Yahoo C List Fantasy NASCAR Preview – Indy Jeff Kyle 400
Chase Elliott – Chase Elliott will be returning behind the wheel of the #25 Hendrick Chevrolet at Indy. This season he has three starts under his belt and in his last two events he’s finished 16th and 18th. I really like the car underneath him this week. Hendrick builds superior cars and at this venue it shows. Last year in the Xfinity Series at Indy he started 5th, had an 8th place average running position and finished 12th.

Danica Patrick – Danica Patrick could be a surprise driver at Indy. She has a strong motor under her hood and that’s a large part of finding success here. Last year she ran quite well but her afternoon wasn’t incident free. On lap 68 she was running in 13th but when she left her pit stall she broke her rear axle. Shortly after that she limped out on the track and brought out a caution during the pit cycle. When the checkered flag waved she finished 46 laps down in 42nd. In her first Indy Cup race she was very uncompetitive. She started in 33rd, finished 30th, had a 30th place average running position and earned the 29th best driver rating. At Pocono this spring Patrick was competitive. With 26 laps to go she was running in 11th but she had a right rear go flat and got into the wall.
Ryan Blaney – If you feel like rolling the dice consider Ryan Blaney. He’s run well and has been fast but he’s also been snake bitten with bad luck. Outside of Talladega in his “major incident free” races he’s finished between 19th and 24th every race. If he can have an incident free race at Indy I think he could compete for a top fifteen.
David Ragan – Indy has been difficult on David Ragan. He finished in the teens in his first two races here but since then he’s finished 20th or worse. In his last three races here when he drove the 34 car he had a 32.3 average finish. That car was so uncompetitive you can probably void his results. In his last three races here in the #6 car which is probably pretty close to the #55 car performance wise he finished in the low twenties. At Pocono earlier this season David Ragan was a low twenties performer and finished 23rd. I expect him to have a similar afternoon at Indy. One attribute I like about David Ragan is that he’s been running better in recent weeks.
Justin Allgaier – Justin Allgaier might be able to come home with a decent result in his tier of drivers. I base that off how he’s run at Pocono recently. In the last two races at the “Tricky Triangle” he’s come home with results of 16th and 20th. Pocono is similar with its big long straightaways and even one of the turns is shaped after Indy. At the Brickyard Allgaier has one start under his belt and that came in last year’s event. In 2014 he had a 23rd place average running position, earned the 26th best driver rating and finished 27th.
