Fantasy NASCAR Asterisk Mark Report – COTA 2024

Shane van Gisbergen – Shane van Gisbergen finished an ugly 21st last year at COTA, but that’s an asterisk mark result since his race wasn’t incident free. In the race, SVG was caught speeding on pit road on lap 26 while running in 9th and then later when he rebounded back up to 13th on lap 41, he lost first gear which is said to be used a lot around this serpentine track.

Kyle Busch – Kyle Busch finished 9th last year at COTA, which is a good result, but you could also argue that’s a misleading finish. On lap 41 while running in 5th, Bell spun him and that dropped Busch back to 12th and there were no cautions after that.

Chase Elliott – Chase Elliott finished 16th last year at COTA but you can get out an asterisk mark for that misleading result. “Performance Wise”, I think he was likely really a top five contender. In the race, Elliott started 9th but then on lap 39 when he was up to 6th, he was penalized for short cutting the track. Then later in the race when he rebounded back up to 11th on lap 54 which was late in the race, Elliott had a spin that dropped him back a few positions leading to his 16th.
