Daytona Coke Zero 400 Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings

Joey Logano – If you’re looking for a sleeper pick for the Daytona Coke Zero 400 Joey Logano might be the driver who you want. In the season opening Daytona 500 he started in 19th and finished 21st. In the next three most recent races here he had a 5.3 average finish (second best), scored the second most points and had the third best driver rating. This is the source of his sleeper value. In his first five Daytona races he finished 19th or worse every time. At Talladega Joey Logano has had some success but not much lately. In his first five races there he finished in the top ten 80% percent of the time. One attribute I like about Joey Logano is his momentum. In the last six races he has five top tens and hasn’t finished worse than 11th. (Yahoo! B Driver)

Carl Edwards – During Speed Weeks Carl Edwards crashed just about every time he seen the track. He crashed in testing, he crashed in practice, he crashed in the Shootout and to be consistent he crashed in the Daytona 500 (finished 33rd). In the 500 Carl Edwards didn’t have any high lights. He started in the rear of the field because he was in a backup car (Shootout car he wrecked) and ran around the tail end of the lead lap for his entirety of the event. Between July 2009 and July 2012 Carl Edwards was very good here. In that stretch of races he finished in the top nine every race with the exception of a bump draft gone wrong while in the lead in July 2011. The July race has typically been Edwards better Daytona race. Since July 2007 excluding his 2011 wreck he hasn’t finished worse than 6th and has a 4.4 average finish. At Talladega this season Edwards was competitive. He started on the pole and finished 3rd. (Yahoo! B Driver)

Kasey Kahne – Kasey Kahne potentially had a strong car in the Daytona 500 but he never had a chance to show it. On lap #33 Kyle Busch got into Kahne’s bumper and the “Big One” ensued. A similar incident happened between the two at Talladega as well. At Daytona one specific trend about Kasey Kahne is quite noticeable. That trend is that he typically performs better in the July race. In the last four Daytona 500′s he has a best finish of 25th and an average finish of 30th. In the last four July races he has a worst finish of 15th and an average finish of 7th. In the same stretch of races his average finish is tied with Matt Kenseth for the best in the series. (Yahoo!
