Who will win the AAA Texas 500?
Desperate fantasy racers do desperate things. Smart fantasy racers get the ifantasyrace advantage
Pocono Pennsylvania 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Jimmie Johnson – In June on the newly repaved Pocono Speedway Jimmie Johnson had one of the fastest cars. In fact I would contend it may of been the fastest. He started in 24th and by lap #40 he was already in the top 5. The Pocono 400 wasn’t without incident for Johnson though. In [...]
Indy Curtiss Shaver 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Front Runner” Rankings
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 [...]
New Hampshire Lenox Industrial Tools 301: Fantasy NASCAR “Front Runner” Rankings
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 [...]
All-Star Race: Fantasy NASCAR “Front Runner” Rankings
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 [...]
Darlington Bojangles Southern 500: Fantasy NASCAR “Mid Pack” Projections
Jamie McMurray - McMurray does good on skill tracks and he’s coming into the Bojangles Southern 500 with back to back top ten finishes (2nd in 2010 and 9th in 2011). McMurray isn’t a Top Tier Elite driver at Darlington but he’s an excellent sleeper pick. His 2012 results may not show it but he’s been [...]
Texas Samsung Mobile 500: Fantasy NASCAR “Mid Pack” Projections
Las Vegas Kobalt Tools 400: Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Projections
Martin Truex Jr. – In six races at Las Vegas Truex has only finished in the top ten once. Fortunately for him that was in last years race (6th). Truex ended 2011 with good finishes on this track type (3rd at Homestead, 8th at Texas) but I think the risk level in picking him is [...]
Las Vegas Kobalt Tools 400: Drivers who you don’t want to pick
Kurt Busch – Unlike his brother Kurt Busch has never had any sort of home field advantage at Las Vegas. In the last five Vegas races his average finish is 26.2 and he’s only finished in the top twenty once. He is a good qualifier though. In these five races only Kyle Busch and Mark [...]
Winning Fantasy NASCAR Strategies
Don’t play with your heart If you want to be a successful fantasy NASCAR player you can’t play with your heart, unless your favorite driver is Jimmie Johnson. Playing with your heart isn’t a one way street. It goes for both drivers who you like and dislike. The best way of avoiding playing with your [...]
CDM Driver Salaries Analysis
Ladies and gentleman, we all know that fantasy NASCAR games aren’t created equal. Some people may be happy with just playing one team a week, but if you’re similar to me, you probably like to have a whole bunch of rosters every week (probably more than we can handle) and not just those played with [...]
