Practice Breakdown, Dover II

Saturday, September 25th, 2010

A list ranks- 48, 16, 99, 18, 11, 24, 14, 2, 42, 5.

Really flirted with ranking Biffle 1st as Roush was all really good in practice with Kenseth leading the charge.

Number 1 pit stall is worth a few positions and that’s why Jimmie is ranked ahead of Biffle and Carl.

Kyle was pretty good but seems to be lacking a little speed on long runs to me.  But he’s very good here and a win wouldn’t suprise me. Hamlin was also pretty fast in Happy Hour. I wouldn’t consider anybody else.

B list ranks- 17, 31, 00, 1, 20, 33, 29, 9, 56, 39, 12

Really like Kenseth and Burton they are head and shoulders the class of the B list. Reutimann, McMurray and Logano are all fast and represent sleeper options this week.

I’d probably save the other RCR boys for other places. Not bad but start way back.

Hard to tell exactly what Truex and Newman have.

Kahne was pretty sporty in happy hour but a huge gamble.

C list ranks- 43, 98, 83, 78, 77

If i had AJ and Menard and only 1 AJ spot i’d go Menard. If i had 2 starts with AJ i’d go AJ.

Sorenson wasn’t bad at all in my opinion.

Race winner Matt Kenseth with Burton, Jimmie, Biffle and Carl rounding out top 5 with Kyle just missing.  Probably should pick 48 but that’s no fun.

Yahoo team looking like 48, 17, 00, 98 over 18, 39, 56, 78.

Paythefan Chase league 17, 00, 20, 83

Paythefan season 16, 99, 18, 17, 83, 82. I’m out of 31, 00, 43, 98 to name a few. I also like 48 in A list, 1 in B or 56.

ESPN league 48, 17, 99, 00, 1

Tough ranking this week. Lot of cars running similiar speeds, track position and getting in and out of pit stalls is huge here.

Good FNPers!!!

Practice Breakdown, New Hampshire II

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

Ok so maybe i was at work all day and didn’t get to watch practice. I did however watch lap times and of course track position is big here. In saying that here’s the rankings;

A list ranks- 14, 48, 11, 24, 2, 18, 42, 99, 16, 5. 48 vs. 11 is really close. Stewart has been happy and fast all weekend. He’s still my pick to win but Jimmie and Denny are right there as well.

B list ranks- 33, 31, 1, 00, 29, 9, 56, 39, 17, 12, 20, 6, 47, 88. Jr will be a lap down unless there is a quick caution. His lap times weren’t bad but can’t pass.

Bowyer and Burton could be potential winners. Like JMac and Reuty as sleepers along with Truex Jr. I’d save Harvick and Kenseth. Harvick is a top 10 car but i’ll save my last 2 allocations.

C list ranks- 43, 77, 98, 78, 83, 82, 7, 13.

AJ has been happy which is extremely rare. Said Mike Shiplett has a great setup for this track.

If you have to start Hornish sometime this is the time. He’s been pretty sporty. Now i’m not going to sit here and guarantee he won’t take out a wall or two but it’s now or never gang.

Race winner Tony Stewart

B list sleepers 00, 1, 56

Yahoo team 48, 33, 31, 77 for now over 11, 29, 39, 83

Paythefan 14, 2, 1, 43, 6, 12.   33, 00, 77 also good picks

Chase league i have 33, 1, 43, 19

ESPN 14, 48, 33, 42, 1. Yeah that’s right Clint over Denny

I think that covers it.

Good luck FNPers!!! Let’s go Chase Racing!

Practice Breakdown, Atlanta II

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

Pre qualifying ranks are as such.

A- 11, 99, 16, 14, 18, 24, 42, 48, 2, 5.

Not impressed with Jimmie this week.

Denny and Carl are the class of the A list and are potential race winners.

16, 14, 18 all really good and top 10 cars. Gordon struggled a bit and i’m not sure what he has like usual.

Montoya is really good here but is a big risk as he finds trouble a lot.

B list ranks- 9, 33, 39, 17, 29, 31, 00, 56, 1, 20

RCR not as strong this week it appears. Harvick and Burton both were not happy with their cars, probably a good week to lay off of Harvick and Burton.

Kahne is very fast and a lock for me. He’s a potential winner.

Kenseth not bad but nothing stellar which is Matt in a nutshell.

Michael Waltrip Racing nothing stellar but i bet these boys are good on long runs.

C list ranks- 98, 43, 78, 77

Menard and AJ class of the C list. Menard has been strong all weekend long and I would probably save sit AJ if you have Menard unless you have 4 or more stars left with the Dinger.

Regan Smith not bad at all and looks like a good long run car.

Nothing else to see here folks. Red Bull is a joke.

Yahoo team i’m leaning 99, 9, 33, 98. over 24, 17, 00, 78. Kenseth is the only one nudging me and Gordon a tad but Carl is looking good minus his vibration and transmission change in 1st practice.

Paythefan i like 99, 39 in A, 17, 00, 18, 56 in B. 43 shouldn’t be bad either. C list i like 21, 78, 98, 12, 6. I rank them 98, 78, 12, 6, 21 but you have to use Elliot here due to this being his second to last race of the year. By the way i’m 210th in this league and haven’t abused starts too badly and only have 1 Vickers starts left. Our league is doing very well by the way and a few should see some money this year. Hope i helped.

ESPN game i like 99, 11, 9, 29, 31.

Race winner i’m going Denny Hamlin but Carl and Kasey will have something to say.

Good luck FNPers!!! Have a safe Labor Day weekend
