Pocono 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Front Runner” Rankings

Kasey Kahne -Kasey Kahne has a 17th place average finish at Pocono but he’s much better at the “Tricky Triangle” than that. He’s a former winner and he almost always starts up front (track position is crucial at Pocono). At Pocono he’s won two poles and has a 8.9 average start. Now that he’s in top tier equipment look for him to contend for the pole and finish in the top ten. In April Kasey Kahne tested on the new surface at Pocono. This should prove to be an advantage for the #5 team. Kasey Kahne has lots of momentum right now, no driver has scored more points then him in the last five races. (Yahoo! B Driver)

Greg Biffle – In 2010 Greg Biffle drove his #16 Ford to victory lane at Pocono. His win was a complete surprise. It was a shocker because it was his first top ten at Pocono since 2006. Last August Biffle finished 8th. He had a problem early and drove his way up threw the field (Yahoo! race chart). In the June 2011 race he finished 27th but his car had top 15 potential (spun). Pocono is a horsepower track and his Roush Fenway Ford is not lacking in this department. (Yahoo! B Driver)

Martin Truex Jr. – SLEEPER ALERT! In the last three Pocono races Truex has finished 9th, 10th and 12th. With the way he’s been running this year I expect a lot out of him. Anything worse than 10th should be considered a disappointment. His best Pocono race was in 2007 when he started 3rd and finished 3rd. (Yahoo! B Driver)
