Talladega Aaron’s 499 Practice #1 Notes
General Practice Consensus – It seems that everyone expects qualifying to be rained out tomorrow. If that happens the practice speeds from this session will set the qualifying order. Denny Hamlin – He’s returning this week and drove the #11 early in practice. He basically just drove by himself getting the feel of things. In the [...]
Fantasy Racing PROS Rankings – Talladega
PROS is an acronym for Projected Ranking Of Strength. What’s projected in this post is how good drivers were the last time they raced at Talladega (fall 2012). In fantasy racing you can’t just look at a drivers finish position and believe that’s how good they were. Things happen in races and the PROS Ratings [...]
Talladega Aaron’s 499 Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions
Carl Edwards – I don’t like the way Carl Edwards has raced on restrictor plate tracks lately. He rides around back in the pack and waits until the “Big One” ensues before he makes his move. I think that’s just a recipe for disaster on this track type. It also certainly hasn’t worked out very [...]
Talladega Aaron’s 499 Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings
Jimmie Johnson – The last three Talladega races haven’t been the best for Jimmie Johnson. In these races he’s finished 17th, 35th and 26th. Prior to those three races he was in the midst of a good streak at this Wild Card venue. Between his 2011 win and 2006 win he had seven top tens [...]
Talladega Aaron’s 499 Fantasy NASCAR Top Tier Elite Picks
Matt Kenseth – Matt Kenseth is currently the best driver on restrictor plate tracks. Last season on this track type he had two wins and finished in the top five every race. At Talladega last season he was very impressive. In the spring race he led the most laps (73) and finished 3rd. In the [...]

Post Practice Fantasy NASCAR Predictions: Talladega 2 – Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500 (2012 Chase Race #4)
One Last Wildcard I’d hate to say that qualifying and practice mean nothing this weekend, but I’d hate to lie to you, too. The races at Talladega and Daytona are called wildcards for a reason: anyone can win. And I mean anyone. Things that I value more than practice speeds and qualifying efforts this week [...]
Talladega Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500 Fantasy NASCAR Post Qualifying Contenders
Clint Bowyer What to expect / Areas of concern: Clint Bowyer has been the best driver at Talladega recently. He’s won the last two fall races and has five consecutive top tens. One attribute you have to love about Clint Bowyer is his consistency. Since the second Talladega race of 2007 he’s only finished lower [...]

Average Practice Speeds: Talladega 2 – Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500 (2012 Chase Race #4)
If there’s one place that you can skip practice at, it’s Talladega–and that’s what many teams did on Friday. There were many teams that ran a few laps early in the day to make sure nothing was wrong with the car and then parked and will wait for qualifying on Saturday. As a fantasy racer, [...]
NASCAR Total Driver Power Rankings: Talladega 2 – Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500 (2012 Chase Race #4)
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 [...]
