Michigan Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions

Matt DiBenedetto – Matt DiBenedetto shouldn’t get overlooked at Michigan. His overall track record is poor, but his level of performance right now is better than ever. On Sunday, I’m going to be optimistic and view him as a high-teens driver which is great when you consider he’s never finished in the top 20. At Michigan in 4 of his last 5 races he’s finished in the 20’s. Earlier this year, DiBenedetto finished 21st and had a 25th place average running position. It’s important to note, that marks his all-time best result here. Last year at Michigan he finished 24th in the summer and in the spring he was really bad and finished 36th. In 2017 he had results of 26th and 28th.

Ty Dillon – At Michigan, I would look for Ty Dillon to likely be a low-twenties driver. In 5 of the last 6 races at this 2.0 mile oval he’s finished between 20th to 24th. His only result outside of that range over the last six races was due to an accident. Earlier this year, Ty Dillon finished 22nd and had a 25th place average running position. Last summer, Dillon had his worst Michigan result and finished an asterisk mark 38th. On lap 133 while he was running around 23rd he hit a big piece of debris and then slammed into the wall hard which marked the end of his race. Last spring he was a low-twenties driver and finished 21st. Additionally, he earned the 22nd best driver rating and had a 26th place average running position. In 2017 at Michigan he finished 21st in the summer and 20th in the spring.

Bubba Wallace – Michigan hasn’t been that bad of a track for Wallace, by his standards. In 3 of his 4 races he’s finished between 19th to 23rd. Earlier this year, Wallace had his worst race at MIS and finished 28th. It’s important to note he actually ran well and that’s a misleading result. With 52 laps to go while he was running in 15th something was wrong with his car (likely a flat tire) and he immediately came to pit road which dropped him a lap down. Last summer at MIS, the number you need to know about him is 23. He finished 23rd, had a 23rd place average running position and earned the 23rd best driver rating. In spring 2018 he finished 19th, had a 24th place average running position and earned the 25th best driver rating. In spring 2017 when he drove the #43 in place of an injured Almirola he finished 19th, had a 21st place average running position and earned the 21st best driver rating. On Sunday, I would project him as a low-twenties performer.
