Carl Edwards – I’m not a big fan of picking Carl Edwards at plate tracks, especially in allocation league formats. His drive in the back until the end driving style is like playing with fire. Statistically the two plate tracks rank as his 22nd and 23rd best tracks. That’s really bad when you consider there’s […]
Jamie McMurray – If you’re looking for a dark horse fantasy NASCAR pick at Richmond International Speedway it’s hard to do any better than picking Jamie McMurray. He’s been extremely good here recently and has performed as well as some of the elite drivers. Over the last five RIR races McMurray has a 7.6 average […]
Jamie McMurray – If you’re looking for a dark horse fantasy NASCAR option at Bristol it’s hard to do any better than picking Jamie McMurray. It’s a great track for him and over the last six races minus an accident in spring 2014 he has a 12.4 average finish and an 11.8 average running position. […]
Austin Dillon – This year at intermediate tracks Austin Dillon has run really well. He finished 5th at Las Vegas, 11th at Atlanta and was top ten good at Auto Club Speedway until he had problems on pit road. Outside of the elite drivers on this track type he’s been about as good as they […]
Jamie McMurray – Jaime McMurray is a solid sleeper fantasy NASCAR pick at Martinsville. Its home to his best top ten finish percentage (54%), and second best top twenty finish percentage (73%). The only downside regarding him here is that he’s only finished in the top five twice in his twenty-six races. Last fall he […]
Austin Dillon – Austin Dillon has solid fantasy NASCAR potential at Auto Club Speedway. So far in 2016 he’s been the breakout performer of the year. In the two races held at high-speed intermediate tracks this season he’s scored the 8th most points and has an 8.0 average finish. Austin Dillon has two races at […]
AJ Allmendinger – Phoenix hasn’t been a bad track for AJ Allmendinger. In 10 of his 13 races he’s finished in the top 18. In the last four Phoenix races he’s finished in the mid-teens twice, and in the mid-twenties twice. Last fall he didn’t run well. He started 23rd, had a 24th place average […]
Denny Hamlin – Denny Hamlin should be solid in the Phoenix Good Sam 500 if he decides to race hard. Since 2012 he’s finished in the top ten in 5 of the 8 races. Last fall he had a good race. He finished 8th, earned the 9th best driver rating and had a 9th place […]
Ryan Newman – Las Vegas is a good track for Ryan Newman. In four of the last five races he’s finished in the top seven. Over this stretch minus 2013 when he had an engine failure Newman has a 4.8 average finish, 11.0 average running position and has led 14 laps. Last year Newman had […]
Austin Dillon – Since Austin Dillon’s been a full-time driver he’s been a quality Daytona fantasy NASCAR option. In the last four Daytona races Dillon has the 4th best average finish (8.8) and the 9th best driver rating. Over this stretch he’s finished between 5th and 14th every race. Last summer Dillon had a great […]
Ryan Newman – Since 2010 at Homestead Ryan Newman has finished in the top 7 every other race. Last year he had a strong performance when he was competing for the championship. He started deep in the field in 21st but he slowly climbed his way up through the running order. Late in the race […]
Martin Truex Jr. – Martin Truex Jr. has shown good speed at shorter flat tracks but he’s had some misleading results along the way. Performance wise he’s been top ten good in all five races in 2015. At Phoenix Martin Truex Jr. has looked very strong on occasion but he’s walked away with a number […]
Ryan Newman – Ryan Newman has been consistent at Texas. In the last six races he’s finished between 9th and 16th. Also over that stretch he has a 12.3 average finish, 14.5 average running position and the 15th best driver rating. This spring he had a quality showing. He started in the rear of the […]
Carl Edwards – Now that Carl Edwards drives for Joe Gibbs Racing you need to take his fantasy value seriously at Martinsville. You can probably throw out his old stats because Joe Gibbs equipment is leaps and bounds better than his old Ford. This spring Carl Edwards ran well but finished 17th. That finish deserves […]
Jeff Gordon – This will be Jeff Gordon’s final race at Talladega and I don’t think he’ll miss it one bit. In his career at Talladega Jeff Gordon has 6 wins and has finished in the top ten 42% percent of the time. This season at plate tracks Gordon has looked good and could easily […]
