PROS is an acronym for Projected Ranking Of Strength. What’s projected in this post is how good drivers were the last time they raced at Charlotte (fall 2012). In fantasy racing you can’t just look at a drivers finish position and believe that’s how good they were. Things happen in races and the PROS Ratings [...]

Fantasy Racing Not So Fast – Charlotte Coca Cola 600
Marcos Ambrose – This season on 1.5 mile tracks Marcos Ambrose has been a 20th place driver. At venues of this track length this season he’s had finishes of 19th (Texas), 20th (Kansas) and 22nd (Las Vegas). It should be noted though that at Texas he performed well but was involved in an incident late. [...]
Charlotte Coca Cola 600 Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions
Kurt Busch – Kurt Busch has dark horse sleeper pick potential in the Charlotte Coca Cola 600 but he’s also a risky option. That’s why he’s ranked as a Mid Pack Prediction driver. I don’t know if I can trust him for 600 miles. That’s just a risk I would prefer to avoid. I believe [...]
Charlotte Coca Cola 600 Fantasy NASCAR Top Tier Elite Picks
Kasey Kahne – Charlotte Motor Speedway is Kasey Kahne’s best track. He’s the defending champion of the Coca Cola 600 and has a total of four victories here. His 39% percent top five percentage at Charlotte ties MIS as his highest on the circuit at venues where he’s raced on more than three times. Last [...]
Sprint Showdown Fantasy NASCAR Contenders
Martin Truex Jr. – Martin Truex Jr. should be the prohibitive favorite to win the Sprint Showdown. He’s a previous winner of the event (2010) and #56 team is clearly the cream of the crop in this preliminary race. This season on 1.5 mile tracks like Charlotte Truex Jr. has been very good. The only [...]
Fantasy Racing Not So Fast – Darlington Southern 500
Marcos Ambrose – Marcos Ambrose got familiar with Darlington last year because he earned his share of stripes. In the event he got into the wall a couple of times so it’s surprising he finished 9th. In 2011 he finished 13th. In his first two Darlington races he finished 25th and 33rd. In recent weeks [...]
Darlington Southern 500 Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions
Dale Earnhardt Jr. – Dale Earnhardt Jr. was an intermediate track ace last season but his worst finish of the year on this track type came at Darlington. Last May there was nothing special about Junior’s performance. He simply wasn’t competitive. He started in 24th and finished 17th. In the race he had an 18th [...]
Darlington Bojangles Southern 500 Fantasy Front Runner Rankings
Martin Truex Jr. – In the 2012 Darlington Southern 500 Martin Truex Jr. had one of the best car. When it came to long runs the #56 car was probably the fastest car in the field. Last spring in this race he started in 6th, finished 5th, had a 4th place average running position and [...]
Darlington Bojangles Southern 500 Fantasy NASCAR Top Tier Elite Picks
Jimmie Johnson – Last year at Darlington Jimmie Johnson won the race and got Hendrick Motorsports win number 200. Not only did Johnson win he did it in dominant fashion. He started on the outside of the front row, led 134 laps, and earned the best driver rating. Unsurprisingly Johnson has been very good at “The [...]
Talladega Aaron’s 499 Fantasy NASCAR Confidence Ranking Predictions
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 Six Fantasy NASCAR Darkhorse Sleeper Options
Talladega is perhaps the most unpredictable “Wild Card” track on the schedule. Unusual things happen here and dark horse drivers who you typically wouldn’t consider are capable of getting a good finish. They know that this is their best chance and they go all out. One example of how wild this track type can be [...]

Fantasy Racing PROS Rankings – Talladega
PROS is an acronym for Projected Ranking Of Strength. What’s projected in this post is how good drivers were the last time they raced at Talladega (fall 2012). In fantasy racing you can’t just look at a drivers finish position and believe that’s how good they were. Things happen in races and the PROS Ratings [...]
Talladega Aaron’s 499 Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions
Carl Edwards – I don’t like the way Carl Edwards has raced on restrictor plate tracks lately. He rides around back in the pack and waits until the “Big One” ensues before he makes his move. I think that’s just a recipe for disaster on this track type. It also certainly hasn’t worked out very [...]
Talladega Aaron’s 499 Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings
Jimmie Johnson – The last three Talladega races haven’t been the best for Jimmie Johnson. In these races he’s finished 17th, 35th and 26th. Prior to those three races he was in the midst of a good streak at this Wild Card venue. Between his 2011 win and 2006 win he had seven top tens [...]
