Kansas Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions

Ty Dillon – Ty Dillon has shown improvement on the track this year, but high-speed intermediate tracks have been a glaring weakness. This year over the four combined races on this track type he has a best result of 21st, a 25.5 average finish and a 25.5 average running position. At Kansas, Dillon finished in the teens twice in 2017, but his other three results at this 1.5 mile track are 25th or worse. Last fall, Dillon was a mid-twenties driver at Kansas. He finished 25th, had a 24th place average running position and earned the 26th best driver rating. Last spring he didn’t run well and wrecked late which led to him finishing 38th. About ten laps prior to wrecking he was running in 32nd. Also from the race it should be noted he had a 31st place average running position and earned the 32nd best driver rating. In 2017 at Kansas he swept the teens. He finished 16th in the fall and 14th in the spring. On Saturday night, look for Dillon to be about a low-twenties driver.

Matt DiBenedetto – I’m not setting the benchmark too high for Matt DiBenedetto at Kansas. I think it’s prudent to view him as a low to mid-twenties driver. If things go really well he might be able to finish marginally better. This year at 1.5 mile tracks he’s finished in the 20’s every race and has results of 21st (Las Vegas), 26th (Atlanta) and 26th (Texas). At Kansas in 4 of the last 5 races he’s finished in the 20’s between 22nd and 24th. Last year he had results of 23rd and 22nd. In 2017 he finished 22nd in the fall and had a problem in the spring and finished 32nd.

Bubba Wallace – At Kansas, I would look for Bubba Wallace to be a mid-twenties driver. Last year he finished in the 20’s in both races and this year at 1.5 mile tracks over the three combined races he has a 25.3 average finish and a 24.7 average running position. Last fall at Kansas, Wallace didn’t have a performance to brag about. He finished 26th, had a 23rd place average running position and earned the 23rd best driver rating. Last spring he finished marginally better, but he performed worse. When the checkered flag waved he finished 23rd and had a 31st place average running position. I will note his race wasn’t incident free. On lap 75 he had a flat tire and was slowly creeping around the track. A handful of laps before his problem he was running in 28th.
