Welcome to TimersSports
Notes-
A:
Kevin Harvick - Harvick looked like the top guy in A. Fast in race trim and stout on long run. Posted a sick qual trim lap in practice one. He was one of my sleepers heading into Friday. He didn't disappoint. If Harvick starts up front use him. If not , save him for Michigan.
Kyle Busch - Busch was pretty good. Not sure if he looked winning potential , but still good enough to be top 5. Him and Gordon were pretty darn close overall. I like Busch over Gordon because of starts.
Jeff Gordon - Gordon was pretty good. Difficult to say who deserves the second spot though.Thought Gordon was among the best two or three based on long run speed. Wasn't quite as good on a short run though.
Clint Bowyer - Bowyer was okay. But not what I was quite expecting. He was around 8th best in practice. There are better choices in A. Probably wouldn't consider anyone outside the three listed above.
B:
Brad Keselowski: Keselowski was awful strong in both sessions. His lap times in race trim were off the charts. He made some of the guys in qual trim look slow. I was impressed. Also Brad K was excellent in qual trim.
Aj Dinger: The Dinger looked pretty good overall. Posted consistent lap times. Probably have a top 10 car , with top 5 upside. I absolutely love Dinger as a sleeper. Don't sleep on this guy.
Joey Logano: Logano was solid. He could definitely be a contender when it all said and done. Didn't see him in race trim much (wasn't paying attention to him either). But I know he posted a blistering fast qual trim lap.
Marcos Ambrose - To be honest , I thought he was a bit off which was a bit surprising to me. He wasn't horrible. But not what I am used to from Marcos. Luckily he was stout during qual trim. Should be able contend for the pole without much issues.
Martin Truex Jr: Truex was not very good. Thought he struggled for the most part. There are better choices to use in my opinion.
C:
Austin Dillon - Dillon was pretty good overall. Wouldn't start him ,unless you have 7 plus starts left. Dillon offers up the best possible finish with a safety net alongside.
Kyle Larson - Larson was okay I guess. He is still trying to learn Watkins. Give him three days and he will definitely have Watkins figured out. For now , he doesn't bring enough upside to be considered. Especially with some good tracks coming up.
Best of the best C -list : McDowell was probably the best. Thought he much better then anyone else. Alliager wasn't bad, not someone I overly trust though. Danica starts dead last and in a backup. Do I need to say anymore? Don't think so either. Boris Said..well he being Boris Said.
