The Fantasy NASCAR Low Tier – Michigan

Matt Tifft – At Michigan, I would look for rookie Matt Tifft to finish in the twenties. I would play it safe and pencil him in for a mid-twenties finish. At Auto Club, the other 2.0 mile on the schedule he finished 26th this spring. I view Kansas as a mini-Michigan and he recently finished 21st there. Last year in the Xfinity Series at MIS he finished 16th.

Corey LaJoie – At Michigan, look for Corey LaJoie to likely be a high-twenties to low-thirties driver. This year at high-speed intermediate tracks that’s been his typical finish range. I will note I wouldn’t be surprised if he finishes marginally better. At Michigan, LaJoie has four starts under his belt and in his incident free races he’s finished within the range I’m projecting. Last summer his engine blew up early and he finished 40th. In the three races prior to that he had results of 27th, 30th and 31st.

Ross Chastain – Ross Chastain is poised to be a high-twenties to low-thirties driver at Michigan. For him to finish better than that range then something goofy happened. This year at high-speed intermediate tracks he’s almost always finished within that range. Last year at Michigan, Chastain had axle problems in the summer and finished 35th, in the rain shortened spring race he finished 26th.

Landon Cassill – Look for Landon Cassill to be a low-thirties driver at Michigan. If things go really well he might be able to finish marginally better. Auto Club Speedway is the other big 2.0 mile oval on the schedule and he finished 29th there. Last year at MIS in his current ride he was quite bad. He finished 29th in the summer and 32nd in the spring. In his races prior to that his results weren’t good, but he was in a slightly more competitive situation.
