ifantasyrace.com turns 5
Before anyone ever read my content on OneBadWheel.com, ifantasyrace.com existed.
Before anyone ever read my content on Onpitrow.com, ifantasyrace.com existed.
ifantasyrace.com was kind of an old concept before it actually existed because the domain stood idle for over a year before it went live! Well today ifantasyrace.com turns 5!
The purpose of ifantasyrace.com was to create a fantasy NASCAR site that did things differently than others. I think that box can be checked. This site does a lot of unique things others don’t do. Just in the last year look at some of the new posts or ideas. Is there any other site that you can read fantasy NASCAR content early? At the time of this posting there’s already Atlanta Advance Content posted! Another unique feature added this year was the Recap Review posts. That should prove to be helpful. Fantasy Racing has a lot of shoulda, coulda, woulda’s and that post helps you remember what happened. Another new post this year is the “Uh-Oh” Report. Think down the road how helpful that will be to fantasy racers. I know the Infineon “Uh-Oh” Report helped me greatly when I completed the Watkins Glen early content. Another new post in the last year was the PROS Rankings. That’s a concept nobody has ever done before. Also the Confidence Rankings are a completely new post type this year. In a way I think IFR stands for Innovation in Fantasy Racing. The image at the top of this post with the slogan “The Next Generation In Fantasy Racing” actually predates this sites online presence.
A couple other concepts that stand out in the past and one which was perhaps the biggest was the death of the Fantasy NASCAR Preview post in 2010. That event was a huge change because it allowed depth to be added for content. I encourage you to check out the Archives Page and compare content over the years. The content offered now is five times better than what was offered in the past. At the bottom of this post check out Jimmie Johnson’s August Pocono content over the years.

[quote]2010 —>Jimmie Johnson – At the end of the last three Pocono races Jimmie Johnson has had to make a mad dash to the front of the field at the end of the race. If he can avoid problems and keep his track position he very easily could be the driver to beat.
2011 —>Jimmie Johnson – Johnson was strong at Pocono earlier this year and finished 4th. He was a top five driver all day and once again will be a serious competitor at the “Tricky Triangle”. Out of current active drivers Johnson has the second best average finish (9.26).
2012 —>Jimmie Johnson – In June on the newly repaved Pocono Speedway Jimmie Johnson had one of the fastest cars. In fact I would contend it may of been the fastest. He started in 24th and by lap #40 he was already in the top 5. The Pocono 400 wasn’t without incident for Johnson though. In the first round of green flag pit stops he had a speeding penalty exiting pit road and then he had another speeding penalty while serving his pass through. Those penalties got him a lap back but he still managed to finish 4th. It was his third consecutive fourth place finish at Pocono. I think if the June race was the Pocono 500 he would’ve won. Jimmie Johnson is the safest pick you can make at Pocono. In 21 races at the “Tricky Triangle” only once has he finished outside the top fifteen. Fresh off his Indy win Jimmie Johnson will be a very popular pick by experts to win the Pennsylvania 400.
2013 —>Jimmie Johnson – You can’t go wrong picking Jimmie Johnson to win the Pocono GoBowling.com 400. In June he had a dominant performance. He started on the pole (qualifying rained out), had a first place average running position, led 80% percent of the race and earned a near perfect 148.1 driver rating. Nobody had anything for Jimmie Johnson in the race and the only time he was passed under green was during the start of the race. After that he was untouchable. Last year the #48 car was also very impressive in both Pocono races. In August his car was just as good as it was in June (2013) but during a late restart while he was leading he got into Matt Kenseth and spun. Under that caution the rain fell and he was unable to improve his position. That led to a misleading 14th place finish. In that race he started in 10th, had a 5th place average running position and led 45% percent of the race. In June 2012 the #48 car was crazy fast. He started in 24th and it only took him 40 laps to crack the top five. Then during the first round of pit stops he was a driver who was caught speeding but he was still able to rebound for a 4th place finish. Since August 2007 Jimmie Johnson has been spectacular here. Over these 12 races he has the best average finish (6.3), best average running position (7.6), led the most laps (415) and has the best driver rating (118.0). My prediction is that Jimmie Johnson will sweep Pocono this year. Look for many fantasy NASCAR experts to pick him this week.
