Fantasy NASCAR Asterisk Mark Report – Richmond

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 fall at Richmond, and how good they truly were.

Matt Kenseth – Matt Kenseth had a very strong car last fall at Richmond but finished a misleading 38th. In the race he started in 3rd and ran among the front runners for much of the race. Then around lap 238 during a caution he had a slow pit stop that dropped him from the top 5 back to the low twenties. He had a fast car and was able to rebound but with 65 laps to go while he was running in 6th he had a run in with Keselowski that resulted in him getting a flat and then careening with the wall.

Ryan Newman – Ryan Newman was a top ten contender last fall at Richmond but finished a misleading 28th. His problem was that he had a late run-in with Tony Stewart with 38 laps to go and as you can imagine that didn’t end well.  At the time of the incident Newman was running in 10th.
