Mark Martin – Earlier this year Mark Martin was one slight bump away from his first win at Pocono. He’s been a bridesmaid finisher 6 times here. Martin’s car was strong for the duration of the race in June. He started in 6th, had an average running position of 6th and ran in the top [...]
Greg Biffle – Greg Biffle has a streak of four straight top 8 finishes at Indy. This feat is matched by no other. In these four races he has the fourth best driver rating (104.5), the third best average running position (8.8) and the best average finish (5.5). Last season Biffle finished 7th but his [...]

Today it was announced that Bob Osborne will no longer be the crew chief for Carl Edwards. Osborne is being replaced by Chad Norris. Osborne is stepping down for health reasons but he will stay employed at Roush Fenway Racing. The Carl Edwards – Bob Osborne duo won 18 races together and finished 2nd in [...]
Ryan Newman – Ryan Newman got his first win at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2002. Since then he’s reached victory lane two more times including last July’s race. One interesting fact about his last two New Hampshire wins is that in both races he beat Tony Stewart for the victory. In 20 races at [...]
Kyle Busch – Kyle Busch had a disappointing Daytona 500. He was never really a factor and only rose to the front before the mid-point point $200,000 prize. With five laps to go he was racing in ninth but the very next lap he got swept up in a wreck. During speed weeks under the [...]
Jimmie Johnson – In the first race at Kentucky Speedway Jimmie Johnson finished 3rd as David Reutimann passed him coming to the finish line. Some notable stats of his from last year are his 119.8 driver rating (second best) and 6th place average running position. The #48 team is the smartest team in NASCAR and [...]
Matt Kenseth – Michigan is a Roush track and Kenseth is always one of the drivers to beat at MIS. I expect nothing to be different in the Quicken Loans 400. Last June Kenseth finished 2nd, led 17 laps and had the best driver rating (130.1). In the August race he finished 10th but take [...]
Denny Hamlin – Denny Hamlin will be a very popular pick by fantasy NASCAR experts to win the Pocono 400. He’s a four-time winner and his career average finish is 9.7. Last year at Pocono Hamlin finished 15th and 19th. Don’t let those finishes scare you away though. He had a 5.5 average running position [...]
Jimmie Johnson – No driver has been more dominant at Dover than Jimmie Johnson. In the last six races Jimmie Johnson has three wins and has led 157 laps or more every race (1,349 total laps in last six). Some more impressive stats of his in this stretch are his 2.3 average running position, 5.0 [...]
Kevin Harvick – Harvick won the Coca Cola 600 last year but you really can’t put to much stock into his victory. Just check out his Yahoo! race chart. He was probably the most shocked person that he won. Harvick’s recent history at Charlotte has been great. In the last four races he has the [...]
Greg Biffle – Greg Biffle was very good in last years All-Star race. He finished 5th and led 46 of the 100 laps. So far this year Biffle has been the class of the field on high-speed intermediate tracks. He won at Texas (similar track) and came close at Las Vegas. In the four high-speed [...]
Greg Biffle - Biffle has two wins at Darlington and he’s finished eighth in two out of the last three years. I would argue he should be a three-time winner but in 2008 his motor blew up midway (Here’s his Yahoo! chart vs Kyle Busch who won). This year Biffle is entering the Southern 500 as one [...]
Kevin Harvick – Last fall at Talladega Kevin Harvick had a good car but he was involved in a wreck. In the three previous races he finished 5th, 2nd and 1st. RCR has an elite plate racing program and Harvick is the best driver in the organization. If you need a default pick on plate [...]
Carl Edwards – Edwards currently has a four race top ten streak at Richmond. The only other driver who has an active streak this long is Kyle Busch. Last fall Edwards finished 2nd and led over a quarter of the race (113 laps). At Phoenix earlier this year Edwards looked lost for much of the [...]
