Kansas Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions/ The Low Tier

Josh Berry
Kansas Fantasy Spin – At Kansas, I think Josh Berry has about 20th place potential and I wouldn’t want to get more bullish than that. Las Vegas is the sister track and this spring at “Sin City”, Berry finished 20th and had the 24th best Total Speed Ranking.
Kansas Track History – In spring 2023 at Kansas in the #48 in his only Cup start at this 1.5-mile track, Josh Berry finished 25th and had the 19th best Total Speed Ranking.

John H Nemechek
Kansas Fantasy Spin – At Kansas, I would view John H Nemechek as a 20’s performer. This year at high-speed 1.5-mile tracks, Nemechek finished 22nd at Las Vegas which I consider to be the sister track and he had a troubled Texas showing en route to a 34th there. In terms of Total Speed Rankings between the combined races, Nemechek ranks 30th.
Kansas Track History – At Kansas back in 2020 when he piloted the #38, Nemechek had results of 17th and 19th. In the Xfinity series, Nemechek’s won in 2 of his 3 starts, and one of those wins came last fall where he led 154 laps.

Corey LaJoie
Kansas Fantasy Spin – At Kansas, look for Corey LaJoie to likely be about a 20th to 25th place driver. LaJoie was 2 for 2 at finishing within that range last year with a 21st place average finish and in 7 of the last 8 races at this Midwest track he’s finished between 19th to 27th. This year at high-speed 1.5’s, LaJoie looked about 20th place good until he had problems at Las Vegas (finished 32nd), finished 22nd at Texas and his Total Speed Ranking between the combined races ranks 21st.
Kansas Track History – At Kansas in 3 of the last 4 races, Corey LaJoie has finished between 19th to 22nd. In 2023, LaJoie was 2 for 2 at finishing in the low 20’s. Last fall, LaJoie finished 22nd, had a 22.5 average running position and had the 24th best Total Speed Ranking. Last spring,  LaJoie finished 20th and had a 22.2 average running position. In fall 2022, LaJoie had a short race and crashed on lap 115 which marked the end of his race and led to his 33rd. On the very lap of his demise, Lajoie was running in 17th. In spring 2022, LaJoie had his best Kansas result and finished 19th. Additionally, LaJoie had a 24.4 average running position and the 30th best Total Speed Ranking. Attrition certainly helped him. In the four Kansas races prior to that, LaJoie’s results were 25th, 27th, 23rd and then 21st.
