The 2nd Round of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs is about to get very interesting, as the drivers will compete in the fourth (and final) restrictor plate race of the season at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday afternoon. The races at both Talladega and Daytona are what are considered “wildcard” races–where literally any driver […]
Michael McDowell – Since 2016 at plate tracks minus the race this spring at Talladga, Michael McDowell has a 13.2 average finish. I will note that much of his success over this stretch was at Daytona. This spring McDowell didn’t have a good race at Talladega and was caught up in a wreck that led […]
Matt Kenseth – I really like Matt Kenseth at restrictor plate tracks, but recently times haven’t been good for him, at either venue. Talladega has been especially brutal to him recently. In 7 of the last 8 races he’s finished 20th or worse. Currently he has five straight results between 23rd and 28th. This spring he […]
Dale Earnhardt Jr. – Dale Earnhardt Jr. is always a popular pick fantasy NASCAR pick at Talladega. With this being his final Talladega race, where his father won his final race I can imagine the story lines already. If you’re looking to get out of sync with the competition this week you probably need to […]
Brad Keselowski – Brad Keselowski will be one of the drivers to beat at Talladega. He’s an elite restrictor plate driver and is always a factor. In the fall Talladega race he should be very prominent on your fantasy radar because Penske Racing has won the last three fall races. At Talladega Keselowski is a […]

1) Kevin Harvick (Starting – 3rd) Charlotte Fantasy Spin – Kevin Harvick has run extremely well at Charlotte. He’s a three-time winner who’s finished in the top ten in 8 of the last 9 races. Over that stretch minus the race last fall he has a 3.9 average finish and a 6.6 average running position. […]
Weather has been the main concern to start the second round of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. That’s not overly surprising, though, considering rain has affected the Bank of America 500 for three years in a row now. Still, any kind of disturbance in the weekend schedule isn’t ideal for Fantasy NASCAR players, […]
