Fantasy NASCAR Asterisk Mark Report – Talladega (Summer 2020)

Chase Elliott – Chase Elliott looked strong this spring at Talladega, but he finished an asterisk mark 38th. With 56 laps to go he blocked Brad Keselowski, and as you can imagine that didn’t work out well. It sent him spinning into the wall and then Austin Dillon clipped him. At the time of the incident when he blocked the #2 he was running in 4th. If Elliott’s race would’ve been incident free, I think he probably would’ve been a factor to win.

Joey Logano – This spring at Talladega, Joey Logano was a standout performer but he finished 17th. In the race he finished 3rd in Stage #1, 6th in Stage #2, led 33 laps, had a race best 4.2 average running position but finished a misleading 17th. Fuel mileage came into the equation at the end, and that really hurt him since he had to pit for it which dropped him deep in the field late. With 8 laps to go he was running in 3rd.

Kyle Busch – This spring at Talladega, Busch had a strong showing, but walked away with an asterisk mark 32nd place result. In the race he finished 5th in Stage #1, 3rd in Stage #2 but then in the last Stage he had a tire issue and made an unexpected pit stop which doomed him to his poor result. On the lap before his problem he was running in 4th.
