Charlotte Bank of America 500 Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings

Clint Bowyer – Last fall at Charlotte Clint Bowyer went the distance on his tank of fuel and won. If the race didn’t come down to fuel mileage than he likely would’ve finished around 5th. This spring he backed up that performance with an 8th place finish. Also in the race earlier this year he started in 5th, had a 9th place average running position and earned the 6th best driver rating. From a career perspective Charlotte has been an OK track for him. He has a 15.8 average finish but has only had a result in the top ten in just a third of his races. This season on 1.5 mile tracks when he’s avoided problems he’s been a strong performer. In the last two night races on this track type he’s had results of 9th (Chicagoland) and 39th (Atlanta). His poor finish at Atlanta deserves an asterisk mark because what happened to him is that his engine blew up while he was leading. (Yahoo A Driver)

Carl Edwards – Charlotte Motor Speedway has been a good venue for Carl Edwards. He has an 11.9 average finish and has had a result in the top ten 59% percent of the time. In the last four Charlotte races he has a 7.5 average finish and hasn’t had a result worse than 11th. Earlier this season at Charlotte he had a good performance. He wasn’t a contender for the win but he had an all-around solid showing. In the race he started in 13th, had a 9th place average running position, earned the 8th best driver rating and finished 11th. In the race I though his car was slightly better than his result. This season on 1.5 mile tracks Edwards has been a consistent finisher but the performance level of his car has typically been between 8th and 15th. I think there’s better fantasy options available for the Charlotte Bank of America 500. Make sure you check out our Top Tier Elite post to find out who those drivers are. (Yahoo B Driver)

Brad Keselowski – Last fall at Charlotte Brad Keselowski had the best car in the field. He earned my #1 PROS Ranking and finished a misleading 11th. In the race he led 139 laps, had a 7th place average running position and earned the third best driver rating. If he didn’t run out of gas while leading late then I think he would’ve won the race. In last year’s Coca Cola 600 he finished 5th and had a 10th place average running position. In May Keselowski had a disappointing performance at Charlotte. With 82 laps to go he was involved in a wreck with Danica Patrick and went on to finish 36th. Before he wrecked in the race he didn’t run well. His car was stuck back in the 20′s for the majority of the event. In the race he had a 22nd place average running position and only ran in the top fifteen in 3.5% percent of the laps completed. Recently on 1.5 mile tracks Keselowski has been showing some Logano like speed. He finished 7th at Chicagoland and at Atlanta his engine blew up while he was leading. At Kansas he had a good car but when he ran out of gas his race was over. (Yahoo A Driver)
