NASCAR Fantasy Racing Preview: Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway

March 16, 2010

NASCAR’s amphitheatre, Bristol Motor Speedway, is known for aggressive driving and carnage on the race track. However, the resurfacing in 2007 added variable banking, opening up room but dialed down the beating and banging. The SAFER barrier has been extended, narrowing Turns Two and Four by nearly three feet, so perhaps some of the physicality may return. This is the first race on a short track this season, so the results over the past few weeks on intermediates carry some momentum, but little else.

Chasing the pole at Bristol Motor Speedway

  1. Mark Martin… Swept the poles last year at Bristol.
  2. Greg Biffle… Started fourth and second last year at Bristol.

NASCAR Fantasy Racing Preview: Kobalt Tools 500 from Atlanta Motor Speedway

March 3, 2010

With eight of the same drivers making up the Top 10 in two straight races, it is clear what teams have their intermediate program figured out. Momentum is key heading into third intermediate race in a row during this part of the schedule. Atlanta is first of eight races to be held on a 24 degree, 1.5 mile quad-oval but with the standings so top heavy, expect many of the same drivers to play similar parts.
