Michael McDowell – At Kansas I’m going to project Michael McDowell as a high-teens to low-twenties driver. This spring he finished 13th but by no means would I feel comfortable expecting that type of production out of him again. In that race it should be noted he had a 25th place average running position and […]
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 […]
Danica Patrick – Danica Patrick should prove to be a high-teens to low-twenties driver at Charlotte. In incident free races at intermediate tracks that’s proven to be her typical finish range. This spring she didn’t have a good race and finished 25th. That’s a pretty good result though when you take into account she got […]
Michael McDowell – Since 2014 Michael McDowell has only raced at Dover twice. Both of his starts were in the last two spring races. For fantasy purposes just focus on his two spring starts because in his other races prior to 2014 he was a “Start and parker.” This spring he finished 19th and had […]
Chris Buescher – Chris Buescher doesn’t have a great track record at New Hampshire. His average finish is 28.0 and all of his results are between 25th and 30th. I think he should be able to beat his best result, but anything better than a low-twenties shouldn’t be expected. This summer at New Hampshire he […]
Michael McDowell – Michael McDowell has been dreadful at Chicagoland. His average finish is 40.2 over his six combined starts. I wouldn’t read into his track history because he’s in a more competitive situation now. This year at high-speed intermediate tracks he hasn’t been a bad performer and I would say he’s typically about low-twenties […]
Danica Patrick – In 3 of the last 4 Richmond races Danica Patrick has finished in the teens. Over the last four races she has a 19.0 average finish, a 23.5 average running position and has the 23rd best driver rating. This spring she finished 18th and had a 23rd place average running position. Last […]
Danica Patrick – At Darlington I think Danica Patrick is likely a low twenties finisher if things go smoothly. In her two most recent incident free races she’s walked away with a low-twenties result. Last year at the “Lady In Black” she finished 24th and had a 28th place average running position. In 2015 she […]
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 […]
