Welcome to TimersSports RaceDay Thoughts - Jeff Nathans (@JeffNathans18): -Gibbs cars are still very strong -Kyle Busch will be fun coming from the back, but will it make it to the front? -The theme the past few years at Bristol has been pure craziness. I don't think it changes -I promised that Erik Jones would win in 2017 at some point, back in the offseason. Don't be shocked, if he makes good on my promise in tonight's race Matt Aleza (@MattAleza): - What's wrong with SHR? Harvick, more specifically, he qualified outside of the top 25. That's not very Harvick-like. -There's some fast cars starting up front. One of them is Chase Elliott. Watch out for the 24 car. His teammate is pretty good, too, in Kasey Kahne -Stenhouse Jr was very good in racetrim on Friday afternoon -Kyle Larson will be starting 2nd, he dominated Bristol earlier this season Yahoo Lineup - Jeff's lineup - 18,1,14,77 Matt's lineup - 11,1,21,77 Dark Horse - Jeff's Pick - Erik Jones...

Welcome to TimersSprots Fantasy Nascar Update - 1. Martin Truex Jr - Yeah, his teammate will be starting on the pole, but I have Truex Jr as my top guy this weekend. There's a lot of reasons for this, but simply put: Nobody has proven that they can beat Martin Truex Jr consistency. Not only that, but he had a pretty good car back in April and led 116 laps. I think, the 78 team is a lot better right now than they were than, too. He has speed once again this time around at Bristol and looked pretty good on the long run in practice on Friday. If you can find something to hate about him, other than his track record. Then I would love to hear it, but I am pretty much sold on him from the 6th starting spot. 2. Matt Kenseth - Look, if Kenseth is going to win in these final three races before the playoffs, then it is here at Bristol! He is a 4-time winner at this racetrack and he has a pretty damn good car, too. He will start from 5th and he was pretty happy about his racecar during final ...

Welcome to TimersSports Fantasy Nascar Preview - 1-JMac: JMac is coming off a solid Michigan race, where he ended up finishing 9th place. However, once again, he finished worse than than he started. In 10 of his last 12 races this season, JMac has finished worse than he started. Not good! But, it was good to see him finish in the top 10 again though. Bristol is next up for him and it has been a great track for him lately. In his last six cup races at Bristol, he has finished 14th or better in every single race. While finishing 14th or better in 7 of his last 9 at Bristol. Pretty good, wouldn't you agree? Earlier this season, he was pretty good and finished 12th. He was probably right around that area for the event. Maybe a little better, but overall he got the finish he deserved. I don't think Jamie offer much this weekend, other than his consistency in general. If you are considering using Jamie, it is because he is consistent this season (top 12 good usually) and his consiste...

Welcome to TimersSports RaceDay Thoughts - Garry Briggs (@Garryy12): -Penske looking good this weekend -I think Kyle Larson win three in the row at Michigan -Blaney will be top 5 or bust. Everything pointing to that, in my opinoin -Gibbs cars will be strong again this weekend, even if none of them are starting in the top 5. Matt Aleza (@MattAleza): -Track position will be key again as usual -There are a lot of young drivers that can challenge for the win today. Including Elliott, Blaney and Jones -The SHR cars will be better than people think. None of them has shown staggering speed on Saturday, but I think they will be better on raceday -Don't overlook Martin Truex Jr or rest of the Toyotas Yahoo lineups - Garry's lineup - 18,24,42,19 Matt's lineup - 18,24,1,19 Dark Horses - Garry's pick - Ryan Blaney Matt's pick - Ryan Blaney Winner - Garry's pick - Kyle Larson Matt's pick - Brad Keselowski 

Welcome to TimersSports Picks - Yahoo - Start - Kyle Busch Bench - Martin Truex Jr Reasons - Kyle Busch is hot right now and I am gonna use for Sunday's race. He may not have the dominant car, but he is capable of winning, in my opinion. Unless, you have the pole sitter, I don't think there are many better options this weekend than Kyle Busch. Truex Jr should be top 5 good, too. B: Start - Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott Bench - Ryan Blaney, Jamie Mac Reasons -This is a tough week for the B-list honestly. All four drivers can be top 10 guys and most likely will be based on what we seen so far. Larson is the top guy here, as he looks to be top 5 good and has won the past two races at Michigan. I been saving my starts with him during the summer months, but planned to use him here for awhile. May as well use him and get the points. So Elliott, Blaney or JMac? That's tough, but I am going with Elliott. He has a great track record and should be good enough to be a top 10 guy (or more...

Welcome to TimersSports Fantasy Nascar Update - 1. Brad Keselowski - Keselowski is looking strong this weekend. He will start on the pole and had a strong pair of practices on Saturday. I know a lot of places, the odds are against you to win from the pole, unless you have a dominant car. However, it is a huge advantage starting there at Michigan. It seems like starting on the pole here translate into big-time results. Earlier this season, June pole sitter, Kyle Larson went to victory lane from the pole. Last season, teammate Joey Logano went to victory lane from the pole. Not only that, but it seems like the Fords have a lot of speed this weekend. This is a home track for Mr. Keselowski and he wants to win here so bad. He has the car to do it, the track position (to start) and definitely the talent to do it. 2. Kyle Larson - Larson has struggled in weeks past, but Larson back to feeling himself this weekend. The 42 car back to near top of the board, that was missing for a few weeks. He...

Welcome to TimersSports RaceDay Thoughts - Garry Briggs (@Garryy12): - The Gibbs cars look fast again this weekend -Penske will be big factors today -Pit strategies will be key -Bowyer looked really good in practice -Kevin Harvick was really good on Saturday. Saturday night, his Crew Chief on twitter said they haven't made any changes on the car since unloading. He also added it drives really well, too. Matt Aleza (@MattAleza): -Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski are my favorites headed into the race -I think Logano needs to win today to make the chase or he may not make the playoffs. I think him winning today is a bigger issue than people want to realize. He is nearly 70 points off the cut-off right now -I like the SHR Fords today a lot. Harvick, Bowyer and Busch are all legit road course racers -Michael McDowell is the guy I am looking at as a guy that could surprise some people Yahoo lineup - Garry's lineup - 4,14,41,95 Matt's lineup -  18,47,1,95 Dark Horse - Garry's pi...

Welcome to TimersSports   Sleepers Danica Patrick - Patrick is having the best stench of her career over the past month and her numbers on the road courses lately has been pretty good. In her last four race this season (dating back to Kentucky), she has 4 top 15 finishes. While, she also has finished 17th-21st in her last four road course races. In three of her last four road course races, she finished in 17th or 19th. At Watkins Glen, she haven't finished worse than 21st in her career, since joining the 10 team. I don't think she will finish in the top 15 in the race, but I think she will finish in the 17th-22nd place range. That's a good outlook for her, I think. Michael McDowell -  Say hello to the best kept secret in the field this weekend. McDowell is a very talented road course racer, but he usually not in good enough equipment to do anything with it. Over the past year, the 95 team have improved a lot and so is Michael. He is running a lot better now and finished in...

Welcome to TimersSprots Fantasy Nascar Picks - Yahoo - A: Start - Kevin Harvick Bench - Denny Hamlin Reasons - I gambled and it didn't really pay off as Kyle Busch got the pole. So now, I will have to make best out of my gamble. Harvick was fast in practice and CC on twitter said they didn't make any changes on Saturday. I will take a shot with him. B: Start - Clint Bowyer and Kurt Busch Bench - AJ Dinger and Kyle Larson Reasons -I like most people will start Jamie Mac and Dinger (or Bowyer) in B. A combo of those three seems to be the most likely lineup. Personally, I am going with a little different lineup here. Bowyer and Busch. I liked these guys in practice, but their qualifying efforts just weren't there. They are top 10 drivers, in my opinion, let's just hope they can get it done. Larson, Elliott, Blaney will be good in the race, but I want to save them for another day. There are better places to use them on. C: Start - Michael McDowell Bench - Daniel Suarez Reas...

Welcome to TimersSports Once again this weekend, the Fantasy Nascar update will be posted before qualifying is held on Sunday. Even if I wanted to write up some post-qulaifying content (few hours before the race), I would be at Watkins Glen itself on Sunday morning. Anyways, I am pretty excited for the race on Sunday afternoon. I love road course racing and Watkins Glen is always pretty entertaining. A few things to know: A) Success at Sonoma doesn't always translate to Watkins Glenn. These two road courses are vastly different overall. 2) Qualifying isn't as important as most weeks. Pit strategy will jumble the running order several times. When the cautions fall will be huge, it usually help determine the winner. A decade and half ago, there would be the obvious favorites heading into the road courses and then a gap to rest of the field. Just because certain drivers would go out and dominate. Now it is pretty close in terms of competitive. I think teams in general are working ...
