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 my rankings as if we were going to have a fantasy draft to select drivers after all of the practices and qualifying are completed.
I used the driver’s average finishing position and driver ratings in the last 4 races at Chicago, drivers average running position at the 1.5-mile tracks in 2017, all practice times, 10-lap averages in practices and qualifying position to determine my picks this week.
