Indianapolis Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions
Kasey Kahne – Kasey Kahne has challenged for the win in the the past at Indy, but since his team hasn’t performed well this season it’s hard seeing him be that competitive. Realistically I would set his baseline fantasy value as being mid-teens to high-teens good. In his career at Indy Kahne has finished in the top ten 46% percent of the time. Last year Kahne was a high-teens driver. He finished 18th and had n 18th place average running position. In 2015 he was pretty bad. He had an 18th place average running position and finished 24th. In the two Indy races prior to that when his team was more competitive he had results of 3rd and 6th. (Yahoo B Driver)

Trevor Bayne – Indy hasn’t been a friendly track to Trevor Bayne. His average finish is 31.3 and in the last four races he’s finished 28th or worse. Some good news is that his team is better now than ever before. Performance wise I think a high-teens finish is likely in the cards for him. Last year at Indy Bayne was low-twenties good but was taken out in a wreck with 2 laps to go that led to his 30th place finish. Additionally in the race he earned the 20th best driver rating and had a 21st place average running position. In both 2015 and 2014 at Indy he was taken out in wrecks that led to extremely poor results. (Yahoo B Driver)
Paul Menard – At Indy Paul Menard is a former winner, you can’t say that about him anywhere else. In 2011 he was a hyper mileage driver and was able to go the distance. In his victory it should be noted he had a 13th place average running position and ran just 1 fastest lap. Since his victory he’s been a respectable performer finishing between 10th and 14th in four of the last five races. Last year at Indy Menard finished 10th. It’s important to note he wasn’t that strong. Just prior to the mass carnage over the last 10 laps when three accidents happened he was running in 18th. His average running position was 17th. In 2015 he finished 14th, earned the 15th best driver rating and had a 17th place average running position. In 2014 he got into the wall early while driving in 21st and that led to his 34th place finish. In the two Indy races prior to that he had results of 12th and 14th. (Yahoo B Driver)
