Charlotte Bank Of America 500 Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions

Greg Biffle – This spring Greg Biffle looked pretty sporty at Charlotte. In the Sprint Showdown he raced his way into the All-Star Race. In the Coca Cola 600 he had one of his best races of the season. Performance wise I think he was right around 10th place good but when fuel entered the equation he was able to go the distance and finish 2nd. In the race Biffle started 4th, had a 10th place average running position and earned the 11th best driver rating. Can he repeat that success? I really wouldn’t bet on it. Typically at these venues in 2015 he’s been about a 15th to 25th place performer. In the three Charlotte races prior to this springs event he had an 18.3 average finish, 19.3 average running position and the 23rd best driver rating. Last fall he was a non-factor. When the checkered flag waved he finished 18th, had a 21st place average running position and earned the 21st best driver rating. In spring 2014 he wasn’t any better. He started in 24th, earned the 22nd best driver rating, had a 21st place average running position and finished 21st. About the highest he got in the running order all race long was about 18th. In fall 2013 at Charlotte he was a mid-pack performer. He started in 3rd but by lap 40 he was already outside the top ten. After that point he never ran in the top ten again except during pit cycles. The most important number you need to know about Biffle’s performance from that race is his car number. He finished 16th, had a 16th place average running position and earned the 16th best driver rating. (Yahoo B Driver)

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. –  In recent weeks Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has been a pleasant surprise. In the last four races his average finish is 13.75. 1.5 mile tracks like Charlotte have not been good tracks for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. this season. Using the 2015 standard rules package he’s finished lower than 29th half the time and has a 25.8 average finish. This spring he had a tough race at Charlotte and got into the wall multiple times. While he was running in the high-teens with 64 laps to go he got into the wall hard which led to him going to the garage area. Following his incident he said he hit his brakes but the pedal went to the floor. When the checkered flag waved he finished 37th. Last year at Charlotte Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finished 3 laps down in both events and had results in the mid-twenties. Last fall he had a poor performance. He finished 24th, had a 27th place average running position and earned the 27th best driver rating. In spring 2014 he wasn’t even close to being competitive. He started in 23rd, had a 25th place average running position and finished 26th. In three of his four starts prior to 2014 he finished between 11th and 14th. (Yahoo B Driver)

Tony Stewart – I’m not sure if anything good can come from picking Tony Stewart at Charlotte. At 1.5 mile tracks he’s been really bad this year. In four of the seven races he’s finished in the 30’s. At these venues his average finish is 29.3 and his average running position is 24.1. One positive spin on him is that this spring at Charlotte he had his best result at a track of this length. In the race he finished 21st, had a 22nd place average running position and earned the 22nd best driver rating. Last fall at Charlotte he also finished 21st. In the race he started in 4th and ran well for the first 100 laps but after that he never really ran better than 17th. Over last 120 laps I would estimate his average running position was around 22nd. In spring 2014 he had a steady incident free performance. He started in 18th, had a 15th place average running position and finished 13th. From about lap 140 to the end he typically ran within a +5/-5 deviation from 13th. In fall 2013 Stewart missed the race due to injury. In the 2013 Coca Cola 600 his car peaked at the end of the event. In that race he started 25th, had a 16th place average running position and finished 7th. In fall 2012 he finished 13th. (Yahoo B Driver)
