Jay Busbee - From The Marbles, Yahoo! NASCAR blog
1. You landed the top pick, so Jimmie Johnson was an easy selection. After having to wait to the end of the second round to pick again, how confident are you with Jeff Burton and Kasey Kahne?
How confident am I? So confident that I was thinking of just passing on my last five picks and riding JJ to victory in our league! Seriously, I liked how Burton ran at the end of last year, and I think Kahne will do much better in a Ford than a Dodge. Serpentine leagues are hell on the guy with the No. 1 pick, but I feel a hell of a lot safer with the 48 than I would with, say, Adrian Peterson.
2. Brad Keselowski was your No. 5 selection. Aside from triggering wrecks, how do you see his first full-time season working out?
Jet Ski seems like the classic million dollars of talent with a ten cent head. I think he’s got a ton of potential, which is why I was picking him. Plus, we were almost down to start-and-parkers at that point. Of course, if he takes out one of my topline guys, I’ll cut him in a heartbeat.
Eric McClung - http://twitter.com/ericmcclung
1. There are several drivers worthy of the No. 2 pick, how did you decide on Jeff Gordon?
In a draft league, it’s so important to know what you are getting with your first couple of picks. Last season, Gordon tied teammate Jimmie Johnson for the most top-fives (16) and led all drivers in top-10s (25). Gordon’s average finish (10.2) was his second-best since the Cup series expanded to 36 races in 2001. Most of the other experts thought I would go for Denny Hamlin. While Hamlin had some really great numbers last season, the hype surrounding him right now is much like Carl Edwards heading into 2009.
2. Roush Fenway struggled mightily last season, how do you feel about having both Greg Biffle and David Ragan on the same team?
Last year, Biffle finished seventh in points and ninth in driving rating so getting him with the 11th pick was just fine by me. When you look at the draft results, after Ambrose the pool of talent got pretty thin. I see Ragan as a post-hype sleeper after nearly making the Chase in 2008. The quicker Roush Fenway can starting using the new Ford engine on a weekly basis, the sooner things will get things turned around, hopefully.
Darren Fauth - Onebadwheel Fantasy NASCAR Cheat Sheet
1. Coming off a season in which he set several career highs, Denny Hamlin has a lot of hype attached to him. Were there any other drivers you debated taking with the No. 3 overall pick?
It was while working with the NASCAR Loop Data for the fantasyracingcheatsheet.com site that I realized that Hamlin was so stout in 2009. He was just an underachiever. Heck, I think according to his Loop Data numbers that Hamlin could be the guy to keep Jimmie from getting No. 5. I went into this draft with Johnson my first rated driver and Hamlin my second. So, in reality I was glad to see he was still available when my turn came up.
2. There has been some buzz around Marcos Ambrose becoming this year’s Juan Pablo Montoya. Do you see the Aussie making a run at the Chase?
You know me and that I’m incredibly anal when it comes to stats and preparation. I had Ambrose as my highest ‘pre-draft’ ranked guy that was available when that turn came up. So, I took him. I do think he is a great driver and I hope (and expect) him to continue to improve in 2010. But, make the Chase? Nope.
Scott Engel - RotoExperts
1. No one else in the draft has three Chase drivers from 2009, you’ve got four! In a fantasy NASCAR draft, where the talent pool gets thin fast, did it help to draft in the middle?
Drafting in the middle in this particular league turned out to be good, but it’s all about being prepared. I really did not expect Stewart to slip. I was able to take some pretty safe drivers with the first four picks. Drafting in the middle, you don’t get that shot at Jimmie Johnson, but thankfully, you can still get a very good, top-tier driver. If you’re outside the Top 5, you have some questions early and maybe with your third pick.
2. Juan Pablo Montoya’s ability to get back into the Chase varies a great deal depending on who you talk to. Do you see him as a risky No. 2 driver?
Not at all. While the wins haven’t been there yet, the improvement and progression certainly has. Montoya is clearly ready to climb to the level of top contender this year after a significant breakthrough campaign. After regularly running up front last year, now he will show he can stay there.
Dan Beaver - Fantasy Racing News
1. Kyle Bush and Carl Edwards combined for 17 wins in 2008. Last year, Kyle won four and Carl was shut out. As your first and second picks, how strong do you see these two drivers rebounding in 2010?
My picks were affected by the draft order. As the fifth player to pick, several choices were already gone before I had a chance. However, I do have Kyle Busch ranked fourth in the pre-season Yahoo! draft kit because he is explosive. Busch has the capability of running up front every week so long as he and the team do not make an early mistake with the setup. Once he begins to get frustrated, the race is over, but each year brings just a little more maturity and it is a calculated risk that he will meltdown less often in 2010.
In my estimation, Carl Edwards is the best Roush racer at the moment and the entire organization is due to rebound from last year’s disappointment. Edwards’ fate last year was sealed with his broken foot late in the regular season, or else I believe he would have won a couple of races during the Chase.
2. You passed over Kevin Harvick, Brian Vickers and Marcos Ambrose in favor of Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Logano. Do you expect the first three of drivers to decline or just think Truex and Logano are due for big improvements?
Passing over Kevin Harvick was an easy decision: if he hasn’t already mentally checked out of Richard Childress Racing (RCR), he will at the first sign of trouble as the Silly Season starts at the Daytona 500 for a driver in the last year of a contract, who has said the book is closing on his career with Childress. I also passed over Marcos Ambrose in favor of Martin Truex Jr. largely because of the relative experience of the two drivers. Ambrose’s improvement last year was impressive and I expect it to continue into 2010, but Truex has more seat time and they should be in equal equipment. One gets the sense that Michael Waltrip gave the best cars to Ambrose and David Reutimann last year and that will end now that Truex is in his renumbered ride.
Joey Logano showed consistent improvement during the season— just as a rookie is expected. As he visits tracks for a third and fourth time, he is going to continue to improve. Sophomore slumps typically come to drivers who had exceptional freshman seasons, and that was not the case with the teenager. As good as he was, he still has a lot to prove. His steady growth last year tells me that he will continue to learn what he needs from the car and how best to communicate that with the team.
Ryan Rantz - ifantasyrace
1. For having the final pick of the first round, you still managed to score Mark Martin and Kurt Busch, second and fourth in points last year. Who were you originally targeting having to pick last?
Having the final position in the first round, the objective is to take the best driver off the board. Mark Martin and Kurt Busch were clearly the best drivers available. Originally I envisioned picking Kyle Busch and probably Matt Kenseth.
2. Kevin Harvick was bad for much of last season and can’t wait to leave RCR. A lot of people saw David Reutimann as an overachiever last year and a possible bust in 2010. How confident are you in your No. 3 and 4 drivers?
It’s true that Kevin Harvick was bad for most of last season and wants out of his contract but it’s not his first time being in this situation. The last time he was in a contract year and wanted out was the best year of his career. He went on to win five races and finished fourth in points. There are a lot of parallels between this situation and the one he was in 2006. Kevin Harvick was fast at the end of the season and would’ve won Atlanta if it wasn’t for a late caution. I’m extremely comfortable with drafting Kevin Harvick here and I think this might be the steal of the draft.
David Reutimann was a solid Chase contender last year until Denny Hamlin wrecked him at Pocono. Last year he scored the 11th most picks at the intermediate tracks and the sixth most on the flat tracks. These two track types constitute two thirds of the season so there was no going wrong with drafting David Reutimann here. Watkins Glen and Infineon are the two tracks that I absolutely don’t trust Reutimann at and I believe that I drafted other drivers who can fill this hole in my roster.

- demoted from 2009 driver list
Expert Advice
- Not many surprises to the A-List. KuBusch, Hamlin, Montoya and Stewart are all worthy promotions from the B-List. However, starting Montoya (with only one solid season under his belt) as your top driver is a bit of a risk.
- Kenseth and all of the main RCR drivers (Bowyer, Burton, Harvick) drop down to the B-List. RCR made big improvements during the Chase so expect this trio to rebound and offer a lot of value. Ambrose certainly deserves the promotion from the C-List. I don’t understand promoting Keselowski. Sure, he won a race and had some decent finishes but 2010 will be his first full-time Cup season. From seeing the wrecks he has triggered, Keselowski clearly has a lot to learn.
- The entire list of C-List drivers is much longer so I left off most of the likely start-and-park drivers and those currently without a ride. With the exception Mears, all of the drivers demoted to the C-List really should have been there last year. Mears fell into this list because he has no sponsorship after Daytona. If RCR, or another team, is able to get him back on the race track full time, Mears could prove to be a good value.

Salary cap styles games are the most common type of fantasy NASCAR game you will come across online. The objective in a salary cap game is to create the best weekly roster of drivers while staying within a set budget. The market value (or price) of the drivers will change based on recent performance. The important thing to remember is that the price of each driver remains locked at the price you purchased them at. By investing in a driver when the price is low (like Juan Pablo Montoya last year) the value of your team may exceed the cap limit, but that’s OK– the locked price is what must remain under the cap. Keep in mind if you take a driver off your team you must pay market value to reacquire him.
This concludes my overview of the types of fantasy NASCAR games. There are some others, mainly picking head-to-head driver match ups, but those games are pretty self explanatory and void of strategy, for the most part.
Tomorrow will cover changes to Yahoo!’s popular Fantasy Auto Racing game, Friday will take you inside a recent expert draft with analysis from all the participants!
Expert advice
- Finding a cheap, serviceable option and building up from there is a good way to go. Last season, Bill Elliott was a salary-cap staple every time he was on the entry list. His basement-level price opened up a ton of roster flexibility. This season, Sam Hornish, Jr. and David Ragan are good potential backend options.
- If you have some cap space left over, don’t worry. Just focus on getting the best roster available for that week.

A draft league is going to be setup one of two ways: picks made in a snake/serpentine order or by auction.
In a snake draft, the owner awarded the first overall pick will make their selection. The first round continues until each driver has made their initial pick. The owner with the last selection of the first round will go again to begin the second round. The selection order reverses at the end of each round until conclusion.
The great thing about auction drafts is that each owner has a shot to own any driver. Everyone starts with the same amount of “dollars” to make bids. Owners nominate a driver each round to bid on until the teams are full.
The scoring for a draft league can be done in head-to-head matchups or against everyone in a points-based system. A head-to-head league uses scheduled one-on-one matchups.
The pool of elite drivers is shallow this format is very challenging. Finding the proper roster size and number of owners is key to keeping a draft league fun. Leagues with little movement in the rosters can grow stale; smaller leagues allow more free agent sleepers to be available on waivers.
Draft Room Analysis
Here are the results of an actual draft I did at Fanball with totally random people. The names of their teams have been altered to protect their identities.
1-1 (Team PR): Jeff Gordon… Gordon over Johnson is crazy; assuming this is a Gordon fan who just wanted his favorite driver.
1-2 (Team CTD): Jimmie Johnson
1-3 (Team BR) Denny Hamlin… Set career highs in wins and top-fives last year but still inconsistent on intermediate tracks.
1-4 (draft n pass, me) Tony Stewart… I had Stewart No. 3 on my board but I did consider Martin.
1-5 (Team IR) Mark Martin
1-6 (Team DS) Kurt Busch
1-7 (Team BF) Kyle Busch
1-8 (Team HB) Greg Biffle
2-1 (HB) Carl Edwards… Edwards is only a year removed from a nine-victory season– could be an amazing value. Roush Fenway struggled last season so selecting teammates is risky for Team HB.
2-2 (BF) Juan Pablo Montoya… “Never pay for a career year” is fantasy sports mantra but JPM was taken at the right spot here.
2-3 (DS) Ryan Newman… Very risky pick; Newman was a roller coaster ride last season.
2-4 (IR) Kasey Kahne… Love Kahne’s abilities, hate his situation. He can’t wait to leave RPM. Switching to Ford is one of many changes Kahne has dealt over in recent years.
2-5 (me) Clint Bowyer… With RCR’s late-season improvements, Bowyer should be really good this year. He’s good everywhere, a perfect No. 2 driver.
2-6 (BR) Matt Kenseth
2-7 (CTD) Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
2-8 (PR): Jeff Burton
3-1 (PR): Kevin Harvick… RCR should bounce back, just don’t want two of them on my team.
3-2 (CTD) Brad Keselowski… I don’t understand this pick at all. There are plenty of better drivers still on the board. Maybe owning Johnson made him overzealous.
3-3 (BR) Marcos Ambrose… Great value here, I don’t see Ambrose’s successful rookie campaign as a flux.
3-4 (me) Brian Vickers… I’ve been a believer in Vickers and Red Bull Racing. This league scores starting position. Vickers had six poles this year, gotta love that.
3-5 (IR) A.J. Allmendinger… Like the talent but not the ride. Reutimann is much, much better pick.
3-6 (DS) David Reutimann… With Keselowski and Allmendinger taken earlier in the round, this is a huge steal.
3-7 (BF) Martin Truex Jr… I would have taken Logano but Truex could do alright in MWR equipment.
3-8 (HB) Joey Logano
4-1 (HB) Sam Hornish… This is a No. 4 driver I wanted; Hornish showed some flashes last year. Just stay away from the wall.
4-2 (BF) David Ragan… Another No. 4 driver I was targeting.
4-3 (DS) Casey Mears
4-4 (IR) Jamie McMurray
4-5 (me) Elliott Sadler… After Ragan things got mighty, mighty thin. Sadler has been good in plate races. Hopefully someone shows up on waivers I can pick up later on.
4-6 (BR) Paul Menard
4-7 (CTD) Scott Speed
4-8 (PR): Travis Kvapil… As a full-time driver in 2008, Kvapil won a pole and had four top-10s. I’m just worried he could be a start-and-park driver.
5-1 (PR): Bobby Labonte… Doesn’t have full-sponsorship but a good pick at this spot.
5-2 (CTD) Robby Gordon
5-3 (BR) Aric Almirola
5-4 (me) Bill Elliott… Still running part time but started in top-10 five times last year.
5-5 (IR) Reed Sorenson
5-6 (DS) David Stremme
5-7 (BF) Michael Waltrip
5-8 (HB) Max Papis… Could get some calls a road course ringer.
6-1 (HB) Erik Darnell
6-2 (BF) John Andretti
6-3 (DS) David Gilliland
6-4 (IR) Regan Smith… Nice late-round pick. He’s got full sponsorship and no worried about start and park.
6-5 (me) Boris Said… Not much to pick from this late in the draft. Hopefully lands in a good car for Sonoma and Watkins Glen.
6-6 (BR) Mike Bliss
6-7 (CTD) Tony Raines
6-8 (PR) Kevin Conway
Draft League Settings
Fanball Draft & Play: 8 teams x 4 starters + 2 bench (48 rostered drivers)
NASCAR.com: 8×4 (32)
Ryan Rantz: 5×6 (30)
Eric McClung: 6×4 (24)
ESPN Fantasy Stock Car: (defunct) 6 x 3 starters + 1 bench (18)
Expert advice
- You will need to rely on your No. 1 and No. 2 drivers all season long. Target all-around drivers that perform well on intermediate tracks first. Don’t reach for any sleepers until your third pick, then start taking some chances.

Fantasy NASCAR Primer Series – Allocation Leagues (Yahoo! Fantasy Auto Racing)
January 18, 2010
Welcome to my weeklong Fantasy NASCAR Primer Series. This five-day series will take you through all of the ins, outs, straightaways, doglegs and tri-ovals of fantasy NASCAR. Here’s a breakdown to what’s in store:
Monday 1/18 - Allocation leagues
Tuesday 1/19 - Draft leagues
Wednesday 1/20 - Salary cap leagues
Thursday 1/21 - Changes to Yahoo! Fantasy Auto Racing driver lists
Friday 1/22 - Inside an expert fantasy draft
Unlike a draft league where you own your drivers all season or a salary cap league where any driver can be purchased, an allocation format has a maximum for the number of starts per driver. When the number of starts is limited, the margin for error shrinks. In order to conserve starts of top drivers you’ll need to rely heavily on sleepers and riding hot streaks.
Like in all fantasy games, be aware of the rules. The number of starts depends on the game. Here at On Pit Row you’ve got one shot per driver in the One & Done game. At Yahoo! it’s nine starts per season. At FOX Sports it’s four starts per driver in the first half of the season, then a new set of four in the second half.

Expert advice
· Yahoo! has three tiers of drivers, mixing things up in the C-List ranks is a great way to set yourself apart from other owners in order to outscore them.
· Yahoo! gives bonus points to the top-four qualifiers. Mix in a few drivers who have a shot at the pole, even if you don’t intend to start them. You’ll still get the bonus points! Last year, despite finishing 23rd in points, Martin Truex, Jr. won three poles and started inside the top-four a total of seven times.
· History has shown Jimmie Johnson turns it on late in the season, so your strategy should reflect this– keep some No. 48 starts in your pocket for the Chase.
· Most games have groups you can join and create; invite your friends to compete!
