NASCAR Fantasy Racing Preview: Coke Zero 400 from Daytona

The Independence Day fireworks could come a day early at Daytona International Speedway. With so many tempers flaring coming into the event and 10 drivers within 200 points of the Chase cutoff, expect some drivers to take desperate actions. The tight packs that form on restrictor plate tracks make for unpredictable outcomes, but be sure to review the results from the Daytona 500 and the spring race at Talladega Superspeedway prior to setting your fantasy lineup.

Contender Or Pretender: Daytona 2

Tony Stewart (Contender) - No driver has been better in the Daytona summer race over the last half decade than Tony Stewart. He’s the defending champion of this race and he’s won it on two other occasions (2005 & 2006). The summer race at Daytona is extremely slick and it plays right into Tony Stewart’s driving style. All of his career Daytona wins have come in the July race.

In 2007 “teammate issues” took Tony Stewart out early and in 2008 Tony Stewart raced competitively but was relieved by JJ Yeley midway through the race. Essentially Tony Stewart is three for three in the last five years when he completes the whole race.

Jeff Burton (Pretender) - I don’t care if Jeff Burton wins the pole, has the best handling car in practice, and guarantees a win. I’m simply not going to pick him this week. My evidence for not picking him can be found at New Hampshire, Infineon, Dover, Darlington, Talladega, Texas and Martinsville. One of my fantasy racing theories is that if a driver is having consistency issues restrictor plate tracks are not the place where its going to turn around.

Kevin Harvick (Contender) - No driver has been more consistent this season than Kevin Harvick. At tracks where car survivability is an issue I like to pick drivers who avoid DNF’s. In 2010 Kevin Harvick has zero DNF’s and throughout his career he’s done a good job avoiding them.

In the Daytona 500 this year Kevin Harvick had perhaps the best handling car in the field but circumstances at the end didn’t play out his way. From all of the restrictor plate races we’ve seen this year there’s no doubt that Kevin Harvick is going to be one of the drivers to beat Saturday night.

Ryan Newman (Pretender) – In the what have you done for me lately world of fantasy racing Ryan Newman hasn’t done anything at Daytona since his 2008 Daytona 500 victory. His average finish at Daytona since the biggest moment in his career is 31.5. In seventeen career starts at this track Newman has only finished in the top ten three times.

Carl Edwards (Contender) - Carl Edwards is very good in the summer race at Daytona. In the last three years his average finish in the Coke Zero 400 is 3.33. If NASCAR wasn’t so quick to throw out a caution in the summer 2008 race and let it play out like the 2007 Daytona 500 then I think Carl Edward’s would’ve won that race.

Denny Hamlin (Pretender) – In ten career starts at Daytona Denny Hamlin only has one career top ten. His lone top ten is also his only career top fifteen at Daytona. If you’re a big fan of qualifying then perhaps you’ll be happy to hear that Hamlin has only started outside the top twenty once at Daytona, but unfortunately qualifying means little here.

NASCAR Fantasy Racing Preview: 2010 Daytona 500 from Daytona International Speedway

The wait is nearly over. The 2010 edition of the Daytona 500 will soon be at hand. I’m back with On Pit Row for another round of the NASCAR Fantasy Racing Preview. Before we get to the rankings there are some notes to go over:

• My five-part Fantasy NASCAR Primer Series covers Allocation leagues, Draft leagues, Salary cap leagues, Changes to Yahoo! Fantasy Auto Racing driver lists and look inside a first-of-its-kind expert fantasy draft

• A shout out to the Onebadwheel Fantasy NASCAR Racing Cheat Sheet. Darren has put together a great tool that no fantasy player will want to be without.
• Another shout out to the guys at Running3Wide who are offering perhaps the widest selection of fantasy NASCAR games out there.

On Pit Row has several groups for you to battle against other fantasy players! Some groups already filled up so we are opening up more.

• Yahoo! Fantasy Auto Racing ID# 26538, password “daytona”
• ESPN Stock Car Challenge
• FOX Sports Auto Racing Challenge (salary cap) ID# 9138

Before we get to the ranks, I’ve built two NASCAR Fantasy Tools based on the results from last year.

• 2009 Average Finish at Daytona Speedweeks
• 2009 Average Finish at Restrictor Plate Races

After reviewing these tables one thing is very clear, plate racing is crazy and unpredictable. When it comes to your fantasy lineups come out of the gate with some curveballs. Elliot Sadler, Brad Keswlowski, David Ragan were the Top 3 drivers in plate races last year and A.J. Allmendinger was among the best drivers during speedweeks.
