Early Week Driver Rankings for Texas
The MENCS will travel back to Texas Motor Speedway this week. The series has not competed at the track since March but we did have to races in the playoffs on the 1.5-mile tracks. The drivers who ran well at Las Vegas and Kansas should be fast this week. It will be fun to see […]

Updated Fantasy Live Picks for Martinsville
The NASCAR inspection is going well. As of the posting of this article, the top 17 drivers all passed inspection. I did have a night to sleep and think about the Fantasy NASCAR picks I posted Saturday. I still like the DFS picks but I feel like I need to make a change to the […]

DFS Sunday Night Football Showdown Picks Week 8
Oh what could have been… NBC almost struck gold with an Aaron Rodgers vs. Patrick Mahomes match up on prime time TV. The league MVP will sit out this game so now we get to see Rodgers do his Discount Double-Check vs. Matt Moore. It should still be a good game since it is in Aarowhead (The Packers have […]

Each week I post my Driver Rankings for the race. This is not necessarily my prediction of how each driver will finish the race, but each driver’s fantasy value in the race. I use the past stats, practice speeds, starting position, information from the garage and momentum to determine who has the best cars for […]

Fantasy Live Pole Pick for Martinsville
Fantasy Live allows each team to try and predict the driver who will win the pole each week. You do not have to make a pick, but if you do and you are correct; your fantasy team will earn 5 bonus points. These points can add up and be the difference in a few positions […]

MENCS: Garage Talk Notes for Martinsville
The MENCS heads back to the Heartland this week for a “last chance” race at Kansas Speedway. This is the last race of the Round of 12 so we should expect the racing to heat up as the drivers compete for the eight spots in the next round of the MENCS playoffs. This track is […]
