1. Clint Bowyer – Clint Bowyer is arguably the safest fantasy pick you can make for the Talladega Aaron’s 499. I truly believe he provides you the best chance to get a good finish and avoid “The Big One”. He’s a two-time winner at Talladega and has finished in the top twelve in 9 of [...]

Talladega Aaron’s 499 Fantasy NASCAR Top Tier Elite Picks
Matt Kenseth – Matt Kenseth is currently the best driver on restrictor plate tracks. Last season on this track type he had two wins and finished in the top five every race. At Talladega last season he was very impressive. In the spring race he led the most laps (73) and finished 3rd. In the [...]
Martinsville STP Gas Booster 500 Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings
Matt Kenseth – I think Kenseth will really benefit from being in a Joe Gibbs car at Martinsville. Equipment is very important here and the JGR Toyota’s rank right up there with the Hendrick Chevy’s. They have excellent brakes and cut through the center of turns with ease. Compared to his old ride this is [...]
Auto Club 400 – Fantasy NASCAR Top Tier Elite Picks
Kyle Busch – Kyle Busch should be on your fantasy NASCAR picking radar for the 2013 Auto Club 400. If he’s not then you haven’t been paying attention in recent races at Fontana. Last year Kyle Busch finished 2nd, led 80 laps, had a second place average running position and recorded the best driver rating. [...]
Homestead-Miami Ford EcoBoost 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Matt Kenseth – This will be Matt Kenseth’s final race in the #17 Roush-Fenway Ford. In future Homestead races I think he’ll miss this car because he’s been so successful here. In five of the last seven races here he’s finished in the top ten. Last year at Homestead he finished 4th and had a [...]
Phoenix AdvoCare 500 Fantasy NASCAR After Practice Contender Picks
Brad Keselowski What to expect: Brad Keselowski is playing cat and mouse games with Jimmie Johnson this weekend. The Blue Deuce looks good in the center of the turns and carries good speed off of them. That’s the key to being good at Phoenix. On Sunday at some point Keselowski will be in the lead [...]
Phoenix AdvoCare 500: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Jimmie Johnson – Jimmie Johnson arguably had the best car at Phoenix earlier this year. His car could roll through the center of the turns better than anyone and when he was out in front of the field the #48 was tenths quicker than the competition. The race wasn’t trouble free for him though. Just [...]
AAA Texas 500: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Jimmie Johnson – Jimmie Johnson had a good car at Texas in April but Ryan Newman took away his chance for victory. With about 30 laps to go Johnson was coming to lap Newman but was held up which allowed Biffle to quickly catch him. If that didn’t happen I think it’s likely he would’ve [...]
Martinsville Tums Fast Relief 500: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Jimmie Johnson – Jimmie Johnson is as good of a fantasy pick as they’ll come for the Martinsville Tums Fast Relief 500. He’s won here six times and has only three finishes outside the top ten. His last Martinsville win was in 2009 but by no means has he lost his touch. He had this [...]
Talladega Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Clint Bowyer – Clint Bowyer has five straight top tens at Talladega and he’s won the last two fall races. Since the second Dega race of 2007 he’s only finished lower than 12th once. If you want a safe pick he’s your guy. Not to many drivers enjoy this big 2.66 mile track but he [...]
Dover AAA 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Jimmie Johnson – Jimmie Johnson will be the favorite to win the AAA 400. You don’t need a crystal ball to make that prediction. This spring Jimmie Johnson had the best PROS Ranking and won his 7th race at the Monster Mile. He started in 2nd, led 289 laps and had an average running position [...]
New Hampshire Sylvania 300: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Jimmie Johnson – In July Johnson started in 7th and finished 7th. He was better than that though. He was a driver who got burned by the last caution. When the last yellow flag waved it was in the middle of the pit cycle and Johnson just pitted. He was put a lap down but [...]
Chicagoland Geico 400 Fantasy NASCAR Top Tier Elite Deadline Analysis
Jimmie Johnson What to expect / Areas of concern: Jimmie Johnson started the week as my #2 ranked driver but now that he’s starting on the pole he’s my new number #1. Speedwise Johnson looked mid pack yesterday but I think he’s anything but that this week. In practice his car was good over long [...]
Chicagoland Geico 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Brad Keselowski – Last year at Chicagoland Keselowski started in 6th and finished 5th. I wouldn’t say he was 5th place good though. His average running position was 11th and benefited when the competition ran out of gas. I like Keselowski in the Geico 400 based off his recent performances at 1.5 mile tracks. He [...]
Richmond Federated Auto Parts 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Denny Hamlin – Richmond is Denny Hamlin’s home track and he’s always been impressive here. Since his first start when he finished 2nd with an injured arm to this spring when he finished 4th there’s no question he’s a “Top Tier Elite” driver. Heading into the Federated Auto Parts 400 with back to back wins [...]
