“We want the best for him”.
Sprint Cup drivers and teams have gone all out to dress up for the Southern 500 on Sunday night, pulling out beloved paint schemes to honor stock vehicle racing’s colorful, vibrant past.
Workers walk along the grandstands in the rain at Darlington Raceway, Friday, Sept. 2, 2016, in Darlington, S.C. Bad weather forced NASCAR to call off qualifying for the Sprint Cup and XFinity series auto races.
There has been a direct correlation between starting up front and winning at Darlington.
“I’ve been wanting to win here for a long time”, Sadler crowed after. In seven career starts he has managed just one Top 5 and three Top 10s while posting a very marginal 20.3 AFP.
Gordons last victory in 2007 may have been the most memorable.
In four XFINITY Series races, Buescher has an average finish of 17.0, with his best result of fifth coming in last year’s championship season. Before then, only the old Daytona beach-road course, which yielded to the nearby superspeedway in 1959, had any pavement on it.
With that in mind, here is a closer look at the top drivers to target for DFS NASCAR now that the field is set in stone.
Two years ago, in his first season with Stewart-Haas Racing, Harvick scored a dominating victory at Darlington, leading 238 of 367 laps. 40 years ago, Pearson and Richard Petty crashed as they were racing to the finish line in the Daytona 500 and Pearson won by a few yards as Petty’s vehicle stalled right before the finish line. “Now we get to go to Darlington (in position to make the Chase), and I’m excited for that”. More importantly, he has delivered several dominant performances. That’s the most of any driver this season after Kurt Busch’s impressive streak of finishing on the lead lap in 22 straight races came to an end at Bristol.
Everyone is involved in the fun including pit crews, track officials, and what would a throwback race be without Greg Brady (Barry Williams) singing the National Anthem?
So if you’ve got some Yahoo! starts saved up in your league or if you’re able to change race-to-race, the No. 42 vehicle should be right at the top of the list for the foreseeable future. He is also the defending champion and won the only other Xfinity Series race he competed in. Larson could be a real X-factor in GPPs. With the field being set by points, the rookie has to start 20th, giving him plenty of potential in the place differential category.
Emotions will run high when you and your tot have to part ways on that first day of preschool. But.
Darlington brought back the “throwback” concept after it worked out successfully in 2015. He probably isn’t going to put you over the top in a GPP, but he should finish with 25-30 fantasy and won’t break the bank. At Darlington, he’s had four wins and three seconds in the past seven races. Target Almirola as a safe, low-cost option in cash games.

Casey Mears: His last nine races have added up to an average finish of 28.8, with the best being 17th in 2006. Hell start 13th on Sunday and believes he can enhance his position.
