Welcome to Timerssports
Pocono wasn't the most exciting weekend of racing, but we ended up getting all the laps in. I am not gonna lie, I actually took a short nap on Sunday during the rain delay. It was around 5:30 pm or so and I thought to myself, ''Well if they say maybe 7 pm, then I am gonna take a quick power nap!'' Well I wake up around 6:10 or whatever and there's racing on my tv. I was pretty surprised to say the least! Haha anyways other than that my fantasy picks were all pretty spot on.
And now we get to head to my hometrack at Indianapolis Motor Speedway! This is not one of my favorite tracks, but it will be nice to get the large flat racetracks out of the way for the 2020 season! I will depend on last weekend's results, 2020 season results and past data to make my fantasy picks. I also recommend checking out Jeff's Fantasy Nascar Update! He did an awesome job with that I thought as usual!
Let's get started!
Sleepers -
William Byron - I really liked him last weekend, I even wrote about him on both days prior to the race. In the first race, he kinda disappointed me. However, he made me proud in the second race and finished in the top 10. So can he have another good day at Indianapolis? I certainly think so! He did finished 4th in last season's race here and had a few good runs this season, too. More times than not this season, I have thought that William shown some speed. Some weekends, it's not good enough. And others, he is a top 10 driver. When you are picking Byron, I think your realistic outcome should be between 8th and 14th. That's the range where he could finish, if things don't go horribly wrong at some point in the event.
Matt DiBenedetto - DiBenedetto has been incredibly consistent in the top 15 this season and is coming off a near top 5 finish at Pocono on Sunday! He was top 10 good for most of the weekend, so that was no fluke. In 2019, he finished either 17th or 18th in the #95 car. If last week is any indication than, he should finish in the top 15 again. I also would like to point out that, Matt has only finished outside of the top 19 in 3 races this season. Two of those three races were at Talladega and Bristol. In 10 of 15 races this season, he has finished in the top 15. I bet Matt will finish in the top 15 again this weekend at Indy!
Dark Horses -
Clint Bowyer - I will give some love to Clint Bowyer after a pair of strong runs at Pocono. He finished in the top 10 in both races and comes to a underrated track. Over his last two starts at Indy, he has finished in the top 5. I would had never guessed that, but I am also not surprised. Bowyer is a really good flat track driver and has good records at all of them (regardless of size). But that not what getting me on the Bowyer's bandwagon this weekend! Over his last 6 races (exlcuding the Talladega's race), he has finished 11th or better in 4 of those races. He also has a 17th and 20th at Atlanta and Bristol. Oh and at Atlanta, he led 58 laps to a misleading finish. Yeah, he is starting to turn the corner as a fantasy option!
Aric Almirola - Aric Almirola would be my prefered dark horse pick this weekend! He has put together 4 straight top 5 finishes now and could make it 5 straight on Sunday's afternoon! I think Aric will finish in the top 10, but it's a great time to use Aric in your fantasy games. What's the old saying in the fantasy racing community? Something like, ''Use them, while they are hot''. Yeah folks, he's hot and it's time to squeeze every ounce of value out of him. I am sure some of you whom play season long games are like, ''why not save him for later in the season, if he keep running well?'' There's no promises in fantasy racing! If a driver is on a hot streak, then you should take advantage of it.
