Let’s talk about Kurt Busch’s fantasy values for Atlanta.

Kurt Busch’s Personal Fantasy Value is High. Atlanta is a great track for him and it ranks among his best. He’s won here three-times and since 2010 he has the best average finish (6.4) and hasn’t had a result below 13th.

Kurt Busch Comparative Fantasy Value is Medium-High. I have no question about his talent level, but I have plenty of questions about his equipment. The manufacture change and SHR’s new in-house chassis will really be on display this weekend and there might be cause for concern. At Daytona, Rodney Childers (teammate Harvick’s crew chief) was interviewed and it sounded like he felt they were behind with their intermediate track program. I’m going to heed that warning sign.
