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 [...]

Kansas Hollywood Casino 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Jimmie Johnson – I wouldn’t want to bet against Jimmie Johnson in the Kansas Hollywood Casino 400. He’s been money in the bank at intermediate tracks this year.

Kasey Kahne What to expect: Kasey Kahne should be money in the bank in the Bank of America 500. His car is quick and he’s already viewed as one of the garage area favorites. What I really like about Kahne at Charlotte is his ability to adjust lines on the track. That will be pivotal [...]
