Pocono Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions

Paul Menard – At Pocono, Paul Menard has finished around 20th a lot recently, and conventional wisdom says he’ll do that again. In 4 of the last 5 races at “The Tricky Triangle” he’s finished between 18th to 21st. Earlier this year, Paul Menard had his recent typical performance and finished 18th. Also in the race he had a 16th place average running position and earned the 17th best driver rating. Last summer, Menard didn’t have a good race and finished 21st. Additionally, he had a 23rd place average running position and was in 23rd with 8 laps to go before two late cautions bumped him up because of attrition. In spring 2018, he had one of his best races here and crossed the finish line in 11th. That tied his best Pocono result since August 2012. Overall it was a solid race for him and his driver rating ranked as the 15th best. In 2017 in the #27 he wasn’t as competitive. That year he finished 19th in the summer and 20th in the spring.

Daniel Hemric – Daniel Hemric didn’t have a bad debut at Pocono this spring. When the checkered flag waved he finished 13th, earned the 16th best driver rating and had a 17th place average running position. On Sunday, I would look for him to likely be about a high-teens performer.

Michael McDowell – Michael McDowell has been an OK performer at Pocono, among his tier. Over the last four races here he’s finished between 16th to 21st. Also over that stretch he has a 18.8 average finish and a 23.3 average running position. In the last two July races here he’s finished in the teens, so that’s good news. Earlier this year, McDowell was a low-twenties driver. When the race reached its conclusion he finished 20th and had a 22nd place average running position. Last summer, McDowell had his best Pocono result and finished 16th. That said, his average running position was 25th and with 8 laps to go before two late cautions came out he was running in 24th. In spring 2018 he finished 21st and had a 26th place average running position. In the three Pocono races prior to that he had results of 18th, 23rd and 24th.
