Kansas Hollywood Casino 400 Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings
Clint Bowyer – Clint Bowyer is the top ranked Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings driver for the Kansas Hollywood Casino 400. This is his home track and he’s been a very consistent performer. On the new surface at Kansas he has finishes of 6th and 5th. Those two impressive finishes make him one of four drivers who’ve finished in the top six in both races on the new surface. Earlier this year at Kansas he had a very solid race. He started in 10th, had a 7th place average running position, finished 5th and earned the 5th best driver rating. Last fall he once again had a solid performance. He started in 3rd, finished 6th and had a 6th place average running position. In the race he also earned the third best driver rating and ran the highest percentage of laps inside the top fifteen (96.9%). This season on 1.5 mile tracks minus Atlanta where he blew up while leading and Las Vegas where he struggled in the Gen6 debut on this track type he has a 8.0 average finish and a 9.6 average running position.

Kevin Harvick – This season on 1.5 mile intermediate tracks the #29 team has been strong. They have 1 win, an 8.1 average finish and a 9.7 average running position. One of his greatest most overlooked strengths on venues like this is the safety picking him provides. On tracks of this length he’s just one of two drivers who’ve finished in the top fifteen every race. If you pick him I don’t think he’ll contend for the win but he’ll certainly grab you a solid finish and bring his car home in one piece. Earlier this year at Kansas Harvick drove a good clean race. He finished 12th but in my opinion his car was better than that. What happened is that late in the event he elected to go for four tires and almost everybody else did two. In the race he earned the 6th best driver rating and had an 8th place average running position. Last fall at Kansas he finished 11th but it’s important to note he had a 16th place average running position and earned the 18th best driver rating. (Yahoo A Driver)

Kyle Busch – Kansas has long been a tough track for Kyle Busch. For whatever reason he can never catch a break here. Even if he has a good race something such as David Reutimann going kamikaze on him is likely to surface. Kansas is also the only track on the schedule that he’s never finished in the top five. The surface change at Kansas hasn’t changed his fortunes. Earlier this year at Kansas it looked like he would have a promising performance but his race went south quickly. On lap 5 he was running in 3rd but he spun on his own. Later in the race he was running in the low twenties but he spun again and this time he collected Joey Logano and got fatal damage to the #18. Last fall at Kansas he had a good car but finished 31st. In the race he ran as high as second but around lap 40 he spun on his own and didn’t sustain any damage. He was able to rebound from that and later in the race found himself in the top ten again. With 86 laps to go he was battling Newman for 7th but they got together and wrecked. This season on 1.5 mile tracks he’s been a phenomenal performer as long as he avoids problems. Minus the races at Charlotte and Kansas he has 2 wins, a 2.8 average finish and has had a result in the top 5 every race. Heading into the Hollywood Casino 400 Kyle Busch has one advantage on much of the field. Goodyear is rolling out a new tire for this race and he participated in the test of the new tread.
