Phoenix AdvoCare 500: Fantasy NASCAR “Mid Pack” Projections

Marcos Ambrose – Marcos Ambrose had a good car in March. With 19 laps to go he was running in third but then his engine gave way. This lead to a 32nd place finish. Last fall in the inaugural race on the new surface he started in 3rd and finished 8th. In the AdvoCare 500 Ambrose has potential but I don’t think you can count on him. This team hasn’t been competitive since the end of August. A good day for this team in the last quarter of the season is a 15th place finish. (Yahoo! B Driver)

Carl Edwards – Last fall in the inaugural race on the new layout Edwards finished 2nd and earned the second best driver rating (123.6). In March he wasn’t as good. He had a 6th to 10th place car but he ended up finishing in 17th. With 57 laps to go he was racing Ryan Newman for sixth but they got together and Newman was taken out. Then late in the race when the checkered flag was in sight he ran out of gas. The #99 team was more competitive at the start of the season. Now they look like a teen’s finisher week in and week out. I think his likely finish range is 14th to 19th. (Yahoo! A Driver)

Sam Hornish Jr. – Sam Hornish Jr. should have a solid race at Phoenix. Last fall in the Nationwide race he was the first winner on the new surface. This March in the lower series race he finished 6th. From a historical perspective I’ve viewed shorter flat tracks like Phoenix among his best track type. Richmond is the most similar track he’s raced at this year and in September he finished 11th. (Yahoo! C Driver)
