Dover FedEx 400 Fantasy NASCAR Top Tier Elite Picks

Matt Kenseth – You can’t go wrong if you pick Matt Kenseth at Dover. He’s a natural here. In 1998 he made his series debut subbing for Bill Elliott and finished 6th in his first race! Last fall at Dover Matt Kenseth had problems. He was one of the drivers who was burned by the early caution and than later in the race around lap #300 he was running in 14th but had a broken track bar. In the spring race last year he started in 5th, had a 4th place average running position and finished 3rd. His driver rating in that event was a distant second to Jimmie Johnson’s. In 28 races at Dover Kenseth has 2 wins, 13 top fives and 18 top tens. I would like to add he would’ve won in fall 2007 but his motor blew up at the end. In the FedEx 400 you have to like Matt Kenseth’s fantasy potential. Last fall the Joe Gibbs Toyota’s whipped the field and in 8 out of the last 10 races here he’s finished in the top 4. (Yahoo!

Jimmie Johnson – Jimmie Johnson is a dominant driver at Dover and will enter the race as a favorite. He’s raced here 18 times and has 7 wins, 11 top fives, 16 top tens, a 8.6 average finish and has led 2,318 laps. That lap led average equates out to leading an average of 105 laps per race! Last fall Johnson had a disappointing race and finished 4th. The reason why it was disappointing is because he only led 43 laps. That snapped his seven race streak of leading +157 laps per race. In the race he was slightly better than his 4th place finish. He was going to finish either first or second but what happened is that he had to throttle down at the end to save fuel. In the spring race last year Johnson finished first, led 189 laps, had an average running position of first and was just .2 shy of having a perfect driver rating. Look for Johnson to be an extremely popular pick from fantasy NASCAR experts in the FedEx 400. (Yahoo! A Driver)

Kyle Busch – Last fall at Dover Kyle Busch had the best car. He led 302 laps, had a 1st place average running position but finished 7th. If the race didn’t come down to fuel mileage he likely would’ve won but it’s important to note Jimmie Johnson would’ve been on his heels. Last spring Kyle Busch once again had a very good car. He had a top five run going but he had a loose wheel and shortly after that his motor blew up. If his motor lasted until the end then he would currently have six consecutive top ten finishes. Kyle Busch has raced at Dover sixteen times and has 2 wins, 7 top fives and 10 top tens. As long as he doesn’t have any problems at Dover than he’s a lock for a top five finish. (Yahoo! B Driver)
