Fantasy NASCAR Racing Preview: Shelby American 400 at Las Vegas

As the first of 10 races at 1.5 mile intermediate tracks, the results from Las Vegas Motor Speedway will preview what is to come next week at Atlanta Motor Speedway and perhaps beyond. After this stretch of races are three races on short and/or flat tracks before heading to Texas Motor Speedway for another intermediate course.

In all, there are seven 1.5 mile tracks on the Sprint Cup schedule. Three feature 24 degree banking in the corners (Atlanta, Texas and Charlotte Motor Speedway) and each hold two races a piece. Las Vegas, Chicagoland Speedway, Kansas Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway all fall into the “other” grouping of 1.5 tracks. Each holds one race each which are spread out on the schedule. At 20 degrees in the corners, LVMS features the most banking among them which was part of the redesign for the 2007 season.

Contender Or Pretender: Las Vegas

Jeff Gordon (Contender) – Some fantasy NASCAR prognosticators will say some funny things this week like “I don’t think Jeff will race hard at Las Vegas because he’s afraid of hitting the inside wall again”. Come on guys, surely you can do better than that.

His big wreck at Las Vegas was in 2008. When you go around that year over the last five years his other finishes were 4th, 5th, 2nd & 6th. Not to bad. When he wrecked at Vegas in 2008 he was also running towards the front of the pack.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. (Pretender) – I don’t mean to sound like a cherry picker this early in this post but Earnhardt Jr has actually been pretty good at Las Vegas over the last three years. His average finish over that span is 7.6. Last year he finished 10th. I don’t want anyone looking at Dale Jr stats and thinking they’re going to be sneaky and get a good finish out of him this week. It might happen, but at Las Vegas I would take the gamble and say it won’t.

Jimmie Johnson (Contender) – Not  to be a cherry picker here again but if you missed it Jimmie hasn’t been very good here lately. He swept this race from 2005 to 2007, but in the COT era he’s been pretty bad. How bad you may ask? Well 29th and 24th bad (those are uncompetitive numbers, not crash numbers). Forget all that because this weekend the Champ wants back his Las Vegas champions belt.

Denny Hamlin (Pretender) – Last year at California Denny Hamlin was a challenger for the victory. Last week at California he was a 20th place car. At this point in time the 11 car for the most part has looked lost in both races. I hate to throw it out there but is the foot a problem, or are they just not as competitive this year?

Kyle Busch (Contender) – This is Kyle’s home track and he’s also the defending champion of the race. Last year he won the pole, started at the back of the pack (engine change), and drove to victory. He definitely earned that one. Last year in the fall Texas race he smoked the field but was denied the win. Look for him to be a contender on Sunday.

Tony Stewart (Pretender) – Has he passed anyone on the track this year yet? Well the answer to that is yes. In 2010 he has a pass differential of 2. So far in both races this year I’ve been less than impressed with this teams performances. Despite his ninth place finish at California don’t  be fooled, he’ll be a pretender at Vegas. Stewart scores a top ten at Vegas about fifty percent of the time and I know there’s better odds out there.

Get Inside My Head: A Scary Look at a Fantasy Racing Draft

NASCAR fantasy racing isn’t as big as fantasy football or fantasy baseball, but it’s growing. There are more fantasy racing games being offered than ever. Some NASCAR fantasy games are free, like the One and Done NASCAR game here at OnPitRow.com. Other games charge to play and offer opportunities for money prizes.

RTSports.com offer a menu of pay to play games and RTS is hosting a NASCAR experts game for the fantasy sports site KFFL.com.

Cory Bonini of KFFL invited me to join five other guys from around the NASCAR fantasy world to participate in a NASCAR fantasy draft and play out the season in the game. Cory wrote a post recapping the draft that you can read here. Below are the participants in that draft and the draft order.

• Adam Ansell, RotoExperts.com
• Charlie Turner, OnPitRow.com
• Chris Thompson, RTSports.com
• Cory J. Bonini, KFFL.com
• Darren Fauth, OneBadWheel.com
• Alan Boodman, RacingReference.info

This was the first NASCAR fantasy draft for me and I thought some of you might be interested in what went into my choices. So here goes, along with some of Cory’s comments concerning my picks. The draft was five rounds, serpentine format (draft order reverses each round)

Round 1, my pick no. 2 - I knew for a couple days that I would have the 2nd overall pick. I was pretty sure that Adam would take Jimmie Johnson with the first pick. I am still sold on the quality of the Hendrick Motorsports teams. So one thing that went into my overall thinking about the draft was that I wanted at least one - but preferably two - of Hendrick cars on my team. Jeff Gordon, in my opinion, is just a tick behind Johnson at the top. I liked Carl Edwards too. But since this was a serpentine draft, and I wouldn’t pick again until pick no. 11, I wanted Gordon. Plenty of experts are picking Denny Hamlin to win it all. I think the knee takes enough of an edge off during a 36-plus race season to knock him out. Cory took Kyle Busch over Hamlin and I think he got the best Toyota. And yes, I would have taken Johnson if Adam hadn’t.

Round 2, my pick - no.11 -  Off the board, Johnson, J. Gordon, Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, Hamlin,  Mark Martin in round 1 and Ryan Newman, Edwards, Greg Biffle and Kurt Busch were the first four in the second round. I would be picking again at pick no. 14. I rated the four best drivers left at this point to be Matt Kenseth (best remaining Ford), Juan Pablo Montoya (I think best Earnhardt-Ganasi Chevy), Clint Bowyer (again, I think the best of the RCR teams) and Earnhardt. I rated Kenseth and Bowyer above the others. I made my choice based on Chevy over Ford. I am not yet sold on the Ford’s ability to beat the Chevy’s consistently.

Adam followed up taking Kenseth. Cory commented that “Bowyer and Kenseth may prove to be reaches.”

Round 3, my pick no.14 -  Adam started off the round taking Montoya, and Cory liked that pick. Now I’m up and my board has Dale Earnhardt Jr as the man. I took him. Here are the three reasons why. 1. Last of the Hendrick Motorsport drivers available. As I said, they are the best. 2. Chevy team - already explained. 3. I had spoken with Boris Said On Pit Row the previous Tuesday. Boris is convinced that Junior is primed for a very good season. Said sold me on Earnhardt’s talent and the team’s ability to win races.

Not everyone agrees. Cory said Junior was “the biggest reach of this round” and “in my opinion, he’s the most overrated driver in all of the NASCAR”. Given the choice though, I’m going with Boris opinion.

The rest of the round went Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Jeff Burton and Joey Logano.

Round 4, my pick no. 22 - The next off the board were Marcos Ambrose, David Reautiman, Kevin Harvick and Elliott Sadler. I selected David Ragan. My first non-Chevy and I had him rated higher than all of the above except for Harvick. I considered Martin Truex Jr here. I chose the stability of Ragan’s Roush-Fenway team. Plus I did want a Roush car (best Ford team). Truex Jr was taken next by Adam.

Round 5, my pick no.24 - Adam’s final pick was Brad Keselowski - a choice I like. I grabbed Jamie McMurray, who Cory called “a solid but unspectacular racer” which I agree with. Jamies’s Chevy power trumped a possible A J Allmendinger or Sam Hornish Jr pick for me. The draft finished up with Hornish, Allmendiger, Paul Menard and Bobby Labonte.

Here are the teams as drafted:

Adam Ansell

• Jimmie Johnson
• Matt Kenseth
• Brad Keselowski
• Juan Pablo Montoya
• Martin Truex Jr.

Alan Boodman

• Marcos Ambrose
• Bobby Labonte
• Joey Logano
• Mark Martin
• Ryan Newman

Chris Thompson

• Kurt Busch
• Sam Hornish Jr.
• Kasey Kahne
• Elliott Sadler
• Tony Stewart

Cory J. Bonini

• A.J. Allmendinger
• Greg Biffle
• Kyle Busch
• Kevin Harvick
• Brian Vickers

Darren Fauth

• Jeff Burton
• Carl Edwards
• Denny Hamlin
• Paul Menard
• David Reutimann

Charlie Turner

• Clint Bowyer
• Dale Earnhardt Jr.
• Jeff Gordon
• Jamie McMurray
• David Ragan

The way the league is played, each player starts four of his five drivers and starters need to be selected before qualifying.

The Daytona 500 worked out well for me. I started all of my Chevy drivers, sitting Ragan in the lone Ford. The decision for me was between Ragan and McMurray for starter number four. Jamie’s past win at Daytona saved me from embarrassment. My top three finishers finished 1st, 2nd and 4th. Jeff Gordon, my top pick, finished outside the top 20.

That decision on starters will be tough all year. For California, the NASCAR statistics told me to sit Junior.

Damn this is hard.

NASCAR Fantasy Racing Preview: 2010 Auto Club 500 from Auto Club Speedway

The racing at Auto Club Speedway is very fast and very spread out. The leaders can jump out to big leads. The long green flag runs can bring fuel mileage into play at the end of the race. This week will be the first test of each team’s intermediate package which will be important for the upcoming races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway.

The most similar track is Michigan International Speedway where the 15th and 23rd races on the schedule are held. Auto Club Speedway will not get another visit until its Chase event, No. 30 on the schedule.
