Updated Driver Rankings for Bristol

The Cup Series is ready to take their playoffs to Bristol Motor Speedway for the final race in the Round of 16. The night race at Bristol is always filled with chaos and I expect it to be even crazier with so much on the line for the 15 playoff drivers without a win in the bank. We are going to need a lot of luck in our Fantasy NASCAR lineups Saturday night because we all know at least a few drivers are going to be put into the wall as these maniacs race for a spot in the Round of 12.

The Cup Series teams had 45-minutes to dial in their cars for the Bass Pro Night Race. Bristol is a .533-mile, high-banked, concrete track. It only takes 15-seconds to make a lap around this bull-ring. Most of the drivers were able to make some long runs in practice. This is important because Goodyear brought the same tire to the track that was used in March. This tire wore out quickly and the drivers who were able to maintain their speed over the long runs were the drivers who finished up front. I expect the same Saturday night. We need to focus our picks on the drivers with long-run speed for the Bass Pro Shop Night Race.
