Fantasy NASCAR rankings: Kobalt Tools 500

March 5, 2010 @ 03:00:00

Jimmie Johnson is off to a hot start, but can he make it three in a row this weekend in Atlanta? Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart have been strong at the track, too, so Johnson probably won't coast to a victory if he indeed wins.
