NASCAR Fantasy Racing Preview: Emory Healthcare 500 Motor Speedway

September 1, 2010

The return trip to Atlanta Motor Speedway is a great time for fantasy owners to take advantage of the three races held on 1.5-mile tracks with 24 degrees of corner banking. Texas Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway have also hosted one event each, so I’ve put together another Fantasy Tool to highlight the best finishers from those races and provided a link to last year’s version.

NASCAR Fantasy Racing Preview: Carfax 400 from Michigan Speedway

August 11, 2010

The NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit returns to the 2.0-mile, D-shaped oval track at Michigan International Speedway for the second time this season. In addition to the June race at MIS, review the results from Auto Club Speedway. Fontana has less banking but is the only other 2.0-mile track on the schedule. The most recent intermediate race was held at Chicagoland Speedway, which has very similar banking to MIS.
Fuel mileage has created a lot of luck in both directions for drivers at Michigan, so pay close attention to loop data statistics like average running position over basics such as Top Fives and Top 10s.

Chasing the pole at Michigan International Speedway

  1. Kurt Busch… Won the pole in March, started fifth and sixth last year.
  2.  Jamie McMurray… Started second in March. Won the pole at Fontana and and Chicagoland.
  3. Jimmie Johnson… Started third in March, third and fourth last year. Started second at Chicagoland.
