Fantasy Racing Not So Fast – Party In The Poconos 400

Jeff Burton – Jeff Burton has a 16.2 average finish at Pocono but in the last four races he’s only finished better than that mark once and that was a 15th place finish in last June’s race. In the August race he was never really competitive. He finished 22nd and had a 22nd place average running position. Based off the way Jeff Burton has performed this season I wouldn’t expect this team to be partying at the conclusion of the Party In The Pocono’s 400. I would pencil Burton in for a 16th to 25th place finish. (Yahoo! B Driver)

AJ Allmendinger – AJ Allmendinger will return behind the wheel of the #51 Finch Racing entry at Pocono. I wouldn’t expect to much from him at Pocono. The #51 car has it’s limits and 20th place is probably their ceiling. Also this equipment can’t handle abuse and AJ Allmendinger will likekly be driving hard as he auditions for employment. Allmendinger hasn’t had much success at Pocono. He’s only finished in the top ten once and has a 22.6 average finish. Last spring in the #22 car he started in 19th but was involved in a wreck (finished 31st).
Danica Patrick – Last year Pocono didn’t make Tony Stewart’s list of tough tracks for Danica Patrick. As a result she’ll be making her first laps around here in the Party In The Pocono’s 400. In this race she might just have one of her better performances of year. She does a good job taking care of her equipment and it’s hard to get lapped at Pocono. Indy is the most similar track to Pocono and going back to her Indy car days that was probably her best track. (Yahoo! C Driver)

David Ragan – David Ragan’s fantasy value at Pocono is very low. Last year he had finishes of 27th & 28th and had a 26th place average running position. Pocono hasn’t been a good track for Ragan. He’s only finished in the top ten once and has finished 22nd or worse in 75% percent of his races. (Yahoo! C Driver)
Bobby Labonte – Just over a decade ago at Pocono Bobby Labonte was the Denny Hamlin of the time. In a six race stretch between 1999 and 2001 he had three wins and a 5th place average finish. Times sure have changed though. His last top ten here was in 2006 and since 2009 he has a 29th place average finish and a 28th place average running position. (Yahoo! C Driver)
