! Let's get rolling!
Dark horses -
Chase Elliott - Elliott has been running so well of late, it is kinda hard to view him as a dark horse but that what he is, in my opinion. Definition of a dark horse is someone who isn't expected to win, but not shocked if they pull it off. That fits Elliott to a tee honestly. Nobody is expecting him to win, but at the same time it would be a shocker if he wasn't in the top 5 at some point in the event. And there is no reason why he cannot challenge for the win, either. He qualified very well and maybe no team in the garage has more momentum than the 9 team. He has a career-best of 10th place at Darlington in two career starts. I think he will have a new career-best finish on Sunday night. I am also higher on the chevy bunch more so than a lot of people though.
Erik Jones - I think Jones surprised a lot of people a few weeks ago, when he struggled as much as he did at Bristol. I had a gut feeling that he would have a tough night at Bristol, one of the reasons I decided to avoid him in my fantasy nascar lineups. However, this weekend, I have a much better feeling about him. He may not go to victory lane or anything, but I think he is due to rebound from that Bristol's race. I think you need to have a solid equipment and the right skillset to be competitive here, not just anyone can run well here. Erik Jones finished 5th in his lone career race here. He may have issues backing it up, but the potential is what I love. Anytime that Jones steps into the No.20 car, he has a shot at contending for a top 5 finish. He does not always back it up in the race, but fantasy nascar is about potential. We base our fantasy picks on that, right? You are damn right!
Sleepers -
Alex Bowman - I love the speed that Alex Bowman is showing this weekend at Darlington. He and the 88 team has been really good the past couple race weekends on the speed charts. He is not getting the results, but you can flashes on the progress that they are making. Even if he does not live up to the speed that he shown in practice and qualifying, I still think he is worth the risk. When you see a guy being good as Bowman has looked this weekend, I think you have to gamble on him. Guys in the teens, usually aren't near top of the speed charts. Realistically, I think he finishes somewhere 13th and 16th though.
Matt Kenseth - Old Matt Kenseth is looking decent this weekend. He is finding his groove in the 6 car, I think. In 5 of his last 7 races, he has finished 19th or better. He qualified pretty decent inside the top 20 on Saturday afternoon and has looked good all weekend. He is not gonna challenge for a top 10 finish or anything, but I think he will be a solid option to be somewhere in the mid to high teens. So 15th through like 18th place is probably a good bet for the No.6 car. Even his team keeps up with the changes, I could see him a little closer to the top 10. His experience at Darlington will most likely come in handy, too.
