Kansas STP 400 Fantasy NASCAR Top Tier Elite Picks
Jimmie Johnson – Jimmie Johnson was very impressive last fall at Kansas given his circumstance. He started in 7th, led 44 laps and finished 9th.

Hail Mary Time There are a myriad amount of variables that could affect the outcome of the Ford EcoBoost 400 on Sunday, the final race of NASCAR’s 2012 season.

Average Practice Speeds: Homestead – Ford EcoBoost 400 (2012 Chase Race #10)
The practice schedule this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway was similar to what we’ve had for the last few weeks, except for the fact that the first session on Saturday wasn’t televised.

Homestead-Miami Ford EcoBoost 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Mid Pack” Projections
Kurt Busch – No driver had a tougher Homestead than Kurt Busch last season. On lap #3 he had transmission problems and while he was in the garage he blew up his career. Kurt Busch has some fantasy potential again. The #78 team is a step up from the #51 and a few weeks ago [...]
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 [...]
Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Phoenix 2 – Advocare 500 (2012 Chase Race #9)
Advantage Blue Deuce Track position is going to be a key element as to who visits victory lane at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday afternoon; the newly reconfigured track really has just one lane and passing will be difficult.

Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Martinsville 2 – TUMS Fast Relief 500 (2012 Chase Race #7)
Overtaking the Lead Once the TUMS Fast Relief 500 on Sunday, we may be looking at a new championship leader, and this race could easily end up being the turning point in the Chase.

Average Practice Speeds: Martinsville 2 – TUMS Fast Relief 500 (2012 Chase Race #7)
The cars have already logged a bunch of practice laps at Martinsville Speedway this weekend in preparation for the 500-lap event on Sunday afternoon.
