None come to my mind. He’s done a remarkable job avoiding problems on the track in 2010. Also lets not forget he’s been pretty good on restrictor plate tracks this year and has won two out of the three races.
Jeff Gordon (Pretender) – The Chase hasn’t been nice to Jeff Gordon and neither has Talladega in recent years. Jeff Gordon won the first COT race at Talladega but since then he hasn’t finished better than 19th. His average finish in the last five races here is 27.2.
Kurt Busch (Contender) – Surviving the big one can be a tough task for many NASCAR drivers. Kurt Busch has never won at Talladega, but I don’t think that’s what is important to fantasy racers this weekend. Fantasy racers just don’t want their picks to crash. In nineteen races at NASCAR’s biggest track Kurt Busch has finished in the top ten thirteen times. At one point in his career he had seven straight top eight finishes.
Denny Hamlin (Pretender) – In the last nine Talladega races Hamlin’s finished in the top five three times. In his other six races he finished 20th or worse. When Hamlin comes down to Alabama he comes to race. What will he do this time, race or ride in the back?
Jimmie Johnson (Contender) – Guess who has the best five year average at Talladega? That’s right its Jimmie Johnson. Johnson races the spring and fall Talladega races differently. In the spring Jimmie decides to race, and in the fall he waits to strike. In the last three spring races his average finish is 24.6. His average finish in the last three fall races is 5.6.
Greg Biffle (Pretender) – Greg Biffle runs into trouble a lot at Talladega. He’s also run into his fair share of problems in the Chase. He’s lucky Clint Bowyer was penalized at New Hampshire other wise he would be dead last in the Chase standings. Despite his two recent top tens at Talladega I would highly recommend you avoid Biffle this race.
