Pocono SUNDAY Fantasy NASCAR Confidence Rankings/ Predictions
On Sunday at Pocono, round #2 will ensue. Saturday’s race was a great exhibition of what we should expect on Sunday. It should essentially be viewed as a “Practice Race.” The drivers who were good on Saturday, will more then likely be good on Sunday.
There will be one big difference in Pocono #2 though, the top 20 finishers will be inverted. This will create a dynamic of drivers racing to the front, and others slowly fading back in the running order. Last year in Pocono #2, the top 5 finishers all started 18th or worse. All the top five starters in last years race finished 13th or worse.
