Fantasy NASCAR is a game of momentum. While it is important to look at which drivers run well at each track, it is also important to see which drivers are finishing up front in the last 4-5 races.
This week I will be posting the driver standings for Fantasy Live for the past five races. I usually like to look at the past four races to determine a driver’s momentum, but Phoenix is a similar track to the race the week at Richmond, so I included the past five races.
I plan to keep this updated as much as possible this season.
Here are the Fantasy Live points for each driver in the past five races…
