How to go about making a fantasy NASCAR pick at Charlotte
The #1 variable I would look for in a fantasy NASCAR pick at Charlotte is a driver who’s been successful at high-speed intermediate tracks this year. That means I would look back and see who ran well at Texas, Atlanta, Auto Club, Las Vegas and Kansas. Texas and Atlanta are the most similar of the two so I would put the most fantasy stock in those races.
Next you want a driver who has a successful track history at Charlotte. In terms of doing your fantasy research on this I would recommend checking out our Driver Pages. It has helpful links that will help point you in the right direction. Those pages are pretty cool also. It’s a hidden gem of ifantasyrace.com in my opinion.
Also at Charlotte you want to pick a driver who practices well. Perhaps the most important practice session this weekend might be practice #2 on Saturday morning. The track temperatures from that session will likely be close to what it will be in the late stages of the race Sunday night. This week practice might be a little different than normal. Drivers will likely not be pushing their cars hard and will be looking to have a car with comfort and adjustability. Teams will also be counting miles on engines. If you’re a new fantasy racer ifantasyrace.com has you covered on this because we quickly publish practice notes and practice speeds from every session.
Starting up front is important at Charlotte but keep in mind that the Coca Cola 600 is 400 laps! Drivers will have time to maneuver up through the running order. That said you don’t necessarily want to go out of your way picking drivers who start in the back unless in your in a fantasy league like DraftKings which rewards points for place differential / passing differential.
Last fall at Charlotte 7 of the top 11 finishers started in the top 11.
