2020 Fantasy Nascar Quality Picks (Indy)

Welcome to Timerssports

When we started to get back to racing, I said this website would be trying out new articles on a weekly basis. And I am trying to hold myself to that promise. So I am bringing you guys a new article for the second straight week now! Why is it titled, ''Quality Picks''? Great question. It will simply be a post that outlines some quality fantasy picks for the weekend. Not race-winning pick and maybe not even top 10 drivers. With that said, I will try to avoid major drivers and drivers whom I already mentioned in an article this weekend. As I am trying to spread the love around.

Alright everybody, I would like to wish you a Happy 4th of July and happy raceweekend! And now we are gonna get into today's content!

Lets get rolling!

Quality Picks -

Austin Dillon - I by no means love Austin Dillon this weekend at Indy, but I do like him a little bit. And he won't get any respect of any nature, either. I personally think that's unfair because he typically runs better than he ever get credit for. In his last 9 races, he has finished six times in 14th or better. Raise your hand if knew that? I thought so. And one of those non-top 14 finishes were Talladega and the other one was at Martinsville. He also finished 14th on Sunday's afternoon at Pocono. He's nothing special, but he is far better than most people would think.

Matt  DiBenedetto - I mentioned DiBenedetto a lot in recent weeks. including in my Sleepers & Dark Horses post. So there should be no shock that I am pretty high on the No.21 car this weekend at Indy. There's a lot of reasons to have high hopes for this team this weekend. In 10 of 15 races this season, the No.21 car has finished in the top 15. He has only a few top 10 finishes to his name, but that number should only grow as the season goes on. I believe this team hasn't peaked yet and they could be better as we get towards the Nascar playoffs.

Chris Buescher - Like I mentioned at the start, I am going to try to avoid mentioning major drivers or drivers I wrote about this weekend. So while I like guys like Byron, Almirola and Bowyer more than some of these drivers on this article (I mentioned those three drivers in my sleepers & dark horses' post), I am doing my best to not put them on here. Buescher has a pretty good record here at Indy. In four career starts, he has finished three times in the top 15. In his first start back with the #34 team (Front Row Racing), he ended up 14th. It was a sign of good things to come. In his last three starts with the #37 team, he had two top 15 finishes. In those races, he ended up 15th and 9th. I would like to note that his 9th place finish in 2017 is misleading as a lot of cars wrecked out at the end. Still he has a good record here, regardless. And to make him even appealing fantasy option? He finished 10th in the first Pocono's race and was running well in the second race until things went south for him.
