2018 Fantasy Nascar Sleepers & Dark Horses (Homestead)

Welcome to TimersSports

Sleepers -

Ricky Stenhouse Jr - Stenhouse Jr has been a very solid driver on 1.5 mile tracks in 2018. In fact, I would call him one of the most underrated drivers on 1.5 mile intermediate tracks this season. On the season, he has held 18.3 average finish with 18.1 average running position. Of course, he has had some poor runs in that span, that wasn't his fault, too though. If you take out the first Texas and Las Vegas' races, he holds 15.7 average finish with 86% of those races ending in the top 20. That's pretty good. Now, it isn't great or anything. But it is certainly better than what most people will give him credit for.

Jamie Mac - Well this could very well be Jamie's last race ever at the Cup level, as he was told earlier this season that he would not be back in 2019. In the team's previous, it said this could be his final career start. I will admit, I have been tough on Jamie certain seasons. And other seasons, I shown him a lot of love. This season, I haven't shown him any love at all. Mainly because there wasn't anything to really talk about on Jamie. He hasn't really perform that well over the past couple seasons. He might not be a bad choice this weekend, but honestly I am just throwing him on for old time sake. I say he's a top 15 finisher at best for this weekend. But he might surprise us with a top 10, but that may be asking for too much though.

Dark Horses -

Kyle Larson - Larson should really be viewed as a favorite, but Larson isn't getting enough attention. This is mainly to do with that Larson's isn't involved in the championship 4. If he was involved in the championship 4, I think he would be the odds-on favorite to win. No driver runs the top better than Kyle Larson. If we get a lot of long green flag runs, that No.42 car will be leading often. Of course, this is if his team keep up the changes on his car, too. But I love Kyle's chances of possibly winning at Homestead!

Erik Jones - I love how Erik Jones has ran this season overall. He has ran very well during the playoffs, aside from that piss poor start in the first round. Last week was obviously a disappointment, too. But I have no doubt that he can rebound at Homestead this weekend! He has been awesome on 1.5 mile tracks in 2018. If you exclude the Las Vegas' race (he finished 40th), he has compiled 7.8 average finish and 10.3 average running position. Both of those numbers are very good! For comparison on his average finish, only teammate Kyle Busch has a better average finish of 7.8 in those 8 races. Erik Jones has displayed really good speed this weekend!

Well that's it for 2018 Fantasy Nascar Articles! I hope everyone has gotten something from our cotent this season. If not, I am sorry about that. I don't care about how many people read this blog or what people think of it. I just really enjoy writing it up every week (or at least trying to) and that what it is about for me!
