Welcome to TimersSports
Sleepers -
Matt Dibenedetto - I know a lot of people are super high on Matt this season, but I am not one of those people. I am sure he will do fine job with the No.21 car, but I don't see him winning any races. Sure, he finished 2nd last week, but his in-race numbers say he was between a 10th to 15th place driver. That where I see him performancing most weeks and that's respectable! There's no shame in that, my friends. This weekend, realistically he will probably be in that same range! If you are looking for a good teen finish, then Matt just might be your guy!
William Byron - Byron showed a lot of speed last weekend at Las Vegas and I was very high on him. At times, he showed some amazing promise during the race. I thought he was gonna finish in the top 5, until he wrecked on the final lap of the race. I knew someone was gonna get wrecked, the question was who. Well, William was sadly on the wrong end of it! This weekend, he has been alright. I don't think he has the speed of his teammates, but he is someone I would take a risk on. I think he's someone that has slipped really under the radar this weekend. And I do 100% understand why he has and his qualifying effort probably don't help his case. But I like him a lot more than most, with that said he was my of the guys I have high hopes this season. So I suppose I have extra reasons to be hoping for a favorable outcome. Either way, I am pretty excited to see how this kid does over the next 4 to 6 races!
Dark Horses -
Alex Bowman - You could debate that Bowman might be a favorite this weekend, but I view him as a dark horse. We don't expect him to win, but he very well could. A lot of people are afraid of that 88 car in the garage and Alex sounded pretty confident, too. He has been on a roll on these intermeidate tracks in general, dating back to end of last season. Some people thought last week was a fluke and it really wasn't. His success on this type of track at end of last season was something that made me excited about him last week and makes me even more excited for Sunday's race.
Ryan Blaney - Man, I really wanted to put Clint Bowyer in this spot because he's starting on the pole! He also performed really well last season on these worn out intermeidate tracks (as Jeff noted his Update), but I loved what I saw out of Ryan Blaney in practice. He was someone that caught my eye with the speed he was displaying. In final practice, he was among the top 4 in best 5,10,15 and 20 lap averages. Blaney also has ran really well here over the past couple seasons, too. There's just a lot to like about him. The one thing I don't like about him? His qualiying effort! I was very suprise, espeically after he had such strong pair of practices on Friday. He will roll off from the 16th starting position!
