Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Phoenix – Subway Fresh Fit 500 (Post Qualifying, Post Happy Hour)

Credit: Tyler Barrick/Getty Images for NASCAR Phoenix Is Still Jimmie’s House After a long, tiring, and exciting speedweeks in Daytona, the Sprint Cup Series has made the trek across the country to Phoenix for this year’s Subway Fresh Fit 500. After this race last season, in case you forgot, Phoenix International Raceway was completely repaved [...]

Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Homestead – Ford 400 (Chase Race #10) (Post Qualifying)

And The 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion Is….. Three points, two drivers, one champion. Carl Edwards started off this weekend being fast in practice, and brought that over into qualifying where he won his third and final pole for this 2011 season. Martin Truex, Jr. will start beside Cousin Carl on Sunday, and for [...]

Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Phoenix 2 – Kobalt Tools 500 (Chase Race #9) (Post Qualifying)

Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire Judging by Saturday’s qualifying session, the Kobalt Tools 500 definitely has the potential to be a wreck-fest, maybe even worse than the one we had at this track in February. Car after car was sliding around this newly configured Phoenix International Raceway, but it was Matt Kenseth who got the [...]

Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Kansas 2 – Hollywood Casino 400 (Chase Race #4) (Post Happy Hour)

It’s Been A While Since We Saw A Backflip This weekend the Sprint Cup Series is at Kansas Speedway for the second time in this 2011 season, and for the fourth race in their ten-race playoffs. Brad Keselowski won here in June on a fuel gamble, and gas mileage could easily become a factor in [...]

Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Chicago – Geico 400 (Post Qualifying) (Chase Race #1)

Who Will Grab An Early Points Lead After Chase Race #1? Now that the potential championship winners have been narrowed down to twelve drivers, NASCAR’s version of the playoffs are set to start this Sunday at the Geico 400 at Chicagoland Speedway. This track has only been raced on for the last ten years by [...]

Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Richmond 2 – Wonderful Pistachios 400 (Post Qualifying)

Expect To See Some Familiar Cars Up Front On Saturday Night The “regular season” of NASCAR will end on Saturday night, and thankfully we can all now stop hearing about clinching scenarios (I think Tony Stewart wants that talk to stop as well). Richmond is a 0.75-mile track and any racing on a short, flat [...]

Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Atlanta – Advocare 500 (Post Qualifying)

Can “Smoke” Stay In The Top Ten With The Red Hot Blue Deuce Team Closing In? I’ll tell you before I start that this week is a complete toss up for me. Not only is no driver really dominant at this track, but that along with the idiotic practice schedule–Matt Kenseth said, “I don’t know [...]

Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Bristol 2 – Irwin Tools Night Race (Post Qualifying)

Will Kyle Busch Finally Be De-Throned At Bristol?  My favorite race of the year is Saturday night, and even though driver’s tempers can ruin your rosters quickly at this half-mile track, the Bristol races are usually very good weeks to pick some underdogs and take a chance. Ryan Newman grabbed the pole for the Irwin [...]

Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Michigan 2 – Pure Michigan 400 (Post Happy Hour)

We actually got to see the cars on the track after qualifying this weekend, so be sure to check out my Practice Breakdown to see who will probably be fast (at the beginning anyway) during the Pure Michigan 400. Roush-Fenway teammates Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth took the front row in qualifying, and the full [...]

Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Watkins Glen – Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips At The Glen (Post Qualifying)

Can Marcos Ambrose Finally Get That Elusive Sprint Cup Victory? Like it or not, the Sprint Cup Series drivers will be making left and right hand turns on Sunday, as they are set to make (at least) 90 laps around Watkins Glen International for the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips At The Glen. There will be [...]

Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Indianapolis – Brickyard 400 (Post Happy Hour, Post Qualifying)

Will The Chevrolet Stranglehold At Indianapolis Motor Speedway Finally End? Bill Elliott in the 2002 Brickyard race was the last driver to kiss the bricks without having Chevrolet under under the hood. Will that domination come to an end on Sunday? When you look at the average speed chart (click here to read my Practice Breakdown), it [...]
