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!

Trucks Gateway

For Sunday's Truck Series race, I'm just going to throw up some quick rankings by salary tier. One thing to remember if looking at past stats is that this race was typically run at night in the past. This race will start Sunday just after 11 am local time.

Expensive
  • Sheldon Creed - Best cash game play because he's starting 17th. Should gain 10-15 positions.
  • Zane Smith - Consistently fast every single week and starts from the pole. The only question is whether the speed carries over to this first flat track race of the Trucks Series season.
  • Brett Moffitt - If Smith doesn't dominate early, Moffitt probably will. Been really good here and at Martinsville (another flat track) in the past. For me, it's a coin flip between Smith and Moffitt.
  • Christian Eckes - Back at a track he's done well at with the same crew chief. Starts 7th so offers a few + position difference points as well.


Mid-Tier
  • Raphael Lessard - He's been running a little better lately and should push for a Top 10 finish.
  • Grant Enfinger - Led 52 laps last year at Gateway. Offers position difference upside as well starting 11th.
  • Sam Meyer - In the very strong #24 truck. Ran fine in this truck last week at Dover.
  • Stewart Friesen - Was very good at Gateway and similar Martinsville last year. But this year has been a big struggle for them after switching manufacturers in the off-season.

Cheap
  • Danny Bohn - Replacing Brennan Poole in the #30 truck. This is a pretty solid truck and Bohn has a lot of experience at flat tracks like this. Ran well at Martinsville in this truck last year. Only concern is no practice and no truck races so far this season.
  • Tyler Hill - Solid option with +10 position difference expectation.
  • Natalie Decker - She's in a Niece truck, which will be Top 20 equipment in what is a bit of a watered down field this week.
  • Dawson Cram - Running decent lately and should be able to push for a Top 20 in a watered down field. Only question is how things stand with Cram and Long splitting.
