1. Kyle Busch – The spring race at Richmond is Kyle Busch’s race to lose. He’s won the last four consecutive spring races and never finished outside the top five in spring. In the fall races Kyle Busch has also been impressive with the exception of when he’s racing under pressure. On Saturday night he’ll [...]

Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Richmond – Toyota Owners 400
Can Kenseth Make It Back-to-Back Wins? The Cup series is at Richmond International Raceway for the Toyota Owners 400 this weekend–the first of two stops at this track in 2013. The weekend schedule was really condensed, as we had two practice sessions on Friday afternoon followed by qualifying later on. What I don’t like this [...]

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 [...]
Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Richmond 2 – Federated Auto Parts 400
A Weekend For Sleepers? In my opinion, it’s really hard to judge who will be fast in a night race when all of the practice was held during the day, but that’s what we have to work with this week. In case you missed the Average Practice Speeds post, you can view it by clicking [...]

Average Practice Speeds: Richmond 2 – Federated Auto Parts 400
NASCAR gave us a very tight schedule to work with this weekend. There were two practice sessions on Friday afternoon that were separated by a mere 30 minutes, and qualifying is set to be held around 5:30 on ESPN2. The Federated Auto Parts 400 is set to start around 7:30 pm on Saturday evening, but I’m hearing [...]
NASCAR Total Driver Power Rankings: Richmond 2 – Federated Auto Parts 400
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 [...]
Drivers to avoid in the Richmond Federated Auto Parts 400
Regan Smith – Richmond hasn’t been a good track for Smith. In eight races he’s only finished in the top twenty twice. Both of his top twenties came in last season’s races (17th in spring, 18th in fall). His 25.1 average finish isn’t skewed. In 7 of his 8 races he’s finished between 17th and [...]
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 [...]
Richmond Federated Auto Parts 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Top Tier Elite” Picks
Denny Hamlin – Richmond is Denny Hamlin’s home track and he’s always been impressive here. Since his first start when he finished 2nd with an injured arm to this spring when he finished 4th there’s no question he’s a “Top Tier Elite” driver. Heading into the Federated Auto Parts 400 with back to back wins [...]

Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Richmond – Capital City 400
“Epic Swag” Looking Good We’re going to have some good old fashioned Saturday night racing tomorrow night, so it’s fitting that Mark Martin and that #55 Toyota are fast…again. Just like in Phoenix, “Epic Swag” grabbed the pole for Saturday night’s race. Carl Edwards will start 2nd, followed by Kevin Harvick and the sudden qualifying [...]
Average Practice Speeds: Richmond – Capital City 400
Well, this week the practice speeds may not be as helpful as we would like. The Capital City 400 is set to start around 7:45 pm on Saturday night, and the two practice sessions were held in the heat of the afternoon (first practice started at noon, Happy Hour at 2:30). Qualifying will be held [...]
Richmond Capital City 400: Drivers to avoid
Regan Smith – Last year Regan Smith recorded his two best finishes at Richmond. In the spring race he crossed the finish line in 17th and in the fall race he finished 18th. I predict a finish around 20th should be expected. This year at Phoenix (similar track) Smith qualified 3rd and finished 20th. (Yahoo! [...]
