Darlington Bojangles Southern 500 Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions

Tony Stewart – Tony Stewart has never won at Darlington and the way he’s performed this season it doesn’t look like this will be the year he visits victory lane either. In his career at the Lady In Black he has an 11.8 average finish and has had a result in the top twelve 68% percent of the time. Stewart has done a good job finishing well at Darlington recently. In three of the last four races he’s finished in the top ten. Last year Stewart wasn’t competitive but walked away with a misleading 9th place finish. It should be noted in the race he had a 23rd place average running position and earned the 19th best driver rating. That good finish is the product of late pit strategy. Here’s his Yahoo Race Chart to give you a better idea about his level of performance. In 2013 he was mediocre. He finished 15th, had a 12th place average running position and earned the 14th best driver rating. In 2012 he finished 3rd which tied his best Darlington finish. In that race he had an 8th place average running position and earned the 8th best driver rating. In 2011 he finished 7th. (Yahoo B Driver)

Aric Almirola – Aric Almirola has been in three races at Darlington and in every event he’s finished between 19th and 24th. Last year he started in 3rd but he didn’t stay up front for long. When the race reached lap 100 he fell back to about 26th. From that point of the race until its conclusion he essentially ran within a 4 deviation of that position. When the checkered flag waved he finished 24th. In 2013 he finished 20th. That’s pretty representative of how he performed. In the race he started in 18th, ran 0 laps in the top fifteen, had a 23rd place average running position and earned the 23rd best driver rating. In the event nothing notable happened to him. In 2012 he had a pretty similar afternoon and finished one spot better in 19th. In that race he started in 13th, had a 21st place average running position, earned the 23rd best driver rating and he only ran in the top fifteen in 5.2% percent of the laps completed.

AJ Allmendinger – When AJ Allmendinger has an incident free race at Darlington he’s usually good for a 15th to 20th place finish. In three of the last five races at this venue he’s finished within that range. Last year on paper he had his best Darlington race ever. Keep in mind the bar is pretty low. In the race he started 18th, had a 22nd place average running position and finished 15th. It should be noted that he only ran 1.9% percent of the laps in the top fifteen. In 2013 he missed the race because he was without a ride. In the five Darlington races prior to that he had results of 33rd, 20th, 37th, 17th and 27th. (Yahoo B Driver)
