Homestead-Miami Ford EcoBoost 400: Fantasy NASCAR “Front Runner” Rankings
Brad Keselowski – Brad Keselowski won’t be going for the win this weekend in the Ford EcoBoost 400. He started points racing at Phoenix and it’s silly to think he won’t do that on Sunday. This team will take four tires every pit stop and won’t do any fuel mileage gambles. The reason why he’s now the points leader is because of his consistency. His worst finish in the Chase is 11th and his average finish is 6th. At 1.5 mile tracks this year Keselowski has been very good. He’s won two races at tracks of this length and has finished in the top five in half the races. Only Jimmie Johnson has finished in the top five more than him. Keselowski hasn’t had success at Homestead but I wouldn’t worry about that. Remember he’s not racing a stats book. Last year the Blue Deuce wasn’t bad here. His 20th place finish is deceiving. He had a 9th place average running position led 11 laps. His downfall was the teams pit strategy. (Yahoo! A Driver)
Jeff Gordon – Jeff Gordon had a really good car at Homestead last year. He finished 5th and had a 6th place average running position. His car was particularly good in the first third of the race. In that segment his average running position was probably about third (Yahoo! Race Chart). All year-long at 1.5 mile tracks like Homestead Jeff Gordon has been good. His finishes don’t always reflect how well he’s performed but as long as bad luck doesn’t affect him he’ll finish in the top ten. I don’t think the Clint Bowyer incident at Phoenix will have an impact in the season finale. Him and Bowyer will be under a microscope and so nothing will happen. (Yahoo! A Driver)

Kevin Harvick – Homestead-Miami is a Kevin Harvick track. He always runs good here and is fast in the high-line. In last years race he finished 8th and used lots of pit strategy throughout the event. In the three previous Homestead races he had finishes of 3rd, 3rd and 2nd. This Sunday in the Ford EcoBoost 400 I think he’ll be about a 10th place driver. This season at 1.5 mile tracks he’s been a consistent finisher around that mark. His average finish for the season at these venues is 10.2 and that ranks as the 6th best (tied with Kahne). Now that he has a win under his belt he’ll have a little more pep in his step this weekend. (Yahoo! A Driver)
