Driver Rankings for Watkins Glen

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.

NASCAR screwed up Fantasy NASCAR last week by inspecting the cars after qualifying and sending 13 cars to the back of the field. They plan to do it again this week but this time they will inspect the cars Sunday morning, instead of Saturday night. The inspection process took 4 hours last week. The cars should make at least one pass through inspection by about 10:30 AM ET. I should be able to put together the starting lineup once each car goes through inspection once.

I am not going to change my Driver Rankings based on drivers failing inspection. Last week we saw Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick quickly make their way to the front. If the good drivers start in the back this week, they should make it to the front by the end of the race.

Here are my rankings for Watkins Glen

Good luck this week!
