After starting the Chase with a pair of victories, a bad car at Dover and bad pit strategy at Kansas had his title hopes suddenly on the rocks. However, he could revive his hopes this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Stewart will start on the pole at the 1.5-mile track for the first time in his career Saturday night, and the former Charlotte winner is always dangerous when he qualifies near the front of the field.

Of course, the same can be said about Matt Kenseth. He will join Stewart on the front row Saturday, and a strong qualifying run normally marks Kenseth as a threat to win. The fact that he led the most laps at Charlotte earlier this year only increases her fantasy value further.

Fantasy owners can't forget about five-time champ Jimmie Johnson either. He delivered a top-10 qualifying run, and more importantly, he is a six-time winner at Charlotte. He has led the most laps in the last two races of the Chase, and he has finished first and third in his last two fall starts at Charlotte. No driver is better this time of the year than Johnson.
