2020 Fantasy Nascar Sleepers & Dark Horses (PHX)

Welcome to Timerssports

Fantasy Nascar Sleepers & Dark Horses -

Sleeper -

Ty Dillon - Ty Dillon is an interesting driver to look at as a sleeper this weekend at Phoenix! The No.13 team has knack in general to run well at this racetrack for some reason. They ran well with Casey Mears when he was racing and they have ran well with Ty Dillon. This weekend, I like him a lot. Ty Dillon sounded confident before qualifying that they are gonna have a solid run. He qualified 25th, but he is one of the drivers that I think will move through the field.

Matt DiBenedetto - Matt finished 2nd, two weeks ago at Las Vegas and that got a lot of people excited. It didn't fool me, as I knew on most weekends that he's a 10th to 15th place driver. I went on a limb (not really) and predicted that for him at Auto Club in last week's race. He ended up 13th! With that said, I think he is someone who could challenge for back-end top 10 finish this weekend. I think these are the kind of tracks where he is gonna be able to shine some. He wasn't bad with the No.95 car on these shorter flats, either. He is starting from the 9th position on Sunday here at Phoenix!

Dark Horses -

Aric Almirola - I am still a little upset that Aric made me look like a fool a few weeks ago at Las Vegas, but to be fair everything pointed to him being a great dark horse pick! Things lined up the same way last week and he ended up in the top 10. So one week, he finished outside of the top 20 and the next he finished in the top 10. Hopefully, he can finish in the top 10 this weekend. I think these shorter flats are where the No.10 car will be under the radar on. However, he's very good here and I am loving the speed out of his car. Aric seems pretty happy with it, as he tweeted that he has a rocket!  I am telling you guys to watch out for that No.10 car!

Alex Bowman - After last week's race win, it is tough to say that Alex is a dark horse. But at the same thing, does anyone really view him as a contender here at Phoenix? I strongly doubt it and that exactly why he is getting this label. He wasn't great when they first hit the track, but sounds like the No.88 has made some great changes to that car. If he make a few more, I think he could be a threat. I believe Alex will be better on those intermediate tracks, but I really like him to be a sneaky good fantasy pick this weekend!
