Phoenix AdvoCare 500: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Jimmie Johnson – Jimmie Johnson arguably had the best car at Phoenix earlier this year. His car could roll through the center of the turns better than anyone and when he was out in front of the field the #48 was tenths quicker than the competition. The race wasn’t trouble free for him though. Just [...]
AAA Texas 500: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Jimmie Johnson – Jimmie Johnson had a good car at Texas in April but Ryan Newman took away his chance for victory. With about 30 laps to go Johnson was coming to lap Newman but was held up which allowed Biffle to quickly catch him. If that didn’t happen I think it’s likely he would’ve [...]
Martinsville Tums Fast Relief 500: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Jimmie Johnson – Jimmie Johnson is as good of a fantasy pick as they’ll come for the Martinsville Tums Fast Relief 500. He’s won here six times and has only three finishes outside the top ten. His last Martinsville win was in 2009 but by no means has he lost his touch. He had this [...]
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. The track I would recommend you study the most for this race is Michigan. MIS has a new track surface and Jimmie Johnson was impressive in both [...]
Charlotte Bank Of America 500: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Kasey Kahne – Kasey Kahne will be one of the favorites to win the Bank Of America 500. He’s won at this venue four times and is the most recent winner. In May Kahne led 96 laps and had a 4th place average running position. His 135.5 driver rating tied him with Greg Biffle for [...]
Talladega Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500: Fantasy NASCAR “Front Runner” Rankings
Kasey Kahne – In the last two Talladega races Kahne has finishes of 6th and 4th. Kahne only has two other top tens at Dega and they were second place finishes in 2009 & 2006. Despite his shaky history I think Kahne is a good prospect for the Good Sam 500. He has momentum and [...]
Dover AAA 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Jimmie Johnson – Jimmie Johnson will be the favorite to win the AAA 400. You don’t need a crystal ball to make that prediction. This spring Jimmie Johnson had the best PROS Ranking and won his 7th race at the Monster Mile. He started in 2nd, led 289 laps and had an average running position [...]
New Hampshire Sylvania 300 Fantasy NASCAR Top Tier Elite Deadline Analysis
Denny Hamlin What to expect / Areas of concern: The #11 team screwed up in qualifying but Hamlin has 300 laps to fix that mistake. That’s more than enough for him. Long runs will be important in the Sylvania 300 and Hamlin’s car is fast over long runs. His average practice speed is 1st and [...]

New Hampshire Sylvania 300 Practice #1 Notes
Tony Stewart – As soon as practice started Tony Stewart spun. He didn’t hit anything so don’t worry. At the end of practice Steve Addington said they were headed in the direction they were a year ago (finished 2nd and 1st last year). This team struggled earlier this year but they tested a Milwaukee for [...]
New Hampshire Sylvania 300: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Jimmie Johnson – In July Johnson started in 7th and finished 7th. He was better than that though. He was a driver who got burned by the last caution. When the last yellow flag waved it was in the middle of the pit cycle and Johnson just pitted. He was put a lap down but [...]
Chicagoland Geico 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Brad Keselowski – Last year at Chicagoland Keselowski started in 6th and finished 5th. I wouldn’t say he was 5th place good though. His average running position was 11th and benefited when the competition ran out of gas. I like Keselowski in the Geico 400 based off his recent performances at 1.5 mile tracks. He [...]

Richmond Federated Auto Parts 400 Fantasy NASCAR Top Tier Elite Deadline Analysis
Denny Hamlin What to expect / Areas of concern: After qualifying Hamlin said that sometimes he practices good and races poorly at Richmond and other times he practices poorly and wins. Today he said his practice was mediocre. That’s good enough for me because he’s the hottest driver in NASCAR and his track record is [...]
