Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Daytona)

Welcome to TimersSports

Happy Raceday. Setting your fantasy team can be difficult , especially with everything being factored in. Below our group of analysis give their thoughts on today race (Including their final
picks).

Kate Rosewell (@CrazyKateNascar):

- HMS vs JGR all day long will be the likely battle. Especially Denny Hamlin and Dale Jr. If someone going to win today, then I would be putting my money on one of them.

-Don't get too fancy with your lineups. Go with the drivers who tend to finish up front at Daytona. They will likely put themselves in a better position to avoid the big one. Even though no place is safe.

-Casey Mears is a legitimate sleeper in almost every fantasy format in today's event!

-I will have my eye on the pole sitter Chase Elliott. He was fast in practice, but will his inexperienced keep him from staying there?

Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans):

-I think an JGR car will find victory lane today. More specifically I think it will be Denny Hamlin.

-Austin Dillon will continue his strong success at Daytona in today's race. He have never finished worse than 14th (minus debut).

- I think Casey Mears will finish inside the top 10 again like he did last season. In fact, I am willing to beat that he makes one of the best value picks this weekend. He is being overlooked too much in my opinion.

- Greg Biffle is another guy I like as a fantasy pick. 4 straight Top 10 finishes at the Daytona 500. Could turn into another solid day for him. He looked pretty good based on speed. Just needs some luck.

Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):

-Dale Jr is the odd-on favorites in my mind. If anyone say otherwise, then they are just kidding them. After watching his duel, I am convinced that the 88 will return to victory lane again.

-If you can avoid the big one, then you will have an shot at the win or at very least an respectable finish.

-Don't get too crazy with your lineups. It okay to go a little risky, but don't go out into middle of nowhere with no safeboat to aid you.

-Stenhouse JR is someone who I think will surprise people. He have done well before at Daytona, so no reason to think he cannot do it again.
