I started this blog to provide a casual, recreational level of fantasy NASCAR advice and discussion.  I've been playing these contests for a number of years and am annoyed by lineup sellers and groups of players using the same lineup.  I'm hoping to give the casual player some help in building solid lineups that can beat that annoying crowd most of the time.  I'm not a "tout" and don't do this for a living, so proceed accordingly.  I hope you enjoy the discussion here and Good Luck!

A very uncertain situation this weekend due to the weather.  Heavy/flooding rains are expected to begin on Friday and last well into Sunday.  It's unclear if there will be any dry time to allow any practice -- much less any racing -- to take place this weekend.  For now, I'm only going to post a few drivers who stand out coming into the weekend.  I'm not sure what else I'll be posting for this weekend.  Stay tuned.
  • Kyle Busch has been a beast here.  He won the race in 2015 and 2016.  He was absolutely dominant in 2016 -- starting from the pole, winning the race and leading 149 of 170 laps.  Last year, he was dominating again until the controversial restart where Martin Truex got loose down low and took them both out.  Busch again started from the pole last year and led 87 of the first 110 laps before the accident.  He has to be considered the favorite coming into the race.
  • As referenced above, Martin Truex was running up front last year and was the only car who was even in the same zip code as Busch.  He finished 4th in 2015 and 8th in 2016.  At $10,100, his price tag has come down quite a bit on DK.
  • Kevin Harvick has also predictably done well here lately.  In the past four races, he's finished 6th, 6th, 3rd and 8th.  He has not led any laps the last two races, but in 2015, he led 75 of the 164 laps run.
  • Joey Logano has five straight Top 8 finishes at Indy.  His last five races here, he's finished 4th, 7th, 2nd, 5th and 8th.  He's also finished 4th and 2nd the last two weekends this year, so he's on a bit of a roll coming into this race.  He is under priced at $8,600 DK.
  • Daniel Suarez started 15th and finished 7th here last year in his only Cup Series start at Indy.  He finished 7th and 3rd in two Xfinity Series starts here.
  • Matt Kenseth has finished 5th, 2nd, 7th, 4th and 5th in his last five races here -- albeit with Joe Gibbs Racing.  At $7,000 DK, he could be a target if he qualifies poorly or possibly if qualifying is rained out.
  • Chris Buescher started 26th and finished 9th here last year.  He is coming into this weekend with 4 straight Top 20 finishes this season -- including an impressive 13th place finish at Darlington last week.  He's reasonably priced at $6,500 DK.  A very good target assuming a reasonable starting spot.
  • William Byron is on the cheap side at $6,800 DK.  This will be his first Cup Series race at Indy, but he won his only Xfinity Series race here last year over a strong field that included Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Eric Jones and Paul Menard.  Another good value target pending his starting spot.
