Darlington Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions

Greg Biffle – At Darlington I think the best case scenario for Biffle is a result between the mid-teens and high-teens. That’s just how the #16 team stacks up at the moment. Darlington has historically been a good track for Biffle. He’s won here twice, has finished in the top ten 40% percent of the time and in the top fifteen 73% percent of the time. Last year Biffle had his worst showing since 2010. In the race he finished 18th, earned the 18th best driver rating and had a 19th place average running position. In 2014 Biffle looked like a low teen’s driver through the first 270 laps until he used pit strategy which got him in the top ten. Over the final 100 laps I would estimate his average running position was around 8th. When the checkered flag waved he finished 5th, earned the 10th best driver rating and had a 14th place average running position. In 2013 he had an OK performance. He finished 13th, had a 14th place average running position and earned the 15th best driver rating. In 2012 Biffle had a very fast car. He started on the pole, led 74 laps and had a 4th place average running position. When the checkered flag waved he finished 12th but that can be chalked up to him losing positions on the track in the last phase of the race. In 2011 he finished 8th. (Yahoo B Driver)

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. – At Darlington Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has managed to finish worse each time he’s raced here. I hope that trend will end because you can’t finish much lower than 38th which is where he finished last year. If Stenhouse Jr. has an incident free race I would look for him to likely finish somewhere around the high-teens. Last year at Darlington Stenhouse Jr. didn’t have an incident free race. On lap 198 while he was running in 17th he spun and totaled his car. In 2014 Stenhouse Jr. didn’t run well but he did escape with a 20th place finish. In that race he had a 26th place average running position and earned the 27th best driver rating. In 2013 in his Darlington debut he finished 18th, earned the 21st best driver rating and had a 22nd place average running position. (Yahoo B Driver)
