Yahoo C List Fantasy NASCAR Preview – Charlotte Bank Of America 500
David Ragan – At Charlotte David Ragan has potential to bring you home a mid to high-teens finish. In his last three races on this track type in the #55 he’s finished 15th, 18th and 18th. That’s probably as good as it gets when you consider his tier. This spring at Charlotte he drove the #55. In the race he started 7th but fell back quickly. Performance wise he was probably around 20th place good but with 47 laps to go his engine blew up which led to his 41st place finish. In his six Charlotte races prior to this springs event he finished between 25th and 35th.
Ryan Blaney – Ryan Blaney will be returning to action on Saturday night in the #21. This spring Ryan Blaney made his lone Charlotte start. In the race he started 16th and finished 42nd. If you read our Asterisk Mark Report then you know that was a misleading result. In the race he had low teens potential but on lap 282 his engine blew up. This season at high-speed intermediate tracks he hasn’t had a great year. His other finishes on this track type are 24th (Michigan #2), 24th (Michigan #1), 42nd (Texas, engine failure) and 19th (Las Vegas).

Danica Patrick – This year at 1.5 mile tracks using the 2015 standard rules package Danica Patrick has a 22.0 average starting position, 22.3 average finish and a 22.7 average running position. In all six of these races she’s finished between 16th and 27th. This spring she finished 22nd and had a 24th place average running position. In the race she finished two laps down. That’s notable because in every race here she’s finished at least two laps down. Last fall at Charlotte she started in 14th and ran around that range until the competition caution on lap 25. During that caution she took two tires which got her up to 3rd. She didn’t run up front for long. By lap 60 she was back to 18th. When the checkered flag waved she finished 26th and earned the 24th best driver rating.
Justin Allgaier – A low twenties finish is the best case scenario based on what we’ve seen from him at 1.5 mile tracks this year. In the last two races at tracks of this length he’s finished 23rd and 24th. This spring at Charlotte he had a tough race and finished dead last. On lap 137 he got into the wall hard and that marked the end of his day. Prior to his issue he was running around 30th. Last fall he had a successful evening. He finished 15th, had a 19th place average running position and earned the 20th best driver rating. For nearly the entirety of the event he ran between 15th and 22nd. In the 2014 Coca Cola 600 he ran well but had some sort of serious issue just after lap 140. Before his problem I would estimate his average running position was around 16th. To give you a better idea about his level of performance here’s a link to his Yahoo Race Chart. When the checkered flag waved he finished 22 laps down in 37th.
