2018 Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Pocono)

Welcome to Timerssports

Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts -

Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans18):

- There are a lot of very fast cars starting in the back. How could the start go wrong?

- I really like Erik Jones today

-I am not very high on Ryan Blaney. I think he will be a disappointment

- Track position will be key

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

- Daniel Suarez will not last long up front. By half way point, I expect him to be somewhere in the teens. I haven't been that impressed with him this season. I doubt that changes in today's race

- Kevin Harvick had the car to beat all day on Saturday. Will be interesting to see how long it takes him to get into the top 5

- Ryan Newman should be a solid choice for today's race. He is coming off one of his best finishes of the season and loves Pocono

- I think we are in for a shit show, my friends. Enjoy!

2018 Fantasy Nascar Picks (Pocono)

Welcome to TimersSports

Fantasy Nascar Picks -

Driver Group Game -

A:

Starter - Kevin Harvick

Bench - Martin Truex Jr

Reasons - Harvick has a rocket and I expect him to go to the front very quickly. He had the best car on Saturday and I think he is still gonna win. This is one of best tracks since joining SHR. I say this is best track of the remaining tracks until the playoffs' cutoff. I also would say this is best track that he haven't won on yet. That is shocking with how dominant he has been at times over the last 4 years here.

B:

Start - Erik Jones and Chase Elliott

Bench - Aric Almirola and Ryan Blaney

Reasons - The plan was to start Erik Jones/Chase Elliott with Aric Almirola. Well, Aric haven't looked that impressive to me yet and he is starting deep in the field now. Erik Jones is looking really good. His CC said that they have 5th to 8th place car. And Chase Elliott has a great record here and looking pretty good overall. I need to start unloading my starts with him. I am planning to use on here and another at Michigan before the playoffs.

C:

Start - Chris Buescher

Bench - William Byron

Reasons - I am going with Buescher this week because I know how tough this place can be. I am not super confident in Byron honestly. He ran good earlier this season here, but only nothing overly special though. Top 20 was where he finished. Buescher, on the other hand is a lot less valuable and has ran well here. Not to mention, Byron will be starting deep in the field now. I am saving the 24 for the intermediate tracks coming up.

Dark Horse - Erik Jones

Winner - Kevin Harvick

Welcome to TimersSports

RaceDay Thoughts -

Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans18):

- The big three will be tough to beat

- I love the Toyota cars today

- Track position will be key

- Penske as a whole looking solid

Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):

- Paul Menard is someone to watch out for

- I am not big on CGR overall

- I love Ryan Blaney for today's race

- Denny Hamlin will be someone you have to deal with. He's looking strong this weekend

2018 Fantasy Nascar Picks (New Hampshire)

Welcome to TimersSports

Fantasy Nascar Picks -

Driver Group Game -

A:

Start - Kyle Busch

Bench - Martin Truex Jr

Reasons - The best two drivers in this grouping and the field are Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. With Harvick very close behind them. I do believe that we will see a Toyota in victory lane, so I am going with Kyle Busch as my starter. Even though, I love Truex Jr a lot too. It comes down to that no driver in the field has been better than Busch over the last few years (except Matt Kenseth)!

B:

Start - Kurt Busch, Ryan Blaney

Bench - Erik Jones, Chase Elliott

Reasons - If I had to choose two drivers in B this week, I would go with Kurt Busch and Ryan Blaney as my starters. That exact who I have as options. Kurt is on the pole and Blaney looks very good. Honestly it is a easy decision for me. Erik Jones will be good, but I want to save him for the 1.5 mile tracks. And Elliott, I will fill his starts in as I go.

C:

Start - Chris Buescher

Bench - Darrell Wallace Jr

Reasons - I need to use someone other than Alex Bowman or William Byron, so I went with Buescher and Wallace Jr. Truth be told, I am thinking that I might eliminate my Darrell Wallace Jr's starts for rest of the year. Buescher is running better than him on the season. And I have six starts left with each drivers. It is something to think about in the upcoming races.

Dark Horse - Ryan Blaney

Winner - Kyle Busch
