Clint Bowyer – Last October at Charlotte Motor Speedway Clint Bowyer went the distance on his tank of fuel and won. If the race didn’t come down to fuel mileage than he likely would’ve finished around 5th. From a historical perspective Charlotte hasn’t been a great track for him. He’s only finished in the top [...]

Auto Club 400 Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions
Ryan Newman – The Rocketman has been less than stellar this season. When you combine that with his Las Vegas performance (before he blew up, missed a shift) then he’s looking like a somewhat risky pick. Last year at Auto Club Newman was good. He finished 7th and had a 7th place average running position. [...]
Auto Club 400 Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings
Tony Stewart – Tony Stewart has been very good at Auto Club Speedway recently. He’s won two out of the last three races and since 2009 he has a 6.2 average finish. Last year at Fontana Stewart was very impressive. He started back in 9th and charged his way to the front. In my mind [...]

His plate racing success is somewhat “sporadic”. Another strength of Junior’s is Hendrick [...]

Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Homestead – Ford EcoBoost 400 (2012 Chase Race #10)
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. Will Clint Bowyer inflict payback on Jeff Gordon? Will there be teams testing out certain things for next season, and will those experimental setups last all [...]
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. What’s unfortunate is that was when the most action occurred, with Denny Hamlin and Greg Biffle getting together and collecting pole-sitter Joey Logano. All [...]
NASCAR Total Driver Power Rankings: Homestead – Ford EcoBoost 400 (2012 Chase Race #10)
New to ifantasyrace in 2012, the Total Driver Power Rankings will be a weekly post that is similar to ESPN’s Total QB Rating for the NFL. This isn’t a normal power rankings chart, nor is it a prediction for the upcoming race, but rather a combination of the two. Taken into account to arrive at [...]
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 [...]
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. Also, add into the mix that the tires aren’t falling off at all, and we have [...]
Average Practice Speeds: Phoenix 2 – Advocare 500 (2012 Chase Race #9)
Phoenix was re-configured and re-paved during the 2011 season and this Sunday’s Advocare 500 will be just the third event on the new surface. The Cup cars were on track for two different sessions on Saturday, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Happy Hour was the practice that had the conditions closest [...]
