Hamlin’s First Race Back: Should You Pick Him? This week we’re at Darlington Raceway for the annual Southern 500, and unlike most weekends there are a whole lot of extra variables that we, as fantasy racers, have to consider; it’s Denny Hamlin’s first full race back since his back injury, Brad Keselowski and Matt Kenseth’s [...]

Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Richmond – Toyota Owners 400
Can Kenseth Make It Back-to-Back Wins? The Cup series is at Richmond International Raceway for the Toyota Owners 400 this weekend–the first of two stops at this track in 2013. The weekend schedule was really condensed, as we had two practice sessions on Friday afternoon followed by qualifying later on. What I don’t like this [...]
Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Kansas – STP 400
A First For Kyle Busch? After this race last season, Kansas Speedway was repaved so really the only data we have on the “new” track is the Hollywood Casino 400 here last fall–Matt Kenseth won, by the way. On Friday, Matt also won the pole for Sunday’s STP 400, barely beating out his ex-teammate Carl Edwards. The [...]
Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Texas – NRA 500
Two in a Row for Johnson? This week the Sprint Cup series is at Texas Motor Speedway for the first night race of the season. This track is 1.5-miles in length, and so far the only track we’ve been to with the Gen-6 car at that length has been Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The two [...]

Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Martinsville – STP Gas Booster 500
Martinsville isn’t a throw away weekend for fantasy racers. This is a high attrition track but with the ifantasyrace advantage you can get the edge on your competition. The series has seen plenty of track time this weekend and we have you covered despite the fact it’s largely untelevised. To find out what happened on [...]
Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Fontana – Auto Club 400
Worry In The Ford Camp? The two most surprising happenings of the weekend were on Friday when Greg Biffle blew a motor early in first practice and then when Brad Keselowski decided to change engines before qualifying. Auto Club Speedway is 2 -mile race track that requires a strong motor to run well, so the [...]
Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Bristol – Food City 500
The JGR/KB Show So far this weekend, pretty much every on-track activity has been dominated by not only Kyle Busch, but the entire Joe Gibbs Racing organization. The engine woes that dominated news headlines for the first two weeks of the season seem like year-old news right now, which is something that fantasy racers need [...]
Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Las Vegas – Kobalt Tools 400
Can’t Rain On This Parade (Anymore) Rain and fines have been the story lines this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (hey, at least the Danica flooding has stopped, right?). On Friday, qualifying as well as the first “official” practice session got rained out, which means the starting lineup for this year’s Kobalt Tools 400 [...]
Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Phoenix – Subway Fresh Fit 500
This week the Sprint Cup Series is in the desert at Phoenix International Raceway, which was repaved and reconfigured between the two 2011 events. In other words, we’ve only seen three races on this new track, and if you like to look at past history, those are the ones I would place the most emphasis [...]
Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: 2013 Daytona 500
Can Harvick Make It 3-for-3? The week leading up to the Daytona 500 is like no other one on the Sprint Cup Series schedule. We get a whole bunch of practice data, but really the only thing worth paying attention to is how racing was in the Sprint Unlimited and the two Budweiser Duel races. [...]

Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Homestead – Ford EcoBoost 400 (2012 Chase Race #10)
Hail Mary Time There are a myriad amount of variables that could affect the outcome of the Ford EcoBoost 400 on Sunday, the final race of NASCAR’s 2012 season. Will Clint Bowyer inflict payback on Jeff Gordon? Will there be teams testing out certain things for next season, and will those experimental setups last all [...]
Average Practice Speeds: Homestead – Ford EcoBoost 400 (2012 Chase Race #10)
The practice schedule this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway was similar to what we’ve had for the last few weeks, except for the fact that the first session on Saturday wasn’t televised. What’s unfortunate is that was when the most action occurred, with Denny Hamlin and Greg Biffle getting together and collecting pole-sitter Joey Logano. All [...]
