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 [...]
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 “Front Runner” Rankings
Clint Bowyer – Clint Bowyer had a good car in April. During the final restart he was in third but he got caught up in his “Hail Mary” move and finished 10th. After Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson it’s easy to make the case he had the third best car. His driver rating was the [...]
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 “Front Runner” Rankings
Kasey Kahne – Kasey Kahne had a good car in June but he wasn’t as good as his Hendrick teammates. He finished 9th and had a 12th place average running position. Last fall he had his only top five finish at this speedway. In 17 Dover races he’s only finished in the top ten in [...]
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: 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 “Front Runner” Rankings
Kasey Kahne – Last year at Chicagoland Kasey Kahne finished 12th, but he wasn’t that good. Up until about 5 laps to go he ran 99% percent of the race outside the top 18. Proof of that is his Yahoo! Race Chart and his 25th place average running position. His next three most recent Chicago [...]

Richmond Federated Auto Parts 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Front Runner” Rankings
Brad Keselowski – Keselowski had his best finish at Richmond this spring. He finished 9th and had the 11th best driver rating (84.4). In the last five Richmond races he’s been consistent here. In four of them he’s finished between 9th and 15th. In the Federated Auto Parts 400 I think Keselowski is capable of [...]
