These driver selections represent my roster before Yahoo’s qualifying deadline. Active and inactive drivers should be selected after qualifying and all practices take place. I will post any changes, as well as my final active roster in our Fantasy NASCAR Forum. Also, be sure to check out our Yahoo Driver Rankings before selecting your final qualifying roster.

A List

1. Mark Martin (8 starts remaining)

Martin finished 5^th at Atlanta in September, and more importantly, was the Chevy representative for the Goodyear Tire test here in January. As a result, that team has a head start on the field and I expect them to unload very fast Friday.

2. Jeff Gordon (9)

Although Gordon has to be disappointed settling for a third place finish at Las Vegas Sunday, the 24 was once again fast at a 1.5 mile racetrack. Atlanta, like Vegas, is a 1.5 miler, so Gordon should pick up right where he left off last weekend.

B List

1. Kevin Harvick (8)

Harvick had an average finish of 3.0 at Atlanta last year and is coming off back-to-back second place finishes. L-O-C-K.

2. Kasey Kahne (7)

Kahne posted an average finish of 4.0 last season at Atlanta, including a victory in the Fall.  

3. Matt Kenseth (9)

Kenseth finished 12^th in both Atlanta races last season, and while that isn’t spectacular, the 17 car is coming off finishes of 7^th and 5^th in the previous two races, proving they can contend for Top 5’s.
