NASCAR Fantasy Live Picks, 2014 Watkins Glen, Cheez-It 355

Kyle Busch Watkins Glen I Love NY

Pocono is not known for multi-car wrecks and most fantasy lineups were affected by the thirteen car incident. We should be able to gain some of our lost points back this week as NASCAR moves north for the second road course of the season. Generally, Watkins Glen is a predictable track, and we should expect some clear frontrunners. You should expect to have a successful week, as there are some good bargains from road course specialists to take advantage of this week.

Marcus Ambrose is the clear first choice at Watkins Glen. Ambrose is the only driver to lead a lap in the last five races and is second in total laps led in the last five years with 97. His average finish position is third among active drivers since 2005, his average running position is second, and he has the highest loop data score. With 121 laps where he was the fastest driver on the track and running in the top 15 for 85% of his laps, every data point reveals a high probability for success.

Along with Ambrose, Kyle Busch is also a clear choice for the road course. Kyle Busch has led the most laps of any driver in the last five years and boasts the best average finish position of 4.6 since 2005 at the track. He was in the top 15 for 92% of his laps and has an average running position of 5.4. Like Ambrose, Kyle Busch is an obvious pick with a high probability of success.

The third pick will go to AJ Allmendinger, who provides tremendous value due to his low salary cap figure. With an 8.8 average finish position, Allmendinger has the fifth-best average finish position since 2005. His average running position of 11.5 and 70% of laps in the top 15 are not as dominant as Ambrose or Busch, but there is enough consistency to pick him. Allmendinger’s biggest drawback is only 8 laps led and 8 fast laps in the last five years. Despite this concern, he should be worth the start.

Landon Cassill provides decent value, and I am picking him this week to add a better fifth driver. With an average finish position of 25.5 and a loop data of 40, Cassill’s numbers are not particularly impressive. He has, however, the best fantasy points per dollar since 2008. I suggested Cassill last week and he wrecked. I hope he makes up for it at Watkins Glen. Boris Said, with the same salary cap figure, was tempting here. I cannot get over how poor the equipment was during his last start at Sonoma. You could easily start Said instead of Cassill, but I will stick with the 40 Car.

These picks will leave enough salary cap room for Brad Keselowski as the fifth options. Initially, I was gearing to pick Tony Stewart here until I realized I had enough cap room for Keselowski. I was surprised that Keselowski has a lower than expected average running position of 12.3. He only has run in the top 15 for 69% of his laps. Both of these numbers are respectable and reveal his consistency. These numbers surprised me because Keselowski’s average finish position since 2005 is the second-best in the series with 6.5. Keselowski has a ticket punched for the chase. He could coast the last five races, but has a competitive streak. Keselowski will take risks to win this week at Watkins Glen.

FANTASY NASCAR LIVE SALARY CAP

Fantasy Live on Nascar.com combines fast laps, laps led, final position, and start-to-finish position differential. In order to prevent us from simply picking the top drivers every week, Fantasy Live utilizes a salary cap format. The goal is to find value in your picks.

The formula in this article basically calculates the total number of points accumulated in their scoring system and divides this number by their salary cap figure. We can then determine how many points to expect per fantasy dollar. Since I left him out of my lineup, we will look at Tony Stewart’s Watkins Glen Statistics as an example.

TONY STEWART AT WATKINS GLEN

  • Total laps led last five years: 34 = 3.4 Fantasy Live points per race
  • Fast laps: Cannot be calculated with 100% accuracy
  • Finish position: 13th place average = 31 Fantasy Live points per race
  • Start to finish differential: Minus 6 = Negative 6 Fantasy Live points per race
  • Average number of points per race: 28.40
  • Salary Cap figure on Fantasy Live: $22.75
  • Points per dollar: 28.4 / 22.75 = 1.25 fantasy points per dollar

Please review the fantasy points per dollar figures below for Watkins Glen with this week’s picks in bold. For rookies with no history at the track, we will use their 2014 averages to give you an idea what to expect from them.

NASCAR Fantasy Live Picks, 2014 Pocono, GoBowling.com 400

With Jeff Gordon earning his fifth Brickyard victory, NASCAR returns to Pocono for a second installment. Pocono is a challenging track for teams to prepare. With three unique turns, one setup cannot be 100% effective for every turn. The end result is that some drivers have mastered the challenges of the Pennsylvania track, making this week more predictable than the average track.

One of the resources available on www.fantasyracingcheatsheet.com is a statistical engine that analyzes a driver’s performance on a lap-to-lap basis. Using the final position only tells part of the story. If a driver is dominating a track and experiences bad luck at the end of the race, using final position only for your analysis will prove to be incomplete. In order to provide you with the best analysis, I am going to utilize the resources available on this site like loop data to provide you with more information to help you make informed decisions about your lineups.

My first pick for this week illustrates the value of using this data point. During the last three August races at Pocono, Denny Hamlin averages a 29th place finish. Upon further investigation, Hamlin has led the second-most laps over the last five August races with 178. He was the fastest driver for 121 of the laps during this time span, the most of any driver. Hamlin has the best starting position, runs in the top 15 drivers for 78% of his laps, and has the best loop data score. The risk in picking Hamlin is his bad luck at the track, and his upside is worth the risk because he is valued below the top drivers.

The second fantasy live pick has led the most laps over the last five August races. Jimmie Johnson has an eighth place average finish at the track and is second in fastest laps to Hamlin since 2009. With a series-best average running position of 9.8 and 79% of laps in the top 15, Johnson has a high likelihood of success.

Because of some cost-effective choices for the fourth and fifth slots this week, I had enough salary cap money to choose Jeff Gordon as the third driver. Gordon has the best average finish position of any driver. He also has the most fantasy live points since 2009 and is coming off a win last week. Gordon runs in the top 15 drivers for 76% of his laps, tied for third in the series with Ryan Newman.

After these three picks, there was little salary cap room available for the last two spots. Lower cost drivers may not have impressive finishes, but are cost-effective and often score more points per fantasy dollar than the top competitors. Michael Annett finished 20th in June and his loop data score is closer to a $15 driver than his price tag. Annett could provide value this week. While his loop data scores are low, Landon Cassill averages a 30th place finish at the track and should net you two points per fantasy dollar, which is great value.

FANTASY NASCAR LIVE SALARY CAP

In order to determine the best starters at Pocono, we look at historical data over the last five years. Fantasy Live on nascar.com combines fast laps, laps led, start-to-finish differential, and final position. We look at the last five years at the track and see how many fantasy live points each driver has accumulated per race. Then, we divide that number by the salary cap figure. The end result is that we are able to figure out how many fantasy points to expect from each fantasy dollar.

Kurt Busch is a possibility for your lineup this week, and missed the cut for my roster. We will use his Pocono statistics to illustrate how this formula works.

KURT BUSCH AT POCONO

  • Fast laps: Cannot be calculated with 100% accuracy
  • Laps led last five years: 64 = 6.4 points per race
  • Average finish position last five years: 15th place = 29 points
  • Start-to-finish differential: (-9) = negative 9 points
  • Total Fantasy Live Points per Race: 26.4
  • Nascar.com Fantasy Live Salary Cap Figure: $23.50
  • Points per dollar: 26.4/ $ 23.50 = 1.12 fantasy points per dollar

For rookies who have not run the August Pocono race we will use their 2014 statistics to determine their value. Please note Kyle Larson finished fifth in the June race. Review the fantasy points per dollar amounts below with this week’s picks in bold.

GROUP A ($25.00 or higher)

  • Jeff Gordon 2.05

  • Jimmie Johnson 1.84
  • Kasey Kahne 1.67
  • Clint Bowyer 1.59
  • Kevin Harvick 1.31

NASCAR Fantasy Live Picks, 2014 Indianapolis, Crown Royal 400

After a week away from fantasy racing, we return to Indianapolis this weekend. There are only a handful of races remaining until the Chase begins, and the pressure is growing for teams who have not yet won a race in 2014. For our fantasy racing leagues, the next few weeks will make or break our runs for our league championship. Indianapolis has helped some of the top drivers, but there has not been a dominant driver from year-to-year here. This translates to an opportunity to gain or lose fantasy points this week.

My Fantasy NASCAR strategy for salary cap racing is to pick my three favorite drivers for the race, and then choose the best drivers with the remaining salary cap money. I choose this strategy because fantasy live on nascar.com rewards more points for laps led and fast laps. Because of the scoring system, choosing five average drivers will not be the path to victory. Once we apply the points per dollar formula, the results will show the best picks are the top drivers and the bottom feeders.

The next step is to determine the drivers with the highest likelihood for success at the track. One of the statistics to review is the total number of laps led. I look at total laps led at a given track over a five-year time span along with the total number of races that the driver has led a lap. I am more impressed with Brad Keselowski leading a total of 44 laps in three different Indianapolis races than Ryan Newman leading 45 laps in only one race because Keselowski shows he can run near the top on a year-to-year basis. When we combine this data with the average final position, we will get a clear idea who is the most likely to succeed in a given week. Beyond historical data, taking into account this year’s performance as a whole by each driver is an important factor to consider.

The driver with the best statistical probability for success this week is Jimmie Johnson. Johnson has led the second-most laps of any driver in Indianapolis over the last five years with 198. He is also the only driver to lead a lap in each of the last five races. All statistics were showing Johnson as a favorite in New Hampshire, but a cut tire became a death sentence to all who started him.

The second driver on my team is Tony Stewart. Stewart has the best average finish position over the last ten years. Although he has only lead twelve laps over the last five years, Stewart also has the highest fantasy points per dollar from the top drivers over the same time span. After some deliberation, Jeff Gordon is the narrow choice for the third spot over Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, and Greg Biffle. Gordon has an eighth place average over a ten-year span and is tied for third-most saps led since 2009 with 48 laps. Biffle has historically been successful in Indianapolis, but his team has been average for most of 2014. Harvick and Keselowski could easily win, but I simply felt more comfortable picking Gordon.

Juan Pablo Montoya has led the most laps of any Indianapolis driver over the last five years. His average finish is only 20th place, but is worth a pick due to a low price tag of $10.25. The last pick was a toss-up between Landon Cassill and Reed Sorenson. Ultimately, I picked Cassill because he has led a lap in three of the last five years. He only has four total laps led so temper your expectations for a top finish. If he can match his 29th place average finish, he will be a valuable selection.

FANTASY NASCAR LIVE SALARY CAP

Fantasy Live on nascar.com combines the laps led, fast laps, final position, and start-to-finish differential in their scoring system. With a salary cap, the format limits the quality of drivers you can choose for your team. The formula used in this article basically tallies the average points accumulated over the last five years for each driver and divides that figure by their salary cap number. The end result is a number that will provide us with an idea how many points to expect from each salary cap dollar.

For further clarification, please review the details for Jamie McMurray below at Indianapolis:

JAMIE MCMURRAY AT INDIANAPOLIS

  • Average final position last five years: 12th place = 32 points
  • Start-to-finish differential: Plus 3 = 3 points
  • Total laps led: 21 = 2.1 fantasy points per week
  • Fast laps: Cannot be calculated with 100% accuracy
  • Total Points per race; 37.1
  • Nascar.com salary cap figure: $22.75
  • Fantasy Points per dollar 37.1/22.75 = 1.63 points per fantasy dollar

For rookies without a history at the track, we will use their 2014 numbers for all races so we have an idea what to expect from them. See this week’s fantasy points per dollar below for each driver with this weeks picks in bold:

NASCAR Fantasy Live Picks, 2014 New Hampshire, Camping World RV Sales 301

As a Fantasy NASCAR analyst, I am glad to be finished with a restrictor plate track and back to a more predictable track in Loudon. Hats off to you if you benefited from selecting Aric Almirola, Brian Vickers, and Casey Mears. For the rest of us, we saw our weekly lineup decimated by the two major incidents. New Hampshire provides us the opportunity to lick our wounds from Florida and start the second half of the NASCAR season on a positive note.

My preferred strategy for Nascar.com Fantasy Live is to pick my three favorite drivers, then find the best value with the remaining salary cap money. The driver with the most Fantasy Live points at New Hampshire since 2008 is Jimmie Johnson. Johnson’s value has dipped slightly after his Daytona wreck. Johnson is consistent at the track, averaging an eighth place finish over the last ten years. He has led laps in four of the last five summer races. Only an unexpected circumstance will keep the 48 team from running near the top this weekend.

Tony Stewart has led the most laps of any driver over the past five years in Loudon. Stewart was also involved in the Lap 21 wreck last week and should provide better value in New Hampshire as a result. Stewart has averaged a top ten finish and is the only driver to lead at least one lap in each of the last five summer races. Needing a win to make the chase, Stewart will drive aggressively for the next few weeks.

I was torn between Jeff Gordon, Denny Hamlin, and Kurt Busch for the third spot. Kurt Busch has led the second-most laps since 2008, but has finished inconsistently over the last few years. I love Jeff Gordon’s consistency, but he has a higher price tag than Denny Hamlin. Hamlin has averaged a ninth-place finish over the last ten years. Hamlin was dominant in 2012, leading 193 laps on his way to victory. Hamlin should outperform his salary cap figure this week.

Deciding between the last two drivers is challenging because there was more cap room available than expected. Reed Sorenson has averaged a 21st place finish in two summer starts in Loudon. With only a $7 salary cap tag, his bargain value was too high to ignore. With $19.75 remaining, there are more options for the fifth spot than expected. Jeff Burton is racing this week for Michael Waltrip racing. With a 17th place average over the last five years, Burton should help your team with a modest cost of $15.25. My original choice was Burton, but had enough salary cap room for AJ Allmendinger. Allmendinger has averaged a 19th place finish since 2008 so he should be a valuable fifth starter for my team.

Our salary cap value formula basically determines average total number of fantasy live points over the past five summer New Hampshire races and divides that total by the salary cap figure provided by fantasy live on nascar.com. We can then determine how many points to expect from each fantasy dollar.

FANTASY NASCAR LIVE SALARY CAP

The Fantasy Live scoring system is a combination of laps led, fast laps, finish position, and start-to-finish differential.

For additional clarification on our formula, please review Kasey Kahne’s details below:

KASEY KAHNE AT NEW HAMPSHIRE

  • Total laps led at the last five summer New Hampshire races: 116 (23.2 per race = 11.2 points)
  • Fast laps: cannot be calculated with 100% accuracy
  • Final position: 12th place average = 32 points
  • Start to finish differential: Negative Six = (-6 points)
  • Total points per race: 37.6
  • Fantasy Live Salary Cap Figure: $25
  • Points ranking: 37.6 points/$25 = 1.50 points per fantasy dollar

NASCAR Fantasy Live Picks, 2014 Daytona, Coke Zero 400

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at Daytona

After a Kentucky race that made you ecstatic if you started Brad Keselowski, we travel south for the holiday weekend to Daytona. Daytona is one of the most exciting tracks of the season and will make you want to tear your hair out in Fantasy NASCAR. With restrictor plates, big crashes, and unpredictable results, the end result is that choosing a successful lineup has more to do with luck than skill. The good news is that there are plenty of low cost options with the ability to finish in the top twenty. This week provides a great opportunity to gain or lose on your opponents.

The driver with the most fantasy live points over the course of the last five summer races is Tony Stewart. Stewart started the 2014 season slowly, but has improved as the summer races began. Stewart has led the most laps of any driver since 2008. He also averages an eighth place finish in the same period of time. Stewart has a high probability to run near the top this week.

After Stewart, there are six drivers who have averaged a thirteenth place finish or better over the last five years. Who you choose from this pack of driver should be determined by your personal preference because little separates these drivers statistically. The drivers in this second group include Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne, Matt Kenseth, Kurt Busch, Ricky Stenhouse, and Brian Vickers.

Using the process of elimination, we can trim down this second group of drivers. Kasey Kahne and Brian Vickers have not led a lap in five years, and I cannot recommend drivers who have led fewer laps than Joe Nemecheck at Daytona. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finished in 11th place last year, and I cannot recommend him because of the small sample at the track.

Because of the salary cap restrictions, we can only choose two of the three remaining drivers for our roster. Matt Kenseth has led 107 laps over the last five races, second only to Stewart. He has also led a lap in four of the five races showing consistency. With a 12th place average since 2003, Kenseth proves to be a solid option.

There is little to separate Harvick from Kurt Busch. Harvick has led a few more laps and has won two races in 2014, but I would recommend Kurt Busch over Harvick due to Kurt Busch’s lower salary cap figure. Kurt Busch has the second-best average of any driver over the past ten summer races at Daytona.

With a 14th place finish last year at Daytona and a history of providing value on restrictor plate tracks, Danica Patrick is my fourth choice for this week’s roster. Patrick has shown improvement over the course of 2014, and she will be worth picking if she continues the trend. With only $10.75 remaining for the fifth driver, the last pick goes to David Ragan, who is an overachiever at Daytona and Talladega. Ragan has averaged a 20th place finish over the last five summer races, and I am glad there was enough salary cap money left over for Ragan. I like Michael Waltrip and the Labontes as fantasy live options this week and could be used depending on how you manage this week’s lineup.

Our salary cap value formula basically determines average total number of fantasy live points over the past five summer Daytona races and divides that total by the salary cap figure provided by fantasy live on nascar.com. We can then determine how many points to expect from each fantasy dollar.

FANTASY NASCAR LIVE SALARY CAP

The Fantasy Live scoring system is a combination of laps led, fast laps, finish position, and start-to-finish differential.

For additional clarification on our formula, please review Kevin Harvick’s details below.

KEVIN HARVICK AT DAYTONA

  • Total laps led at the last five summer Daytona races: 44 (8.80 per race = 4.40 points)
  • Fast laps: cannot be calculated with 100% accuracy
  • Final position: 12th place average = 32 points
  • Start to finish differential: Plus seven = 7 points
  • Total points per race: 43.40
  • Fantasy Live Salary Cap Figure: $27.25
  • Points ranking: 43.4/$23.75= 1.59 points per fantasy dollar

For rookies with no history at the track, we will use the data from the 2014 to help you know how many points to expect from each fantasy dollar. You will notice that there is more value picks than average. This week’s picks are in bold along with the fantasy points-per-dollar for all drivers.
