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!
Well it's kind of a messy slate for cash games and single entries because the lineup build is pretty obvious. We're jamming in as many high end position difference plays as we can get (four of them) and then using cheaper punt type plays for the rest.

Good luck. Cup thoughts late Saturday night.

I'm very much looking forward to next week when we start a string of more traditional races. The last three weeks we've had the dirt nonsense, no passing Martinsville and now the demolition derby. It will be great to have a string of Dover, Kansas, Darlington, Charlotte, St. Louis, Sonoma and more coming up.
For Talladega cash games and single entry contests, we're using the time tested strategy of packing the back. A good chunk of the six man lineup jumps off the page leaving us with a few final decisions that will make or break the day. Obvious/Chalk Plays

Driver targets for cash games and single entries--
Here's what I'm thinking for Xfinity cash games and most single entry tournaments--
As always, it's hard with the Truck races because of same day qualifying. Here are a few notes on the main targets for me--
If I get a chance to add a few notes after starting spots are set, I'll put them below-- Back from vacation. Nothing for the Bristol dirt race today, but back in full force for Martinsville next week.
I won't have time to post anything for COTA this weekend. Things will be light on here the next couple of weeks (through Bristol dirt) because of Spring Break and other obligations.
The races were borderline unwatchable on Saturday, but hopefully you made some DFS money to make it worthwhile. I saw nothing to change my mind about how to approach cash games for Sunday's race. We want a modified superspeedway approach with guys starting further back in the field, but they must have a strong car or team. I'm not just indiscriminately taking anyone who's starting in the back as you might at a superspeedway. My cash game pool starts at 24th with Ryan Preece, so let's go through the list in starting order --
Here are a couple of tournament plays I like--
Just a quick write up for Saturday. New Atlanta is closest to a super speedway race where we see close together pack style racing and can expect a lot of cautions and cars crashing out of the race. We are also likely to see multiple leaders and no one getting more then about 8-10 fastest laps. So our key goals - especially in cash games - is finishing position, positive position difference and avoiding negative scores. One big difference from the super speedways is that this track is much shorter so it's easier for guys in inferior equipment to get lapped. So I'll be using a modified super speedway approach and looking for guys who have experience and are with good teams starting from about 20th on back. For Trucks, I'd start with John Hunter Nemechek in 24th. And for Xfinity, I'd start with Justin Haley in 18th.
Good luck on Saturday. I'll have more depth on the Cup race Saturday night. Sunday Morning Update: Cup Race
Here we go. Let's have a big day Sunday. I'm going to focus first on safer, cash game plays and then get into a few lower owned, upside plays for tournaments-- Top Cash Game Plays

Saturday Update -- With same day qualifying for the Xfinity Series, I won't get a chance to post anything for that race. But I will be able to put up a Cup article on Saturday night/Sunday morning, so check back then. Good luck this weekend. Lots of personal stuff this weekend, so not sure how much I'll be able to post. Here are a few pre-weekend notes.
Good luck. I'll try to post something else before the Cup race if I can and think it will be useful. |
