Indianapolis Personal / Comparative Fantasy NASCAR Values

Drivers have two types of fantasy value every week. They have Personal Fantasy Value, and Comparative Fantasy Value.

Personal Fantasy Value is an estimation of how good the driver is at a certain track compared to the other venues on the circuit.

Comparative Fantasy Value is an estimation of how good the driver compares to the competition at a certain track.

Let’s talk about Tony Stewart’s fantasy values at Indy.

His Personal Fantasy Value is high. It’s a great track for him and ranks as one of his best. He’s won here twice, has finished in the top five 41% percent of the time and in the top ten 65% percent of the time. Last year he had his worst finish ever at Indy but you can put an Asterisk Mark next to his result.

His Comparative Fantasy Value is Medium-High. I expect him to run well but I don’t think he’ll be quite at the upper echelon of performers on Sunday.
