Talladega Early Week Top 20 Fantasy Projections
After a weekend off for Easter, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series rolls into Talladega Superspeedway this weekend for the GEICO 500 (and the second restrictor plate track race of the season). Obviously we kicked things off with the Daytona 500 earlier this year–the other plate track–and there we saw Joe Gibbs Racing take the top 3 spots at the checkered flag, as Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, and Erik Jones were the podium finishers that day. From a Fantasy NASCAR perspective, plate tracks are always a bit of fun to play, as practice speeds do not mean much, qualifying position doesn’t mean much, and literally anybody in the field could end up at the front in the end. Looking back at Daytona, we had Michael McDowell finish 5th, Ty Dillon finish 6th, Ryan Preece finish 8th, and Ross Chastain finish 10th–likely all four’s best finishes of the season even though we still have 27 races to go.
