Fantasy NASCAR Asterisk Mark Report – Bristol Summer 2019
Kevin Harvick – Kevin Harvick had a strong showing last summer at Bristol, but when you look at his 39th place finish you wouldn’t know it. In the race he led 28 laps, finished 4th in Stage #1 and was running in 4th on lap on lap 244 when he had transmission problems which led to his asterisk mark result. In the eight Bristol races prior to the event last summer his average finish was 6.4.
Erik Jones – Last summer at Bristol, Erik Jones was a top five contender but he finished a misleading 22nd. In the race he finished 7th in Stage #1, 7th in Stage #2, led 23 laps but on lap 397 while running in 2nd after just getting passed for the lead, he got into the wall hard which led to an unexpected pit stop.
Joey Logano – Joey Logano finished 16th last summer, but I’m not going to read into that result. In the race on lap 68 while he was running in 9th he made an unexpected pit stop which dropped him 3 laps down. Also, later in the race he plowed in the back of Alex Bowman when he crashed. If those problems didn’t happen, he was likely poised to have a great evenging.
