Spring 2016
DraftKings Richmond Fantasy NASCAR Lessons Learned
- This spring at Richmond in order to score big drivers had to finish near the front. The top nine scorers all finished in the top ten.
- There wasn’t a significant amount of “Movers” who were near the top of the point chart. Of the top ten scorers only two of them would be classified as “Mover / Good Finish.”
- Picking drivers who started near the front wasn’t anything to be ashamed about. The top six scorers all started in the top 9. Only 3 drivers who started in the top ten weren’t ranked among the top ten scorers (Logano, Keselowski and Allmendinger).
- Drivers who would be described as “Super Cheap” didn’t fair well. The highest was David Ragan and he scored the 17th most points (29 points).
Fall 2015
DraftKings Richmond Fantasy NASCAR Lessons Learned
- Matt Kenseth was an Elite Dominator in this race. He led 352 laps and had 106 fastest laps.
- To score big drivers had to finish near the front. The top six scorers all finished in the top six. 13 of the top 14 scorers finished in the top 14. The one driver who bucked that trend was Sam Hornish Jr. who made an unexpected pit which got him fresh tires which allowed him to get a good amount of fastest laps.
- Starting near the front wasn’t an advantage in the points column in this event. 7 of the top 10 scorers started 23rd or worse.
- Drivers who started near the front and didn’t notch a high amount of “Dominator” points scored somewhere in the 30 point range which would rank them just outside the top ten in terms of points accumulation.
- Drivers who you would consider to be of the “Super Cheap Tier” didn’t fair well. The highest scorer was Landon Cassill and he only scored 19 points.
