Fantasy NASCAR Asterisk Mark Report – Auto Club Speedway
Every week in NASCAR there’s drivers who have problems in the race and walk away with an asterisk mark result. Understanding misleading finishes and knowing how good drivers truly were can help give you the edge on your competition. Many fantasy racers just look at results and assume that’s how good drivers were. This post explains who had a misleading result last year at Auto Club Speedway, and how good they truly were.
Kyle Busch – Kyle Busch had a great car last spring at Auto Club Speedway. If you just look at his 25th place finish you would never know it. With 3 laps to go while he was running in 2nd he had a flat tire and nailed the wall. If his race would’ve been incident free he would be heading into this years Auto Club race with a five race streak of finishing 3rd or better.
Martin Truex Jr. – Martin Truex Jr. was a strong competitor last spring at Auto Club Speedway. He had top five potential but with 51 laps to go while he was battling for 5th he had contact with Logano and then bounced off the wall. After that he was no longer competitive and it led to him finishing 32nd. From the race it should be noted Truex Jr. led 21 laps.
Austin Dillon – Austin Dillon had a competitive car last year at Auto Club Speedway but when the checkered flag waved he finished a misleading 21st. The final caution was very unfavorable for him. With 4 laps to go he was in 10th, during the race off pit road for the Green-White-Checker he plummeted back to 23rd. Also earlier in the race on lap 108 while he was running in 10th he had to make an extra pit stop that dropped him to the back.
