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!

I think this will be a crazy race similar to last Fall's race where we saw 12 cautions and 80 of 200 laps run behind the pace car. In the last four races here, we've seen an average of 8+ caution flags and over 60 laps run under caution. This means lots of restarts and lots of opportunity for lead changes and wrecks. I'm likely to play this more conservative with position difference guys as opposed to playing guys starting right up front. I'm really worried about wrecks and I don't think any one guy dominates huge chunks of this race.
  • Parker Klingerman - I think you've got to use him in cash games starting 37th. He's expensive, but I want to be conservative in this one and he's got +25 position difference upside.
  • Brett Moffitt - He'd be my top dominator choice if you want to go that route. He's very good at short tracks and is running really well right now. He led 80 laps and ran 50 fastest laps here last Fall. In the three Martinsville races prior to that, he finished 3rd, 2nd and 3rd. And he finished 2nd and 4th at Gateway and Richmond this year. Both of those tracks are short, flat tracks similar to Martinsville.
  • Sam Meyer - Has run really well in this truck and is really good at short tracks. Race winning upside starting 22nd.
  • Stewart Friesen - Very good at short tracks. 5th and 6th at Martinsville last year and 5th and 10th at Gateway and Richmond this year. 
  • Codie Rohrbaugh - Starts 35th for only $4,900. Easy punt play here. He finished a fluky 6th at Richmond earlier this season. He also finished 10th at Martinsville last Fall. 
  • Tate Fogleman - Way too cheap for a decent driver and a decent truck starting 27th. He ran 18th and 15th at Gateway and Richmond earlier this year. 
  • Carson Hocevar - Top 20 candidate. Ran 15th and 22nd at Gateway and Richmond earlier this year.
  • Spencer Davis - This truck has had Top 20 speed when he runs. Might be a little too expensive, but he's an option if you want to remain really conservative.
  • Ryan Truex and Trevor Bayne - Both have the upside to get you +10 position difference and have enough experience to make me feel pretty comfortable with them.
  • Todd Gilliland - He had the best truck at Gateway earlier this year but got wrecked by Sheldon Creed. He hasn't been running very well as the season winds down though.
  • Matt Crafton, Grant Enfinger, Ben Rhodes and Johnny Sauter -- the ThorSport trucks -- all run well at short tracks. I want nothing to do with Sauter or Rhodes. Sauter has been a mess this year and no one is going to play nice with Rhodes after what he pulled last week purposefully turning Christian Eckes into the wall because Eckes dared to race him hard. Crafton and Enfinger could win this thing. But they start too far forward for me to want to use them in cash games. Too risky and better, safer plays around them I think.

Just curious if you would lean Fogelman over Bayne? Thanks for your content.

Real close. But I do lean Fogleman over Bayne in cash games.
