Fantasy NASCAR Asterisk Mark Report – Phoenix (Fall 2021)

William Byron – In 3 of the last 4 Phoenix races, William Byron has finished between 8th to 10th. Last fall, it looked like Byron had a great chance to finish within that range again, but he finished an asterisk mark 17th. Around lap 250 there was a caution during the pit cycle and that burned Byron and dropped him from ~11th, back into the twenties. Prior to that problem, Byron finished 6th in Stage #1 and 10th in Stage #2.

Bubba Wallace – How good was Bubba Wallace last fall at Phoenix? I have no clue since his race was so short! On lap 5 after contact with Corey LaJoie, Wallace’s afternoon came to a swift conclusion which led to his 38th.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. – Last fall at Phoenix, I think Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was likely around high-teens good, but he finished an asterisk mark 35th. On lap 140 while he was running in the high-teens, he slammed into the wall and it marked the end of his race.
