Drivers To Avoid For The Kansas Hollywood Casino 400
Jamie McMurray – On high speed intermediate tracks McMurray is good for a 14th to 25th place performance. On this track type this season he’s finished within that range in every race with the exception of the first two (Las Vegas & Auto Club). You shouldn’t expect any better than this given parameter. The #1 team has really struggled this season. His last top ten was in June and his last top fifteen was at Michigan in August (14th). (Yahoo! B Driver)
Lots of unknowns at Kansas. Get the ifantasyrace advantage to get the edge on your competition.
AJ Allmendinger – In April at Kansas AJ started on the pole, led 44 laps but was sidelined with engine problems. He’s no longer with Penske so you can forget about that performance. Kurt Busch wasn’t that bad though in the #51. He was actually pretty good. He ran a lot of laps in the top ten but in the last 50 laps they he had a mysterious loss of power. His average running position for the afternoon was 11th. At Charlotte AJ Allmendinger had his first race for Finch. He started in 38th and finished 24th. I expect a slightly better performance at Kansas. (Yahoo! B Driver)

Jeff Burton – I would avoid Burton this week. At high speed intermediate tracks this season he’s consistently been a high teens to mid twenties performer. The four races this season that I have the most fantasy stock in for this race are the two Michigan races, the April Kansas race and the recent Chicagoland race. In these races he has a 21.5 average finish and a 21.8 average running position. Also in these races he’s ran just 8% of the laps in the top fifteen. Burton’s track record at Kansas isn’t anything to get excited about. In the last five races all of his finishes have been between 18th and 25th. (Yahoo! B Driver)
Juan Pablo Montoya – Not much should be expected out of Montoya in this race. He finished 12th in spring but this team is nowhere near competitive. In the last fourteen races this season he’s only finished better than 20th twice and one of them was a 19th place finish last week. From July onward this team has a 22.25 average finish at high speed intermediate tracks. In August at Michigan Montoya started in 25th and finished 26th. I wouldn’t want to pick him for the Hollywood Casino 400. (Yahoo! B Driver)
David Ragan – Ragan has struggled on this track type all season long and Sunday will be no exception. The Front Row Racing team is small and the track changes will throw them for an even bigger loop than the competition. In April at Kansas Ragan started in 27th and finished 30th. His average running position was 31st and he ran just 1.5% percent of the laps in the top fifteen. Michigan was freshly repaved recently and at both races at that venue this year he’s finished 23rd.

Bobby Labonte – Labonte hasn’t just been bad at Kansas, he’s been terrible. He’s never finished in the top fifteen and his average finish is 29.5. In the last seven races his best finish is 24th and he’s earned a 44.6 driver rating. Some notable drivers who have also competed in the last seven races who have a better driver rating are Dave Blaney, Casey Mears, and David Reutimann. I think a likely projected finish for him in this race is between 22nd and 30th. (Yahoo! C Driver)
