2017 Fantasy Nascar Sleepers & Dark Horses (Pocono)

Welcome to TimersSports Sleepers - Ricky Stenhouse Jr - Ricky Stenhouse Jr has been a very consistent driver this season overall and keep netting good results in the middle-teens on a weekly basis. I also think that is why he isn't getting the respect that he deserves. He is so consistent every week in the top 15, but he also never really flashes anything super highlight reel, either. So yeah, his upside (as a fantasy pick) is limited overall. Still, it is hard to overlook him as a solid pick this weekend. He is flashing his usual speed (range) and been consistent on this type of track. Actually, I was kinda surprise with his results on the large flats lately, when I did research on him last week. These large flats use to be a troublesome for him, earlier in his career. Not anymore! In 4 of his last 5 races (at Pocono and Indy), he's finished 18th or better. Last week, it was his first finish worse than 18th at either track since 2015. He was running well last weekend at Indy a...

2017 Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Pocono)

Welcome to TimersSports RaceDay Thoughts - Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans18): - Kyle Busch is the man to beat today. He is starting on the pole for the third time this season on this type of track. Previous two times, he led the most laps -Truex Jr has the second-best car to Busch and he will start second. Repeat of last weekend, hopefully minus the wreck though -Kyle Larson is starting back in mid-pack (16th), but he should be fast in the race -Jamie Mac is a guy to watch. He has been fast the past couple weekends Matt Aleza (@MattAleza): -Busch and Truex Jr are the drivers to beat in today's race -Kahne has been pretty good this weekend. Pretty good racecar overall -Blaney may have the best Ford for today's race. He will start 5th and have looked great since unloading -Track position will be key Yahoo lineups - Jeff's lineup - 18,21,1,19 Matt's lineup - 18,21,31,19 Dark Horse - Jeff's Pick - Ryan Blaney Matt's Pick - Kasey Kahne Winner - Jeff's Pick - Kyle Bus...

2017 Fantasy Nascar Picks (Pocono)

Welcome to TimersSports Fantasy Nascar Picks - Yahoo - A: Start - Kyle Busch (4) Bench - Kevin Harvick (8) Reasons -I am down to 4 starts with Kyle Busch, but you bet I am starting him though. He is starting on the pole and he could easly go to victory lane. Harvick is tugging at me, since he is starting 6th and will only finish a couple spots behind him (most likely). Other good choices are Truex Jr (obviously), Hamlin and Kenseth. B: Start - Chase Elliott (7), Clint Bowyer (5) Bench - Kyle Larson (6), Ryan Newman (6) Reasons - Headed into qualifying, I was leaning heavily toward Elliott and Bowyer. After qualifying, nothing has really changed for me overall. Elliott may not be a top 5 pick right now, but he is a driver that typically improves throughout the race. So I will take him over Larson or Newman. It more so Elliott vs Newman. And honestly, i am down with the big dog here because Newman has limited upside. I want a driver that can contend for a top 10 finish and more. I mean, ...

2017 Fantasy Nascar Update (Pocono)

Welcome to TimersSports Honestly, this schedule at Pocono kinda pisses me off! I know for most of you, it doesn't really matter. But for us hardcore fantasy nascar people, it is really a punch to the gut. Qualifying at 11 am and race at 3? Really? Are you serious? Qualifying won't end until like 1 pm. Maybe little after 12, if we are lucky. At best, we are getting 3 hours between qualifying and the race. I am sorry, but that just not enough of time. Especially not for us writers, who need a hour or two to write up a ''solid'' analyze of the weekend. You just cannot take 15 or 20 minutes and slap together a half-ass article. You have look at practice data, look up numbers, determine how qualifying results have a impact, etc. Usually, we get to see practice and qualifying on Friday and Saturday. Not this week though. And honestly, I am not going to try to throw together an article, just a few hours before the race. The final hour before the race is usually the par...

2017 Fantasy Nascar Preview (Pocono)

Welcome to TimersSports Fantasy Nascar Preview - 1-JMac: Jamie is having a very good season, but he is declining as we enter second half of the season a little. Early on, he was very consistent with top 10 and top 12 finishes. Now, he is starting to go outside of that range more. In his past 9 races this season, Jamie has only three single digit finishes. While three of his last four finishes ended in 14th or worse. I think some of it has to do with bad luck, but I also it is unavoidable to see a decline in production for a driver like Jamie. Even with the improvement of CGR, he isn't good enough of a driver to be a consistent top 5 or top 7 threat. Earlier this season, he finished 37th at Pocono. But he was better than that though. If you are looking for a comparable track then look at Indy. He was good last week, I would say somewhere between 5th-8th for the race. Strong early, but his car went away and was somewhere in back-half of the top 10. If he didn't get involved in th...

2017 Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (Indy)

Welcome to TimersSports Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans18): - Kyle Busch will be tough to beat from the pole - The Gibbs cars look good again - Track position will be key and passing will be tough like always -Ford will be better than they practiced Matt Aleza (@MattAleza): - Kyle Larson's spotter on twitter said he think they will be good on the long runs -Newman looks better than the past couple weeks - I like SHR more than most people. I think all three finishes in the top 12. Call me a optimist -My dark horse is Erik Jones Yahoo lineups - Jeff's lineup - 78,1,21,77 Matt's lineup - 18,1,31,77 Dark Horse - Jeff's pick - Erik Jones Matt's pick - Erik Jones Winner - Jeff's pick - Kyle Busch Matt's pick - Kyle Busch

2017 Fantasy Nascar Picks (Indy)

Welcome to TimersSports Making fantasy nascar picks always seems to come down one or two late race-time decisions, doesn't it? You know exactly what I am talking about. You have two options, but only one roster spot. You go back and forth, but you cannot decide. Your gut tells you one thing, but your head knows the odds aren't in your favor for the gamble to pay off. Last week at New Hampshire that is exactly what happened with to me in Yahoo Fantasy Racing. It was between Erik Jones and Ty Dillon. My gut told me Jones was a bad play, but my head knew Dillon struggled all weekend. Right before race-time, I took the gamble of starting Ty Dillon. 40 laps into the race, Erik Jones wrecks. When things like that happen, it makes you feel like you are on top of the world. Sometimes, you get pure lucky on those type of things. That exactly what happened at New Hampshire. So how about for this weekend at Indy? Well that put it like this, it is a unique racetrack overall. The only track...

2017 Fantasy Nascar RaceDay Thoughts (New Hampshire)

Welcome to TimersSports RaceDay Thoughts - Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans18): - I am having a lot of fun at New Hampshire this weekend. I am very excited for the race -Track position will be key -RCR is still off and it is starting to look like a trend for this organization. Not good and I wouldn't recommend any of them right now. Not unless you have to -Truex Jr and Busch are the ones to beat once again Garry Briggs (@Garryy12): - Truex Jr, Kyle Busch, Hamlin and Kenseth are the drivers to beat. JGR is poised to breakout -Can Kyle Larson come from the back again? It will be interesting to find out. He wasn't super happy with his car on the long runs in final practice -Ryan Blaney is interesting play. He is starting 15th and should challenge for a top 10 finish. -Ricky Stenhouse Jr is a good under the radar pick, if you are looking for one Yahoo lineups - Jeff's lineup - 20,24,21,19 Garry's lineup - 78,1,17,77 Sleeper - Jeff's Pick - Ricky Stenhouse Jr Garry's Pick ...

2017 Fantasy Nascar Picks (New Hampshire)

Welcome to TimersSports Fantasy Nascar Picks - Yahoo - A - Start - Martin Truex Jr (5) Bench - Kyle Busch (5) Reasons -Late Thursday night, I decided to go with a change in my lineup. Hamlin was  great choice, but it didn't make much sense to use Hamlin. As Truex Jr is the hottest driver in the series and dominated last year. Good thing I did that as Truex Jr is looking like he could dominate again. Especially with Larson starting deep in the field. Not to say there aren't some fast cars starting up front though. Truex Jr just better than all of them. B - Start - Jamie Mac (4) and Ricky Stenhouse Jr (7) Bench - Clint Bowyer (5) and Ryan Newman (6) Reasons -I made one change in this grouping tier on Thursday night and that was Jamie Mac in for Kurt Busch. Looking back on it, I probably should had kept Busch on here and swapped out Ryan Newman. As the RCR cars keep looking slow. But I didn't. So I am going with Jamie Mac as my obvious starter. Then it down to Bowyer or Stenho...

2017 Fantasy Nascar Update (New Hampshire)

Welcome to TimersSports Pretty big weekend here on this site, as we prepare to get ready for New Hampshire! Personally, it will be a very busy one. As your truly (Garry Briggs) will be covering everything Fantasy Nascar realated. Including Fantasy Nascar Update, Picks, Final Rankings and Sleepers. As both Matt and Jeff will be out of town. It's not very often, I get to the run the whole show, so this should be a lot of fun. More than enough work to keep me busy! As for New Hampshire, itself, I think it will be very interesting on Sunday afternoon compared to recent races here. As usual, track position will be key. Remember, this is a very short race (shortest of the season) and track position is key. I don't know if there is another track where it is more important. It's so tough to pass here at this 1-mile flat track. I don't think starting in the back is a complete killer, but your day is so much tougher. Especially, if you don't have a great car. 1.
