Homestead Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings

Erik Jones – Erik Jones should have a strong performance at Homestead. He’ll have a great car underneath him and I think he’ll compete for a top ten. At 1.5 mile tracks he’s been pretty good this season despite what his results show. Texas is the last 1.5 mile track visited and he finished 10th there. A few weeks before that at Kansas he had top five potential until he was caught up in a wreck. (Yahoo C Driver)

Daniel Suarez – Daniel Suarez will be a driver to watch at Homestead. There’s lots of things to like about him heading into the race. Last year in the Xfinity Series he raced his way to victory lane here. In recent races at 1.5 mile tracks he’s been good. Since May at tracks of this length minus Kansas #2 where he was top five contender until he wrecked he has an 11.3 average finish. On Sunday I’m going to view him as a low-double digits driver who has a great chance to finish in the top ten. (Yahoo C Driver)

Jamie McMurray – This year at 1.5 mile tracks Jamie McMurray has typically been a high-single digits to low-double digits driver. At Homestead as long as he avoids trouble I would look for that to be the case again. At Homestead, McMurray has been good in recent races. Over the last three Homestead races he has a 7.7 average finish and the 12th best driver rating. Last year he had a good race. He finished 5th, had a 15th place average running position and earned the 10th best driver rating. Performance wise I would say his average running position is more reflective of his performance than his finish. In 2015 the number you need to know about McMurray is 13. He finished 13th, had a 13th place average running position and earned the 13th best driver rating. In 2014 he had a good result and walked away with a 5th place finish. It should be noted his good finish is the product of using pit strategy at the end. If he didn’t use pit strategy he likely would’ve finished around 20th. His average running position that afternoon was 17th. (Yahoo B Driver)
