The Fantasy NASCAR Low Tier – Homestead
John Hunter Nemechek – At Homestead, I would look for John Hunter Nemechek to be a mid-twenties driver in the #36 car. At Texas when Nemechek made his Cup series debut he finished 21st, had a 23rd place average running position and earned the 26th best driver rating. I’ll note attrition certainly helped him. In 2018 at Homestead in the Xfinity Series he finished 3rd.
Landon Cassill – At Homestead, I’m going to project Landon Cassill as a high-twenties to low-thirties driver. This year in incident free races a typical finish range for him at tracks of this length is a result between 27th to 32nd. In his two incident free races in the Playoffs at tracks of this length he has results of 27th (Texas) and 29th (Las Vegas). At Homestead, Cassill has a 30.6 average finish. Last year, Cassill was very uncompetitive. When the checkered flag waved he finished 31st and had a 31st place average running position. In the two Homestead races prior to that when he was in a more competitive situation he had results of 23rd (2017) and 21st (2016).
Corey LaJoie – At Texas, I think it’s safe to project Corey LaJoie as a high-twenties driver. He crashed at Texas, but in the three 1.5 mile track races prior to that he finished 28th every race. At Homestead, LaJoie has two starts under his belt and his average finish is 32.5. Last year he finished 34th, and in 2017 he finished 31st.
Ross Chastain – This year at 1.5 mile tracks, Ross Chastain has typically been a high-twenties to low-thirties driver. Over the ten combined races at tracks of this length he has a 30.6 average finish and a 31.4 average running position. Over the last four races at these venues he has results of 31st (Kentucky), 31st (Las Vegas), 27th (Kansas) and 31st (Texas). Last year at Homestead, Chastain didn’t have a good track debut. When the checkered flag waved he finished 33rd and had a 33rd place average running position.
