• NASCAR's 10 Hottest Drivers - Week 18

  1) Carl Edwards (Previous position: 1 st ) - Edwards stays in the first place spot with his top ten finish at Sonoma. He was solid all day long and was easily carving his way up the field all race long. 2) Jeff Gordon (Previous position: 4 th ) - Gordon moves up a couple of spots with his third place finish at Sonoma. He also moved up three spots in the Sprint Cup standings as well, but still has no win this season. 3) Dale Earnhardt Jr . (Previous position: 3 rd ) - DEJ stays in third place with... Read More...

• NASCAR LENOX Industrial Tools 301 Expert Picks

  Okay, so I submitted my picks to the editor on a Tuesday and somehow the Yahoo Fantasy Experts for the Sonoma race had picks very, very similar to mine. Odd ... Well, I wound up for the weekend with four picks in the top ten, but every single one of the road course ringers did very poorly and certainly were used big time and I guess in well over half of all fantasy drafts during the weekend. A list active driver: Matt Kenseth - This is the second time on this list for Kenseth. This driver has the... Read More... Posted Jun 25 2008, 09:47 AM by richardginn with no comments

• NASCAR's 10 Hottest Drivers - Week 17

  1) Carl Edwards (Previous position: 2 nd ) - With a better finish this weekend, Carl Edwards winds up with the top spot. He is solidly in the chase with his fourth place standing in the Sprint Cup points. 2) Jeff Burton (Previous position: 1 st ) - Burton squeezes right behind Carl for the second spot with his fifteenth place finish at Michigan. He's still a hot driver even with his worst finish of the season. 3) Dale Earnhardt Jr . (Previous position: 4 th ) - DEJ moves up another spot with... Read More...

• NASCAR Toyota Save Mart 350 Expert Picks

  Well, I picked another race winner this past weekend and both of the highest scoring drivers this as well. Also, I correctly selected the third place B list driver as well. The C list active pick was good, but not as good as other drivers on that list. All fantasy drivers listed for the weekend finished no worse 22 nd spot, which is very solid. A list active driver: Tony Stewart - This is the second time on this list for Stewart. Tony is one of the best road course races in NASCAR. In his last six... Read More...

• NASCAR's 10 Hottest Drivers - Week 16

  1) Jeff Burton (Previous position: 3 rd ) - Burton takes over the top spot in the rankings after racking up another top five finish. He also closed to the gap big time to the points leader; he just does not stink up the joint on a weekly basis. 2) Carl Edwards (Previous position: 2 nd ) - Another top ten finish for this driver who has been racking them up in bunches lately. He still stays in fourth place in the Sprint Cup standings. 3) Jeff Gordon (Previous position: 3 rd ) - Gordon stays in third... Read More...

• NASCAR LifeLock 400 Expert Picks

  Well, I had five out seven picks in the top 11, including the best pick possible for the C list driver in Brian Vickers. I'd have to say that's a pretty solid week. Mark Martin and Bobby Labonte also turned out to be very valuable sleeper picks. But I also had two stinkers. Juan Pablo Montoya had a fire in his car and Terry Labonte started in the back and was slow ... real slow. A list active driver: Jimmie Johnson - This is the second time on the list for JJ. He has three top ten finishes... Read More... Posted Jun 11 2008, 08:42 AM by richardginn with no comments

• NASCAR's 10 Hottest Drivers - Week 15

  1) Kyle Busch (Previous position: 1st) His forth Sprint cup win keeps this ultra hot driver at the top of the my rankings. Not much stopping this driver. 2) Carl Edwards (Previous position: 4th ) -- Moves up two spots with his second place finish at Dover. He also moves up two spots in the Sprint Cup Standings as well 3) Jeff Gordon (Previous position: 6th) Moves up three more spots in my rankings and squeezes just ahead of Jeff Burton. He had a slightly better finish than Burton and moves up four... Read More... Posted Jun 05 2008, 08:55 AM by richardginn with 1 comment(s)

• NASCAR Pocono 500 Expert Picks

  Three out of four active driver picks were in the top fifteen which is solid imo. The B list sleeper pick had a top ten finish which is great. The C list picks I had this week imo did better than last week as a whole, but even this week they were not as good as the rest of the drivers score wise. Denny Hamlin got into an early wreck and was a complete bust. Would have had a solid day if that did not occur. I was even going to have an A list active driver pick from the Roush camp that was not Carl... Read More... Posted Jun 03 2008, 06:33 PM by richardginn with no comments
