Matt DiBenedetto – If you’re looking for a low tier driver who has potential than consider Matt DiBenedetto. In spring 2016 he finished a career best 6th. The attrition rate was sky high that event but let’s give him credit for not wrecking. In the last two Bristol races he’s finished 17th and 19th. Overall […]
Aric Almirola – At Michigan I would look for Aric Almirola to be a high-teens to low-twenties driver. This year in his incident free races at intermediate tracks he’s typically finished in the teen’s. In 4 of the last 5 races at MIS Almirola’s finished in the twenties. This spring he missed the race and […]
Aric Almirola – I really don’t view much upside in Aric Almirola. A good day for him here has proven to be a high-teens finish. If that’s what you’re looking for then you can consider him. If your expecting something better than that then I think you’ll be disappointed. Last year Almirola didn’t have a […]
Danica Patrick – Danica Patrick hasn’t been that bad of a performer at Pocono. In 3 of the last 4 races she’s finished between 16th and 22nd. The one race she finished outside of that range she had problems late. This spring at Pocono she had one of her best races of the season. When […]
Michael McDowell – At Indy I would look for McDowell to be a high-teens to low-twenties driver. On a weekly basis this season finishing within that range has become a norm. At Indy McDowell hasn’t had any success but his team is performing better now than they ever have before. In two of the last […]
Danica Patrick – Danica Patrick hasn’t been that bad of a performer at New Hampshire. Over the last five races minus fall 2015 when she was caught up in an accident she has an 18.8 average finish and a 21.3 average running position. Last year Patrick had a solid season by her standards having finished […]
Michael McDowell – Michael McDowell has been solid given his tier at 1.5 mile tracks. In the last four races at tracks of this length he has an 18.3 average finish and a 23.3 average running position. Last year at Kentucky Michael McDowell missed the race and because of the track reconfiguration none of his […]
Landon Cassill – Landon Cassill is a decent restrictor plate racer who’s recently been good for one respectable Daytona result every third race. In this years Daytona 500 he had his “third race” and finished 16th. In his two “third races” prior to that he had results of 12th and 13th. Outside of his “third […]
Ty Dillon – I don’t view Ty Dillon as a road course racer. Maybe a low-twenties finish is the best I would look for from him. Last year among first time Sonoma participants the highest finisher came home with a 21st place result and I don’t see Ty Dillon beating that. Last year in the […]
Darrell Wallace – Darrell Wallace will be behind the wheel of the #43 at Michigan. Hopefully he learned some lesson’s at Pocono because pit road was pretty ugly for him. When Aric Almirola was behind the wheel of the 43 at intermediate tracks this year they were typically high-teens to low-twenties good. At Michigan I […]
Michael McDowell – Look for Michael McDowell to likely be a low-twenties to mid-twenties driver. Performance wise that’s just how he stacks up against the competition. At Pocono McDowell only has one started on his resume since 2014. Last August he finished 22nd and had a 25th place average running position. In many of his […]
Danica Patrick – In 7 of Danica Patrick’s 9 Dover races she’s finished in the twenties. Some good news is that she’s finished in the teens twice and both of those good finishes came in the last two spring races. Last fall she was extremely uncompetitive. She finished 28th and had a 31st place average […]
Chris Buescher – This year at 1.5 mile tracks Chris Buescher has finished between 18th and 24th every race. One positive trend for him on at tracks of this length in 2017 is that he’s always finished better than the race before so hopefully that trend will hold true. Another positive attribute about him is […]
Chris Buescher – This year at intermediate tracks Chris Buescher has finished between 21st and 25th in all four races. Over those combined races he has a 23.3 average finish and a 25.0 average running position. On Saturday night I would look for him to be a low-twenties driver. Last year at Kansas Buescher finished […]
Landon Cassill – Landon Cassill is capable of sneaking in good results at Talladega. In 3 of the last 6 races he’s finished in the top 11. That level of fantasy production is worth a roll of the dice. Last fall at Talladega he was a low-twenties driver. When the checkered flag waved he finished […]
