NASCAR FANTASY LIVE PICKS, 2015 DOVER, FEDEX 400

The last time that we had a short track with drivers with consistent histories, I made the mistake of calling the track predictable. All four of my Yahoo drivers for the week proceeded to wreck in the race, and the fantasy gods had their day. Two months later, we have Dover International Speedway, where a few drivers are typically dominant. This time, I will not go as far as to call the track predictable in order to keep luck on my side.

Based on the amount of laps at the short track and the consistency of some drivers, my best suggestion is to front-load your lineup with the top three spots and fill the remaining two spots with the best budget driver possible.

My first choice as a recommended driver has not finished outside the top-20 in the last 20 races at Dover. With 2,581 laps led since 2005 at Dover, Jimmie Johnson is over 1,500 laps higher than the second driver in this categories (Kyle Busch 1,011). Over the last five races at the track, Johnson has led the most laps of any driver and has the most fast laps. During the same time span, he has spent 95% of his laps running in the top-15 and an average finish position of 5.0. Unless there is an unforeseen circumstance, Jimmie Johnson is an obvious choice for your lineup this week.

Kevin Harvick is going to continue to stay in my lineup until he cools off. He has provided the most fantasy live points per dollar of any driver in 2015. His Dover numbers are strong enough to continue to have him on your team. Since 2005, Harvick has led the third-most laps of any driver in the series and has a decent average finish position of 11.4. While there are other drivers with better numbers who will be off my roster this week, Harvick has spent 75% of his laps in the top-15. His long-term numbers should not scare you off either. While he has not been a dominant car, he has eight top-10 finishes and 17 top-20 finishes since 2005 at Dover. Keep Harvick in your lineup this week.

There are four drivers with dominant track numbers who are fighting for the third roster spot on my rosters. Two are recent fathers, and one is retiring at the end of the season. With the numbers being close, I am going to leave Kyle Busch off my team. Kyle Busch has the second-most laps led over the last five years and is a consistent driver at the track. With the numbers being close, Kyle Busch has a slightly higher risk associated with his leg injury. Matt Kenseth, with 12 top-5 finishes at Dover since 2005 can also be considered for your roster. Keselowski has been better in 2015 and runs strong at Dover, but Jeff Gordon’s numbers are too tempting to pass up. Early in the week, I will lean towards Jeff Gordon for the third roster spot while keeping a close eye on qualifying.

Gordon has been one of the least valuable drivers for Fantasy Live in 2015. He has not necessarily struggled, but he has not been rewarding fantasy owners even when the track numbers are in his favor. Over the past five races at Dover, Gordon has the best average finish position in the series (5.0). Also, he has spent 97% of his laps running in the top-15. His drawback is that he has only spent 98 of these laps at the front of the lineup. Over the long-term, Gordon has nine top-10 and 17 top-20 finishes since 2005. He has a high probability for success this week.

The drawback for a race where the top drivers are dominant is that finding budget options at the bottom of your roster proves to be more challenging. Cole Whitt has a 28th place average in three races at the track and has provided enough value to be functional at the bottom of your roster. With 3.33 fantasy points per dollar throughout 2015, Matt DiBenedetto has been the most valuable driver with a salary cap figure under $10.00 in 2015. Although he has no track history, he does not need to do a lot to provide value with such a low salary cap hit. I will keep an eye after qualifying and may tweak my lineup based on who is at the back of the field.

FANTASY NASCAR LIVE SALARY CAP

Fantasy Live on nascar.com uses a scoring system that combines fast laps, laps led, start-to-finish differential, and finish position. In order to prevent us from starting the top drivers every week, Fantasy Live uses a salary cap format. Our formula determines the average number of Fantasy Live points earned by each driver over the last five Dover races. Next, we divide that number by their salary cap figure to unveil which drivers are expected to provide the most value for your lineup each week. Kyle Busch is a slight risk with his leg injury, but I may regret leaving him off my roster for a safer option. As a consolation prize, we will use his Dover numbers to further illustrate our formula.

KYLE BUSCH AT DOVER

  • Laps led last five Dover races: 563 equals 56.3 fantasy live points
  • Fast laps last five Dover races: 187 equals 18.7 fantasy live points
  • Average finish position last five Dover races: 13.6 equals 30.4 fantasy live points
  • Start-to-finish differential last five Dover races: Negative 8.4 equals (-8.4) fantasy live points
  • Average number of points last five Dover races: 97
  • Fantasy Live Salary Cap Figure: $25.25
  • Points per Fantasy Dollar: 3.84

Below you will find the Fantasy Live points per dollar for each driver over the last five Dover races. Recommended drivers are in bold. We will use the 2015 numbers for all drivers with no history in Delaware. Good luck with your lineups as the summer series kicks off.

2015 Dover International Speedway, FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks

A 600-mile race won on gas mileage. Great work by the crew-chiefs and a gutsy call, but I’m not a fan of watching races like this. Not much anyone can do about it other than throwing a late race caution for debris or something which wouldn’t be right either. Anyway, congratulations to Carl Edwards on picking up his first win of the season and first with Joe Gibbs Racing. Carl is now qualified for the Chase and he can relax a little bit although this team still needs to become more consistent before the Chase starts.

FEDEX 400 BENEFITING AUTISM SPEAKS

This week the series heads to Dover International Speedway which is one of my favorite tracks on the circuit. Known as ‘The Monster Mile’ DIS is a one-mile high banked oval track that often allows for some exciting racing. Drivers have more than one groove to work at this track and can pass on either the inside or outside with a lot of room to spare.

Jimmie Johnson: Once again I will pick Jimmie to win the race this week at Dover. With nine career wins in twenty-six starts at this track, it is hard to pick anyone else. How can you lose with a guy who wins one out of every three times he comes to the track? He has also finished in the top ten in nineteen of those twenty-six starts. Even if they have more wins than any other driver at this point of the season, this team would like to just keep adding to that total.

Jeff Gordon: Jeff is no slouch at this track either. With five wins and eighteen top five finishes in forty-four starts, Jeff is another driver that gets the job done here consistently. One of his five wins came here last September and he has finished in the top five in four of his last five starts. If you want to take anyone other than Jimmie, take Jeff.

Matt Kenseth: Matt has won two races at this track in his career and has finished in the top five in fifteen of his thirty-two starts at Dover. Those are more impressive numbers and with Matt sitting on the pole last week at Charlotte and all of the Gibbs teams showing a lot of speed and power, this might be the week Matt picks up his second win of the season.

Brad Keselowski: Brad has one win at this track and finished second in both races here last year. That tells me that he has a great handle on the track and none of the Penske teams had any mechanical issues last week at Charlotte in a long race, which is something they can’t say every week this year. Brad should have a fast car and has finished in the top five here in four of his last five starts.

Kyle Busch: Kyle came back for his first points race since breaking a leg and ankle at Daytona the very first week of the season and completed the 600-mile race and had a car that was in contention at the end of the race. He also said he felt very good so, I think it is safe to say he can finish a 400-mile race without any problems. Kyle has two wins at Dover and has finished in the top five in nine of his twenty starts at this track.

Joey Logano: Joey is looking for his first career win at this track but, he has finished in the top ten in eight of his twelve starts and always has a fast car. Once again last week they had a car that was fast in practice and qualifying, but they couldn’t keep up with the changing track conditions and faded as the race progressed last week. I think they need to take a few chances as they anticipate the track changing and not wait until their cars handling goes away.

Ryan Newman: Ryan has won three races at this track and has finished in the top ten in thirteen of his twenty-six starts here. Ryan needs to pick up a win to get qualified for the Chase, so he doesn’t have to worry about getting in based on points. I think we are going to have a few more winners who get qualified and no one wants to hope they can make it based on points.

Carl Edwards: Carl has one win at Dover and ran very well here on a consistent basis early in his career. Lately he hasn’t had the results he wants, as he has only one top ten finish in his last six starts here, but he is on a new team this season and has momentum from the win he picked up last week at Charlotte. I think this team will continue to improve as the year progresses.

Clint Bowyer: Clint is still looking for his first win at Dover, but he has finished in the top ten here in his last eight starts. This is the track that Clint could get his first win of the year at and it would propel him into the Chase. They haven’t been good on a consistent basis this season and unless they improve dramatically in the next month, they will need a win to qualify for the Chase.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Dale picked up his lone win here back in the 2001 season. However, he has run much better here recently and has finished in the top ten in four of his last six starts at Dover. Actually, this team has performed consistently for most of the season and have a contending car every week they haven’t had mechanical issues. Look for Dale to come away with another top ten finish this weekend.

NASCAR FANTASY LIVE PICKS, 2015 CHARLOTTE, COCA-COLA 600

After a week off from fantasy racing due to the All-Star race, we stay at Charlotte this weekend for the longest race of the NASCAR season. 600-miles is a battle of attrition to the drivers and teams in NASCAR and can also feel like a battle of attrition to those of us watching with young kids in the house. Difficulties aside, Memorial Day is always an exciting racing weekend. Due to the extra laps, front-loading your lineup is important this week. My suggestion, like most weeks, is to choose your three favorite drivers and fill in the rest of your roster with the best budget options available.

The driver who has the highest probability for success this week is Kevin Harvick. For the 2015 season, Harvick is rewarding us with a series-best 4.87 points per Fantasy Live dollar. He should be considered for your lineup every week. Combined with his 2015 numbers, Harvick also has a series best average finish position of 5.2 over the last five Charlotte races. During the same time span, he has spent an astounding 97% of his laps running in the top-15. Even though he has a commanding salary cap figure, you have to keep starting Kevin Harvick in all fantasy NASCAR formats.

The next driver for my suggested lineup is a high-risk high-reward racer on most weeks. At Charlotte, Kasey Kahne is among the most successful drivers in the series. With a 7.2 average finish position over the past five Charlotte races, Kahne has the second best average finish position in the series. He also has the second-most laps led in the series. With 13 top-10 finishes in his last 20 races at the North Carolina track, Kahne is a lower risk than most weeks. His salary cap figure is slightly lower than the other front-runners and should provide a little more flexibility at the bottom of your roster.

With 347 laps led over the last five Charlotte races, Jimmie Johnson will likely find success this week. Johnson has already won three races this season and is one of the top drivers in the series over the last few weeks. His 93% of his laps in the top-15 is second-best in the series to Kevin Harvick. Over the first 11 races in 2015, Jimmie Johnson is rewarding fantasy owners with 2.80 points per fantasy dollar. For the top drivers in the series, he is providing the second-most value per dollar.

With high dollar options for the top three drivers on my roster, there is little salary cap room for the final two spots. I have ignored David Gilliland for the 2015 season because he consistently runs in the bottom third. His track data, as evidenced by his 29th place average over the last five Charlotte races, is not overly impressive. In 2015, he is offering over three points per fantasy dollar. Most of this is due to a plus nine start-to-finish differential. Gilliland will stay on my roster unless he qualifies better than average. I may sub Chase Elliott for Gilliland depending on practice times and qualifying.

Another driver who benefits from start-to-finish differential is Matt DiBenedetto. With a plus seven figure and an average finish position of 30th, he is providing great value in 2015. While these numbers do not sound overly impressive, the translation is 3.78 fantasy points per dollar this year. This value is third-best in the series behind Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch.

FANTASY NASCAR LIVE SALARY CAP

Fantasy Live on nascar.com uses a scoring system that combines fast laps, laps led, finish position, and start-to-finish differential. In order to prevent us from simply starting the top drivers every week, Fantasy Live uses a salary cap format. Our formula calculates the average number of Fantasy Live points earned by each driver over the last five Charlotte races. Next, we divide this number by the Fantasy Live salary cap figure. The end result is that we know which drivers will provide the most value each week. Kurt Busch does not have the track history at Charlotte, but has provided the second-most value of any driver in the series in 2015. As a consolation prize, we will use his Charlotte numbers to further illustrate the formula.

KURT BUSCH AT CHARLOTTE

  • Laps Led last five Charlotte races: 10 laps equals 1 points per race
  • Fast laps last five Charlotte races: 37 laps equals 3.7 points per race
  • Average finish position: 17.8 equals 26.2 points per race
  • Start-to-finish differential: Negative 3.4 equals (-3.4) points per race
  • Average number of points last five Charlotte races: 27.50
  • Fantasy Live salary cap figure: $25.50
  • Points per dollar: 27.5 divided by 25.5 equals 1.08 points per dollar

Below you will find the points per dollar rankings for each driver. For drivers with no track history, we will use 2015 numbers. Feel free to add your team to the comments section and check the comments after qualifying for any additional updates.

2015 Charlotte Motor Speedway, Coca-Cola 600

I would like to welcome Kyle Busch back to the series and I hope he is healthy enough to contend for some wins this season. After this weekend’s race we will be a third of the way through the season and there are eight drivers qualified for the Chase with eight spots yet to fill. Remember, we still have two road course races to go and another restrictor plate race before the start of the Chase.

COCA-COLA 600

This week the series remains in Charlotte at the Charlotte Motor Speedway for the running of the Coca-Cola 600. This is the longest race of the season in terms of mileage and this race could take it’s toll on engines. Charlotte is another of the mile and a half tracks that are very numerous on the circuit. One thing I like about this race is that it starts with daylight and ends after dark. That means the crews need to keep adjusting the cars to keep them in contention for the win. Those who are fast early in the race often find themselves out of contention with an ill handling car as the race gets closer to the conclusion.

Kevin Harvick: I think Kevin had the best long run car in the All-Star race and I will pick him to win his third race of the season this weekend. Kevin has had fast cars all year and he hasn’t had many issues with his equipment. He seems to communicate well with his crew chief and then the correct adjustments are made to the car. They never seem to get very excited and with two wins on the season, there is no reason for them to. He also won this race two years ago, finished second in it last year, and won the fall race at this track last season.

Jimmie Johnson: With seven career wins in twenty-seven starts at Charlotte, Jimmie is always a contender at the end of these races. He wasn’t particularly fast in the All-Star race last weekend, but I think this team will be much improved this weekend. Anyone who finishes in the top 5 in almost half of his starts at any track is a must have on your fantasy roster.

Joey Logano: Joey has yet to win a race here, but he has finished in the top ten in seven of his twelve starts. This is another driver who has had fast cars almost every week this year. My concern is the number of mechanical issues the Penske teams have had this season, and this is a long race that will be hard on equipment. They also seem to be fast early in races, but can’t quite make the necessary adjustments as the track changes during a race.

Kasey Kahne: Kasey has four career wins here and won this race three years ago. This is one of Kasey’s favorite places to run and I look for him to come away with another top ten finish this weekend. Kasey would like to pick up a win as soon as possible so he doesn’t have to wait until just before the Chase starts to get himself qualified.

Jeff Gordon: Jeff has five career wins at Charlotte and is looking for his first win of the season. He finished second here last October and he has finished in the top ten in over half of his forty-four career starts here. This team needs to have a good run and get some confidence back in Jeff’s final full-time season.

Matt Kenseth: Matt has always run well at Charlotte and has two wins to show for it. He is another driver who has finished in the top ten in just over half of his thirty-one starts here. This team already has a win this season and is qualified for the Chase so they don’t have any pressure on them. They can take a chances to try and win a few more races before the Chase begins.

Kyle Busch: Kyle has never won a race at Charlotte and 600-miles is going to test his endurance a little bit after breaking his leg and ankle in a crash at Daytona at the beginning of the season. I think he should be fine for this race as there isn’t a lot of shifting to do. His real test will come on the road course race in California a month from now.

Denny Hamlin: Denny won his first race at Charlotte last week in the All-Star race. Now he looks to win his first points race here. He has eleven top ten finishes in his nineteen starts and has a lot of confidence after last weekend’s win. This team needs to stay ahead of the changing track conditions which is where they seem to struggle as races progress this season.

Jamie McMurray: Jamie has two career wins at this track and he always seems to run well in the big races. He finished in the top five in both of his races here last year and this team has had a good season so far. I think they will pick up a win and make the Chase this year and that is all you can ask for if you are a driver.

Kurt Busch: Kurt picked up his only points race win here back in 2010. He has been very good every week since missing the first three races of the season due to a suspension and already has picked up a win and is qualified for the Chase. Kurt won’t be happy with only one win before the Chase and the attitude he has is to go out and do everything in his power to win every race he is entered in.

NASCAR Fantasy Live 2015 Spring Summary

We are already a third of the way through the NASCAR season. With a week away from Fantasy Live for the All Star Race, this is a good week to review the first 11 races of the season.

Our weekly Fantasy Live article often focuses on each driver’s performance at the weekly track, but taking into account the 2015 results is also important. With eleven races into the season, we now have enough data where we can see which drivers are providing the best value in each group.

Not that this is a surprise to anyone this year, but the driver who has provided the most fantasy live value per salary cap dollar is Kevin Harvick. In eleven races in 2015, Kevin Harvick has spent 92% of his laps in the top-15. He will continue to be the among the favorites every week. With a series-best 4.87 per Fantasy Live dollar, Harvick is a must start every week.

Since returning from his early suspension, Kurt Busch has been one of the top drivers in the series. He is competing well in tracks where he usually struggles. One more solid finish and Kurt Busch will graduate to the top tier of drivers. With three less starts than the other drivers, Kurt Busch is second in total laps led and has spent 85% of his laps running in the top-15. He should produce at a level that you would expect Jimmie Johnson, Joey Logano or Brad Keselowski.

The third tier has proven to be the least productive group. With a couple exceptions (see Allmendinger expanded driver averages at Watkins Glen), I would not roster any driver with a price range between $15.00 to $20.00. The least valuable driver in the series, Tony Stewart, is in this tier. With 0.38 points per dollar and an average finish position of 28th place, Tony Stewart cannot be considered for your roster. I am expecting his numbers to improve during the summer months as he traditionally performs better after Memorial Day.

While compiling this article, I was surprised to see the value that David Gilliland has provided this season. He is not flashy, as evidenced by his 24th place average. One of the areas where Gilliland is generated points is start-to-finish differential. With a plus nine in this category, Gilliland earns enough points to be worth his $10.75 salary cap value. I will be more mindful of the #38 car going forward.

In the bottom drivers, Matt DiBenedetto has quietly become a valuable option. He will start at 40th place and finish 34th on most tracks. The 15 Fantasy Live points generated provides value for your roster. Due to his success, his salary cap value is starting to clim a little so he may provide less value as the season progresses. Eighty percent of regular drivers with a salary cap figure are earning two points per fantasy dollar making the bottom drivers the safest ones to pick. The value at the bottom is one of the reasons I suggest front-loading your lineup every week.

FANTASY NASCAR LIVE SALARY CAP

Fantasy Live on nascar.com uses a scoring system that combines fast laps, laps led, finish position, and start-to-finish differential. In order to prevent us from simply starting the best drivers every week, fantasy live uses a salary cap format. Our formula simply calculates the average number of points earned by each driver for the last five races at a track. Next, we divide that number by the salary cap number to determine the value of each driver. The numbers below reflect the value for each driver for the eleven 2015 races.
