The Fantasy NASCAR Low Tier – Pocono
Ty Dillon – Ty Dillon has been pretty consistent at Pocono. He has an 18.5 average finish and all four of his results are between 17th to 21st. On Sunday I would look for Dillon to finish around that range again. Last summer he had his best Pocono race and finished 17th. Additionally he had a 22nd place average running position and earned the 23rd best driver rating. Last spring there was nothing special about his race. He finished 18th and had a 20th place average running position. In spring 2016 he had his worst result and finished 21st and had a 25th place average running position. In spring 2015 in his first race he finished 18th.

David Ragan – At Pocono I would look for David Ragan to be a low-twenties to mid-twenties performer. On a weekly basis that’s how he stacks up against the competition. At Pocono in 4 of the last 6 races he’s finished within the range I’m projecting. Last year in both races he finished within that range. Last summer he finished 22nd and last spring he finished 25th. In August 2016 he didn’t run well at all. He finished 32nd and had a 34th place average running position. His three prior results were finishes of 23rd, 17th and 23rd.
Michael McDowell – At Pocono, Michael McDowell will likely be a low-twenties to mid-twenties driver. Over the last three races at “The Tricky Triangle” he has a 21.7 average finish and a 21.3 average running position. Last summer he had his best Pocono race ever and finished 18th. Additionally he had a 20th place average running position and earned the 21st best driver rating. In the two races prior to that he had results of 23rd and 24th.
Matt DiBenedetto – Pocono hasn’t been a friendly track for Matt DiBenedetto. His average finish is 33rd and he’s never had a finish better than 28th. Last summer he wrecked on the opening lap and finished 37th. In spring 2017 he had drive shaft problems and finished 32nd. On Sunday I think the best case scenario might be him finishing in the high-twenties.
Landon Cassill – Pocono hasn’t been a good track for Landon Cassill. Since 2012 he only has one finish better than 25th. Over the last four Pocono races he has a 30.5 average finish. Last year at Pocono he had results of 27th and 30th. On Sunday I would look for Landon Cassill to be a high twenties driver at best.
