Welcome to Timerssports
Sleepers -
Corey LaJoie - Since joining the #32 team, LaJoie has not finished worse than 19th in a race at either Daytona or Talladega! Of course, last season was his first season with the #32 team, so the data is limited but very promising so far. He has really molded himself into a solid finisher at both racetracks and the #32 team has always been pretty solid in finishing at these tracks. In two starts at Talladega in 2019, he had finished of 11th and 7th. He could easily be due for a bad finish with the #32 team, but I am banking on another good finish out of him.
Chris Buescher - Buescher, I think could be one of the more sneaky picks in today's race at Talladega. He has been trended in the right way at both superspeedway tracks, but not enough for anyone to really take notice of him. He has wrecked in his past two races at Talladega, but he finished 20th last spring's race here. However, he has finished 4 of the last 6 races in the top 20 at Talladega. And has finished 5 o those 6 races in the top 21. However, he has finished 4 of his last 8 races on this type of track in the top 11! Yes, you read that correctly! Digging deeper into the numbers, he has finished 8 of his last 12 races on this type of track in 17th or better!
Dark Horeses -
Aric Almirola - Almirola is a legit dark horse pick here at Talladega and he has been really strong of late and among the best in the series right now! In 7 straight races at Talladega, he has finished in 9th or better. This is dating back to his last three races at RPM in the 2016 season! He is quickly becoming one of the best drivers in the series here at Talladega. For some reason, he is a lot better here at Talladega than Daytona. Even though, he has 3 top 11 finishes in his last 6 races and 5 top 15 in his last 8 races at Daytona. In general, I think he's a vastly underrated driver in this series and the numbers say that he might have his best shot to win in 2020 at Talladega.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr - I remember when Stenhouse Jr first busted on the cup screne back in 2013, he was freshed off his championship runs in the then Nationwide series. In those first couple years in cup, he showed that he could be a really good drafter. It took him awhile to become an elite plate racer, but many considers him among the best in the series. Problem is? He is way too aggressive and someone get him and other into trouble. He is the true wildcard of the weekend. He will likely take the lead at some point and he will likely make us say, ''Holy crap'', too. If Ricky Stenhouse Jr goes to victory lane in 2020, I think he has 3 legit chances left. And one of them will come in today's race at Talladega!
