Kansas STP 400 Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions

Ryan Newman – Before Newman wrecked at Kansas in October it appeared that he would finish in the top ten. With #86 laps to go he was battling Kyle Busch for 7th but they had contact and went to the garage together. Before that incident I would estimate that his average running position would be right around 8th. This season on intermedaite tracks Newman hasn’t been a driver who I can trust despite two 10th place finishes. For that reason I would be wary of having him on my team. (Yahoo! B Driver)

Tony Stewart – Last fall on the new Kansas surface Stewart battled for a 5th place finish. In the race he started deep in the field (33rd) and around lap #80 he incurred a speeding penalty. Since he was running around 20th at the time that penalty wasn’t a major set back. Then on lap #165 Stewart had rebounded from his penalty and was running in 11th but he spun on his own while racing Kahne. Then in the last segment of the race (last 40 laps) when a caution came out Stewart elected not to pit and then found himself in second. From there he raced hard and that’s how he got a top five finish with both of his problems. Las Vegas is the most similar track raced at this season and in that race Stewart finished 11th. I think Stewart is a high risk driver this week coming off his Texas performance. (Yahoo! A Driver)

Jamie McMurray – McMurray has been a mid pack driver this year, especially on intermediate tracks. Las Vegas is a similar track that’s also multi-grooved like Kansas and in that race he started in the rear of the field and finished 13th. At Texas McMurray appeared to have a top ten car but pit road problems took away a good finish. Last year at Kansas McMurray struggled for much of the race. In the last half of the event though he looked better and ended up finishing 15th. (Yahoo! B Driver)
