Chicagoland Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions

Ryan Newman – Ryan Newman has been a violate fantasy NASCAR prospect at 1.5 mile tracks this year. In 4 of the 5 races at these venues he’s had major problems in the race. In his one incident free race he finished 11th at Las Vegas. “Performance Wise” I think he’s typically been a high-teens driver and on Sunday I think he’ll finish around that range. At Chicagoland, Newman has been a respectable performer having finished in the top ten 56% percent of the time, and in the top fifteen 63% percent of the time. I will note the last two races haven’t’ been good for him. In last year’s race that was dominated by long green flag runs he wasn’t remotely competitive. He finished 23rd and had a 21st place average running position. In 2016 he wasn’t much better. He finished 19th and had a 17th place average running position. In 2015 Newman had his best Chicagoland race since his 2003 victory. When the checkered flag waved he finished 4th, had a 10th place average running position and earned the 9th best driver rating.

Kasey Kahne – At Chicagoland look for Kasey Kahne to be a high-teens to low-twenties driver. Strength wise that’s how his team stacks up against the competition at 1.5 mile tracks this year. In 2018 at these venues he has a 19.6 average finish, a 21.6 average running position and has finished between 17th to 21st every race. At Chicagoland in 2 of the last 3 races he’s finished in the low-twenties. Last year Kahne didn’t have a strong showing. He never ran well and when the checkered flag waved he finished 21st and had a 20th place average running position. In 2016 he had a good race. He finished 7th, earned the 8th best driver rating and had a 9th place average running position. In 2015 he didn’t run well at all. He finished 24th, had a 21st place average running position and earned the 21st best driver rating. Prior to that race at Chicagoland he had 6 straight results of 13th or better.
