Fantasy NASCAR Asterisk Mark Report – Michigan

Kyle Busch – Michigan is a track that has Kyle Busch’s number. He’s the Asterisk Mark King at MIS. In 6 of the last 7 races he didn’t have an incident free race. That’s certainly a negative trend so keep that in mind if you pick him this week. Last August at MIS while he was running in the low double digits on lap 26 he spun into the grass. He didn’t get any real notable damage but it did drop him a lap down and since the race didn’t have very many cautions he never really recovered.

Martin Truex Jr. – Martin Truex Jr. had a very competitive car last August at Michigan. When you look at his 20th place finish you would never know it. Strength wise his car ranked as one of the best until trouble surfaced. On lap 66 while he was the leader he had problems during a pit stop and got some aero damage when his jack fell too early and he took off. His car wasn’t quite as good after that. In the second half that problem really surfaced and it plummeted him back in the running to his poor result.
