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 my final active roster in our Fantasy NASCAR Forum. Also, be sure to check out our Yahoo Driver Rankings before you select your roster.

Forum member and FNP contributor KWiseman33 is now writing a "Practice Round-Up" for FantasyNascarPreview that is posted on our NASCAR Blog shortly after final practice is completed each week.
With one race to go, here are my current stats on the season:
Team Name: FantasyNascarPreview.Com
Total Points: 10215
Fall Rank: 16th
Full Season Rank: 89th
Percentile: 99th
A List:
I am out of starts with: Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson
Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin
This week, it's these two drivers, then everyone else. Even if I had a start left with Jimmie Johnson, he would not be on my roster because I expect him to ride around, stay out of trouble and finish 15th to win the Championship. Besides Johnson, Mark Martin and Jeff Gordon have been the best two A-Listers at the 1.5 mile racetracks this season, so for the final race of the season, it's once again an All-Hendrick A-List.
B List:
I am out of starts with: Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin, Kurt Busch
Juan Pablo Montoya and Kasey Kahne
I have no starts left with Stewart, Hamlin and Busch, so Montoya and Kahne are almost locks for the race Sunday. Montoya is going to be better than anyone else that I have on the bench and Kahne has been awesome at the 1.5 milers this season.
3. Ryan Newman
Newman has not been great at the 1.5 mile racetracks this season, but with only one race to go, he's all I have left. I'm very confident with Montoya and Kahne, so Newman might steal some qualifying points and is capable of a Top 15 finish.
4. Brian Vickers
Vickers was an awesome qualifier earlier in the season and ran very well at these types of racetracks. I don't see Vickers in my starting lineup Sunday, but this team can be fast at Homstead.
C-List:
1. Marcos Ambrose
Ambrose has been the best full-time C-List driver all season, so he's a lock this week.
2. A.J. Allmendinger
Allmendinger finished 10th at Texas (a 1.5 mile racetrack) a couple of weeks ago and is a solid backup to Ambrose in the C-List.
