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!

Saturday Update -- For cash games, probably just using guys starting 20th on back. I think the studs up front will battle and split up the few laps led and fastest laps points that are available. And Xfinity road races tend to have chaos. Focusing almost exclusively on position difference and guys who can finish Top 15ish. Don't be afraid to leave salary on the table like a super speedway race.

Add Harvick to the list starting 20th. He finished 4th at COTA with the same team. Rodney Childers is working with the crew.


Added some post-practice notes in bold.

Back to the road courses where I've had a lot of success this year. It started with the $20K GPP win in the Trucks Series race at the Daytona road course and continued with the $1,500 GPP win in the Cup Series race at Sonoma.

It's tough on these weeks with same day qualifying. For now, I'm going to list my expected driver pool and I'll add some notes after Friday's practice. For those newer to the site, I generally focus on a cash game, double up or 50/50 approach. But I'll generally include a few riskier plays that have tournament winning upside.

So here's the list in a rough order of my ranking before practice and qualifying taking into account their salary and scoring potential--
  • A.J. Allmendinger -- Still my top guy. Cindric was faster in practice, but I think AJ is better at managing the race. Should be a good battle up front. 
  • Austin Cindric -- Rocket ship in the few practice laps they got it.
  • Kyle Busch
  • Ty Gibbs
  • Andy Lally -- Said he had a power steering issue in practice. Thinks all will be fine and they have Top 15 speed.
  • Kaz Grala -- Really like his chances. 11th, 5th and 4th at last three Road America races.
  • Josh Bilicki -- Brake issue in practice so only ran one lap. It was pretty fast. 
  • Brett Moffitt
  • Myatt Snider
  • Alex Labbe
  • Kris Wright
  • Jade Buford
  • Preston Pardus
  • Jeremy Clements
  • Tommy Joe Martins
  • Riley Herbst -- He's going to a back up car and will start from the rear after wrecking in practice. He may take it easy in qualifying and have an official starting spot deeper in the field, so might become a viable option. Would have to start pretty far back though and depends on other plays that might be available. 
  • Noah Gragson -- Like Herbst, Noah will start from the rear due to an engine change. Check his official starting spot to see if he is an option. Has 4th and 6th place finishes here. 

Obviously, if a top tier team/driver qualifies poorly they come into play even if not on the main target list.

Bets
  • Allmendinger +130 Busch
  • Snider -115 Clements
  • Bilicki +25000 to win -- Throw away money obviously, but this is by far the best car Bilicki will have driven here. He's a local Wisconsin guy who came up as a road course racer. He is a road course racing instructor and teaches at Road America. Has raced here a ton. Way crazier things have happened.
