All-Star Challenge Preview

Fantasy Follow-Up: Darlington

Well, overall I wasn’t too far off. Greg Biffle dropping his transmission late in the race most certainly didn’t help my causes, nor did a last minute change Friday morning, in which I swapped out Ryan Newman and Kyle Busch as my race winners. I was hoping that Newman could get his laps back there […]

Fantasy Followup: Richmond

Hmm. Well, I’m still dealing with some mixed emotions regarding my fantasy picks for Richmond. On one hand, with twenty laps left in the race, Denny Hamlin looked dead set on making me look like a genius and giving me my fourth correctly predicted race winner of the young season … and, then he had […]

Fantasy Preview: Richmond

This week, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to Richmond International Raceway for their tenth points race of the season. Richmond is unique in that it seems to be one of the few tracks that hasn’t necessarily been branded by any particular one race team or manufacturer. The last ten Cup races at Richmond have […]

Fantasy Follow-Up: Talladega

Ugh. I felt good about most of my picks right up until about the time of the first multi-car accident of the day with 15 laps left – which eliminated my predicted race winner. Oh well, Talladega is admittedly my worst track for forecasting, so what can ya do, right?
TZ’s Picks (Talladega):
1. Tony Stewart – […]

Fantasy Preview: Talladega

Well, if you’re the type of fan that enjoys a race where it truly is anyone’s ballgame, than historically speaking, this weekend’s trip to Talladega should be right up your ally. While it’s true that there are – as is the case at any track – those certain drivers that normally run better than others, […]

Fantasy Follow-Up: Phoenix

It was looking pretty good for me there at the end with five of my six drivers all inside the top-15, but alas, Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick not getting their cars refired quickly enough after their final pit stops did me in. At least I can hang my hat knowing that I’ve now correctly […]
