Atlanta Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions
Ty Dillon – Atlanta is now a superspeedway and by that very nature of it, Ty Dillon has boosted fantasy potential. The draft is a great equalizer, and all the attrition as long as he dodges it are pluses. This spring at Atlanta, Dillon didn’t dodge the carnage and was swept up in the lap 101 crash. He was running way back in 33rd and the crash happened at the front of the field, so that’s pretty remarkable. To open the season, Dillon finished 11th at Daytona. Overall at Daytona in 4 of his last 6 starts, Dillon has three results in the top 6, and 4 in the top 11. If Dillon can avoid trouble, I think he has a good chance to walk away with a respectable result.

Cole Custer – Cole Custer’s afternoon this spring at Atlanta wasn’t incident free and he finished an asterisk mark 34th. Unlike many in this post though, Custer’s afternoon was pedestrian, and he never really ran all that well. On lap 141 he was running in 29th, and then on lap 145 he crashed. This year at superspeedways, Custer finished 20th in the Daytona 500 and then 29th at Talladega. In 2022, Custer almost always finishes in the 20’s, I would look for that trend to likely continue.
Corey LaJoie – Corey LaJoie is a quality superspeedway performer and if you’re looking for a dark horse from the low tier, he’s certainly an attractive option. LaJoie ran well at Atlanta this spring, and he’s been solid at Daytona. This spring at Atlanta, LaJoie finished 5th, but take note his average running position was 20.2, and he’s a driver who drove up to the front in the closing laps. With 13 to go he was in 15th, and then with 3 to go he was in 10th. At Daytona, LaJoie finished 14th in this year’s 500 and over the last six points paying races his average finish is 12.5.
