Ryan Blaney – Ryan Blaney is an aggressive plate racer who isn’t a bad option. He’s had some really good races on this track type in the past. In this years Daytona 500 he had his best race on this track type and the number you need to know about him is 2. He finished […]
Kasey Kahne – Kasey Kahne will be a dark horse fantasy option at Sonoma. I don’t think he’ll be a popular pick, but he’s proven he can get the job done here. At Sonoma he’s a past winner who’s entering the race with a series high 4 straight top tens. Over this four race stretch […]
Joey Logano – Joey Logano has been really bad recently. Over the last five races he’s finished 22nd or worse and has a 27.6 average finish. This slump of his is very real, and I would urge you to try to avoid it. Michigan is the perfect place for him to try to turn things […]
Ty Dillon – Ty Dillon is likely a high-teens driver at Pocono. Last spring in his most recent race there was nothing special about his performance. He finished 21st and had a 25th place average running position. In spring 2015 in his first race he had his best result and crossed the finish line in […]
Clint Bowyer – Clint Bowyer is a solid performer at Pocono. Prior to his days of being in inferior equipment he was typically around an 8th to 15th place performer. Between 2012 and 2015 he finished between 4th and 15th in 7 of the 8 races. On Sunday at Pocono I would look for Bowyer […]
Denny Hamlin – Denny Hamlin has been a respectable performer at Dover. Over the last four races at the Monster Mile he has the 8th best driver rating, an 11.8 average running position and a slightly misleading 13.8 average finish. Last year at Dover he had a good season scoring the 5th most points and […]
Kurt Busch – Kurt Busch is entering Charlotte with some dark horse fantasy value. If he didn’t have his collision with Jimmie Johnson at the end of Kansas he would be entering this race having finished in the top ten in 4 of the last 5 races. At Charlotte Kurt Busch has been strong recently […]
Clint Bowyer – Kansas is Clint Bowyer’s home track and a strong finish should be expected from him. This year at intermediate tracks he has an 8.8 average result and has finished in the top 11 every race. At the three 1.5 mile tracks visited he’s finished in either 10th or 11th. Recently at Kansas […]
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. – Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is a really good restrictor plate driver who shouldn’t be overlooked. Out of the 23 tracks on the schedule Talladega ranks as his second best (11.7 average finish). Over his 7 races at Talladega he’s only once finished lower than 16th and that was a misleading result. Last […]
Erik Jones – Don’t overlook Erik Jones at Richmond. Phoenix is a similar track and this spring he ran extremely well at that venue. When the checkered flag waved he finished 8th, had an 8th place average running position and earned the 7th best driver rating. At Richmond I think he has a great chance […]
Ryan Blaney – Ryan Blaney is a quality sleeper NASCAR fantasy option at Bristol and his 22.7 average finish should help keep him below the radar. Last year at Bristol he ran well in both events. Last summer he had a strong car and was a top ten contender but finished a misleading 35th after […]
Jamie McMurray – Jamie McMurray should contend for a top ten finish at Texas. At intermediate tracks in lowest down force package races him and Brad Keselowski are 6 for 6 in terms of finishing in the top ten on this track type. Between the six races he’s finished between 6th and 10th every race. […]
Kasey Kahne – Kasey Kahne shouldn’t be overlooked at Martinsville, but it should be noted he carries some risk. Since he’s driven for Hendrick Motorsports he has he has five results in the top 11, and five results of 22nd or worse. Recently he’s been more good than bad having finished in the top 11 […]
Jamie McMurray – Jamie McMurray should have a solid afternoon at Auto Club Speedway. We already know he’s good with the “Lowest Down Force Package” at two-mile ovals. Last year at Michigan he swept the top ten with results of 8th and 9th. This year at intermediate tracks using the new rules package he has […]
Ryan Blaney – Phoenix has been a good track for Ryan Blaney and he’s a perfect 2 for 2 in terms of finishing in the top ten. In both events he ran well and had a successful afternoon. Last fall he had a solid showing finishing 8th and having a 13th place average running position. […]
