Fantasy NASCAR Podcast - Texas 11-3-13

Last week, fantasy NASCAR and the Chase were lifted off life support. After weeks of boring 1.5 mile tracks and a dud at Talladega, Martinsville revitalized the season. Short tracks provide the necessary blend of crashes and quality driving to satisfy most race fans.

This week fantasy NASCAR returns to a cookie cutter track. Texas Motor Speedway is a fast 1.5 mile track. Earlier this season, the Gen-6 car set track records in qualifying. NASCAR drivers will be hitting speeds of 210 mph on back straight stretch. Speed is the only thing that will save this week’s fantasy NASCAR race. The late summer intermediate track races have been dull. Their early position in the Chase has more than likely been the cause of tepid driving. The hope is that drivers will cut loose this week. Most drivers are out of the Chase and are in “go big or go bust” mode. The drivers still alive must go all in.

Greg Biffle is the top Fantasy NASCAR pick because of his price and consistency at Texas. In The Bif’s last 10 races at Texas, he has 10 top tens. Seven of those races were top fives. His average finish of 5.5 over the last 10 is one of best for any driver at any track.

Sleepers

Texas is an intermediate track. It is not kind to true fantasy NASCAR sleeper picks. Small teams struggle at the cookie cutter 1.5 mile tracks. That's not good in fantasy NASCAR. In Yahoo! Auto Racing leagues you can survive, but in fantasy NASCAR leagues that feature salary caps, you need bargains.

Elliott Sadler has a ton of experience at Texas. He has raced well at Texas in the Nationwide Series (8 top Top 15s). He has also raced well at the Sprint Cup level at Texas. He has a very low salary at NASCAR.com and should turn in a top 20 perfromance in a MWR car.

Austin Dillon is back in a Sprint car. Although he did not have a good run at the Texas Sprint Cup race earlier this year, that was a lifetime ago. Dillon has matured a lot, and has a good Nationwide Series record at Texas (5th, 6th, 3rd place finish in 3 races).
