• Fantasy Picks for the UAW Dodge 400

  My A list active driver pick for the UAW Dodge 400 Denny Hamlin - The driver has only two starts at this track but they are both top ten finishes. Joe Gibbs cars have been dominated this year and I feel he can have a dominating performance again at this track. My B list active driver picks for the UAWDodge 400 Kasey Kahne - I do not think I am taking a gamble with this driver. He has a top ten finish in 2006 at this track, but Kasey loves the new tires Goodyear is providing this year giving him two... Read More...

• Fantasy Picks for the NASCAR Auto Club 500

  My A list active driver pick for the Auto Club 500 Carl Edwards - This is my Roush Fenway driver pick for the race. He has six top ten finishes at this track in the past seven races.

My B list active driver picks for the Auto Club 500 Kyle Busch - Winner at this track in 2005; has continued since the win to produce top ten finishes in every race. I do not think that this trend is going to stop as well even though... Read More...

• Daytona 500 Racer/Track Trends

  Track: Dayton International Speedway Dimensions: 2.5 Mile tri-oval Super Speedway Drivers that do well at this track: Jimmy Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Mark Martin At a track like this not many teams really dominate. Only a few select drivers/teams over the years have really done well at this track. Hendrick and DEI always come to mind for top performers.
