Welcome to TimersSports
A few years ago, I would stay up to 2 or 3 in the morning and working my fantasy nascar articles. So far this season, I been going to sleep at 7 or 8 at night and waking up at 4 in the morning to work on them! Not gonna lie, I am not looking forward this race at Las Vegas. Mainly because there's so many unknowns with this new package. And after qualifying, I am over here scratching my head! As for practice, I am not really taking what we seen seriously as what we should expect in the actual race. If you think you know what to expect, then you are simply lying to yourself!
Sleepers -
Ryan Newman - Newman qualified way back in the 29th position, because of that screwball qualifying session on Friday! He's much better than that, if it wasn't already obvious. In 2018, he had a pair of top 11 finishes. In his last 9 races (since 2011), he has posted 7 finishes of 13th or better. As I mentioned, he will start from the 29th position. In his last 4 races (not including today's race), he has started 21st or worse. In those 4 races, he has finished 13th or better in 3 of those races. Newman just consistency get the job done and that is the really the only that truly matters!
Chris Buescher - Buscher is one of the more underrated drivers in the field, in my personal opinion! He doesn't run up front, but he usually runs better than most people think he does, though. Most weekends, he is just inside the top 20 or just outside of that. More times than not, he will outrun drivers in similar equipment. At Las Vegas, he has been above average over the last few seasons. In his last three races (from most recent): 15th, 15th and 23rd. I don't personally think he will make three straight top 15 finishes here, but I do believe he will finish inside the top 20. He's good enough to finish between 17th-21st!
Dark Horse -
Ryan Blaney - Blaney will start from the 13th position in today's race, but I think he's much better than that. He's a legit top 10 driver in the race. I had always considered Vegas as Ryan's best intermediate track and maybe his best track overall, too! In his last four races here, he has not finished worse than 7th in a race. In 2018, he had a pair of 5th place finishes at Vegas! This weekend, he has liked his car overall. The #12 seems pretty happy with how the car did on Saturday. I liked their comments and even the guys in the booth had some positive things to say about the #12 car.
