- Fantasy NASCAR Rankings: Bojangles' Southern 500 (05/10)
 | Darlington Raceway should present a return to normalcy after Talladega weekend for fantasy owners. Denny Hamlin is returning for his first full race after suffering a serious back injury. Can he realistically challenge for a win? |
- Fantasy NASCAR Practice Recap: Bojangles' Southern 500 (05/10)
 | As far as sleeper options are concerned, Juan Pablo Montoya could be the cream of the crop. After ranking eighth on the charts in the first practice, he topped the leaderboard in Happy Hour. Granted, he has finished 20th or worse in five of his six starts at Darlington, but the lone exception was a fifth-place run in 2010. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Rankings: Aaron's 499 (05/04)
 | If you though the green-white-checkered finish at Richmond last weekend was wild, just wait until the final laps at Talladega this weekend. NASCAR's biggest track will play host to the second superspeedway race of 2013, and whenever restrictor plates get involved, massive, multi-car wrecks are sure to follow. The term "Big One" is often used at Talladega, but the nickname is a little misleading because it implies that only one big wreck is going to happen. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Practice Recap: Aaron's 499 (05/04)
 | Thanks to the power-robbing restrictor plates that keep the field packed together, practice speeds at Talladega Superspeedway aren't always a great predictor of which drivers will be up front on Sunday. However, it might not be irrelevant that Brad Keselowski was solid on the time sheets during a pair of practices Friday during which he actually topped the charts in Happy Hour. After all, Keselowski is the defending winner of Sunday's race and a two-time winner at Talladega. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Rankings: Toyota Owners 400 (04/27)
 | After back-to-back races at 1.5-mile tracks, short track action makes its return to the Cup Series this weekend with Saturday night's Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway. After last weekend's race at Kansas Speedway, it's hard to imagine that any driver is happier with the change of scenery than Kyle Busch. |

 | Check out the final practice results to see how they will impact your favorite driver. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Rankings: STP 400 (04/20)
 | One week after dealing with the high speeds of Texas Motor Speedway, the Cup Series will head right back to another 1.5-mile track. Kansas Speedway will play host to this Sunday's STP 400, and while the track isn't quite as fast as Texas, it has been known to produce some exciting finishes and some strange ones. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Practice Recap: STP 400 (04/20)
 | Aric Almirola has never won a race and has only had two of three legitimate chances to do so. Will Kansas take him from sleeper to victor? Martin Truex Jr. ain't a bad bet, either. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Rankings: NRA 500 (04/13)
 | One driver that has handled the high speeds of Texas Motor Speedway just fine in recent years is Matt Kenseth. In the last 10 races at the track, he leads all drivers with a 6.2 average finish. During the stretch, he has finished in the top 10 nine times and has finished in the top five in his last five starts at the track. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Practice Recap: NRA 500 (04/13)
 | With both practice sessions at Texas Motor Speedway being held before qualifying, the results become a bit jumbled up because different teams run qualifying trim and race trim for varying amounts of time depending on the practice. The different strategies can lead to some vastly different rankings for certain drivers between the two practices. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Rankings: STP Gas Boost 500 (04/06)
 | When the Cup Series heads to Martinsville Speedway this weekend, one of the best in the business at handling the flat corners of the half-mile, paperclip-shaped track won't be in the field. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Practice Recap: STP Gas Booster 500 (04/06)
 | Of course, any driver that wants to win Sunday will likely have to deal with Jimmie Johnson. The seven-time track winner didn't disappoint Saturday during the practices. After posting the 11th-fastest lap and fifth-best average speed in the opening session, he surged to second on the charts in both categories during Happy Hour. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Rankings: Auto Club 400 (03/23)
 | If you were unlucky enough to have a few of the drivers affected by the rash of tire issues in your lineup at Bristol, you could certainly use a good showing this weekend when the Cup Series visits Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees that a bounce-back performance will be easy to come by. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Practice Recap: Auto Club 400 (03/23)
 | In Happy Hour, veteran Mark Martin surged to the top of the charts. He does have three finishes of sixth or better in his last five starts at ACS, but in his last two starts he has finished 12th and 20th. More importantly, Martin has made a habit of delivering fantastic practice times but only solid results recently. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Rankings: Food City 500 (03/16)
 | Engine issues have slowed Kyle Busch this season, but nothing seems to be slowing him down this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. He was already on the short list of favorites thanks to a series-leading five wins at the track since 2007, but after winning the pole Friday and shining in Saturday's practices, Busch surged to the top spot in the final set of driver rankings. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Practice Recap: Food City 500 (03/16)
 | A good weekend keeps getting better for Kyle Busch as he followed up his record-breaking pole run Friday by topping the charts in the opening practice session Saturday at Bristol. He already has five career victories at the track and owns a series-leading 8.4 average finish in the last 10 races. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Rankings: Kobalt Tools 400 (03/09)
 | The 2013 Sprint Cup season is only two races old, but a couple of quick observations can already be made as the series heads to Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend. For starters, Jimmie Johnson and Brad Keselowski still look to be the class of the field as both have opened the year with back-to-back top-five finishes. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Practice Recap: Kobalt Tools 400 (03/09)
 | With qualifying cancelled for Las Vegas, fantasy owners may want to put more emphasis on practice times this week. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Practice Recap: Subway Fresh Fit 500 (03/02)
 | When Mark Martin finally decides to call it quits as a driver, he may want to retire to Phoenix. After all, he has made the track his home over the course of his career to the tune of a 9.1 average finish in 32 starts. The veteran is back at it this weekend, and after Martin grabbed the pole Friday, he followed it up by topping the charts in the opening practice session Saturday. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Rankings: Subway Fresh Fit 500 (03/01)
 | One driver that has made himself at home at Phoenix recently is Denny Hamlin. The defending winner of this weekend's race ranks third in the series with a 10.3 average finish at the track. |
- Fantasy NASCAR Rankings: Daytona 500 (02/23)
 | The good news for fantasy NASCAR enthusiasts is that the 2013 season officially gets underway this Sunday with the 55th running of the Daytona 500. The bad news is that the Daytona 500 is one of the four toughest races of the year for fantasy owners thanks to the big, multi-car wrecks that inevitably occur as a result of the restrictor plates bunching up the field. |
- Fantasy NASCAR practice recap: Daytona 500 (02/23)
 | The practice schedule for the Daytona 500 is unlike any other race. Instead of two or three sessions the weekend of the race, there are seven separate sessions spread out over Speed weeks. As a result, nearly every team has a different agenda, practicing in certain sessions and sitting out others all together. |
- Fantasy NASCAR: preseason driver rankings (02/20)
