Atlanta Advocare 500 Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings

Brian Vickers – Brian Vickers hasn’t raced at Atlanta since 2011, but I’m expecting a good performance from him in the Advocare 500. His best tracks have historically been high-speed intermediate tracks where the high-line comes into play. Atlanta fits both of those strengths perfectly. Since fall 2007 Vickers has been very strong here. In six of the last seven Atlanta races he’s finished 11th or better. This season in the #55 he’s only raced on a 1.5 mile track once (Kentucky). In that race he was running in the top ten until he had problems with about 20 laps to go. Another source of my optimism in Vickers is how strong his teammates performed last season. I would highly recommend you read their content in our Top Tier Elite Pick post. (Yahoo! B Driver)

Joey Logano – Atlanta has been a nightmare for Joey Logano. He has a 26.0 average finish and has only cracked the top twenty once. Last season he had his best result and finished 18th. In the event he had the 17th best driver rating and a 17th place average running position. In the Atlanta Advocrare 500 I’m expecting him to have his best finish. After all it shouldn’t be to difficult to beat an 18th. What I like about him is that Penske Cars have been strong here. Kurt Busch has won races here, Brad Keselowski has been good and even Sam Hornish Jr. finished 7th. On high-speed intermediates tracks this season he’s been a phenomenal performer. He’s the most recent winner on this track type and minus his wreck at Kansas he has a 5.0 average finish and has finished in the top ten every race but one. Don’t overlook Logano this week just because of his poor average finish. (Yahoo! B Driver)

Dale Earnhardt Jr. – Last year at Atlanta Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 7th. That finish deserves an asterisk mark because he wasn’t that good. For much of the race he was at least 1 lap down. At one point in the race he was even two laps down. In the race he started in 35th, had a 17th place average running position and earned the 14th best driver rating. Prior to last season’s event he went six races without a top ten. In the four most recent races in that span he finished 15th or lower every race. From a historical perspective Atlanta has been a good track for him. He’s a former winner and has a 12.5 average finish. This season on 1.5 mile tracks Dale Earnhardt Jr. has had some good performances but has a disappointing 20.6 average finish. It would be much better but at Texas he had problems while running well and at Charlotte he had engine problems. (Yahoo! B Driver)
