Nashville Ally 400 Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings

Joey Logano
Nashville Fantasy Outlook – At Nashville, I would view Logano as a low double-digit to mid-teens driver. Logano’s had success here, but he wasn’t so hot last year which is of course the most important race since fantasy racing is largely about “What have you done lately.” This year over the Dover + High-Speed 1.5-Mile Track Grouping which has correlation, Logano hasn’t been at his best and over the combined races he has the 18th best Track Type Total Speed Ranking and minus Kansas where he crashed his average finish is 12.5.
Nashville Track History – At Nashville, Joey Logano has a pair of top tens but he was a dud last year. In 2023, Logano started 4th, didn’t place in any Stage, had a 13.6 average running position and then finished 19th overall. In terms of Total Speed Rankings, Logano ranked 19th which matched his finish. Over the two races prior to that, Logano was 2 for 2 at finishing in the top ten with his average finish being 9.5. In 2022, Logano finished 9th, had a 10.8 average running position and had the 13th best Total Speed Ranking. With 10 laps to go before the final caution came out, Logano was in 12th. In 2021, Logano finished 8th in Stage #1, had an 8.2 average running position and then finished 10th. In terms of speed analytics, Logano had the 8th best Total Speed Ranking, the 11th best Green Flag Speed and was the 12th Fastest Driver Late In A Run.

Josh Berry
Nashville Fantasy Outlook – Josh Berry is running well and clicking off good results, so hopefully the good times will continue at Nashville. Since Talladega minus Gateway and Sonoma, Josh Berry has a 9.7 average finish and he’s had a result in the top 16 every race. Over the last three races at tracks that I would look for correlation, Berry’s had results of 14th (Dover), 15th (Kansas) and 10th (Charlotte). On Sunday, I would view Berry as a teens driver but not be surprised if he has further upside.
Nashville Track History – Josh Berry has never competed at Nashville on the Cup level. On the Xfinity level, Josh Berry has finished in the top five in 2 of his 3 races. Last year, Berry finished 5th.

Kyle Busch
Nashville Fantasy Outlook – At Nashville if Kyle Busch can keep the #8 on track and out of trouble, I would look for him to have a solid showing and perhaps even flirt with a top ten. That’s a “BIG IF” and is certainly no guarantee. Busch has run well at Nashville with a pair of top 11’s and then in the other he was in 2nd with 10 to go before he decided to pit during a late caution which ruined his afternoon. This year over the Dover + High-Speed 1.5-Mile Track Grouping, Busch has the 11th best Track Type Total Speed Ranking and minus Las Vegas where he had a misleading result his average finish is 9th.
Nashville Track History – Nashville has been a solid track for Kyle Busch and over the three combined races, Busch has the 6th best Driver rating, the 6th best average running position and a 13.7 average finish which underrates him. In terms of Next Gen Speed Rankings over the last two, Busch ranks 5th. Last year, Busch didn’t have an incident free race, but he still came home 9th. In the race, Busch started 11th but then problems happened for him early and on lap 17 while running in 10th, Busch had a tire issue and made an unexpected pit stop which dropped him a lap down. Later, Busch was caught speeding during the Stage #1 caution and then in Stage #2, Busch was spun out during a restart (didn’t hit anything). That list of problems makes his 9th look pretty good. In terms of speed stats, Busch ranked 4th for Speed Late In A Run and had the 9th best Total Speed Ranking. I’ll note over the final quarter of the race, the #8 was the 3rd fastest car on the track. In 2022, Busch started in the back, finished 9th in Stage #1, finished 3rd in Stage #2, led 54 laps and was running in 2nd with 10 to go, before he decided to pit during the final caution which dropped him back to 12th with 4 to go, and where things got really wild which torpedoed his afternoon leading to a 21st. In terms of speed stats, Busch had the 3rd best Total Speed Ranking and ranked 3rd for Speed Late In A Run. In 2021, Busch was strong, but when the checkered flag waved he finished an asterisk mark 11th. In the race he finished 4th in Stage #1, 5th in Stage #2 (lap 185) and had an 8.7 average running position. Early in the final Stage during a restart on lap 203, Kyle Busch was in 10th, but then for whatever reason he suddenly dropped like a rock and was back in 26th on lap 210. When his team radioed him, Busch said he had nothing to report. On lap 227, the next caution came out and from that point on he rebounded back up to 11th. In terms of Total Speed Rankings, Busch ranked 8th.
