This week's race will take place on Saturday night underneath the lights as it always does on the Independence Day weekend(although this year it falls on a Tuesday). I love it as the race falls on Canada Day, which also happens to be my birthday and the start of my holidays. Note to self: enter lineups the night before. The Coke Zero 400 is the third of four restrictor plate races of the season which once again changes up the strategy. The correlation of starting position to finishing position is about as low as we will see throughout the year. Looking at the cheatsheet, I documented the last six summer races here at Daytona and no one year had a correlation higher than .375 and 2015 even showed a negative correlation. This combined with the fact there are only 160 laps and stage racing, brings the importance of dominator points down while giving a huge boost to place differential in my model. Before jumping into the aerly week pickslet's take a look at some of the trends from Daytona.   Last Six Winners(Summer 400-Mile Race) 2016 - Brad Keselowski (Started 5th, led 115 laps) 2015 - Dale Earnhardt Jr. (Started 1st, led 96 laps) 2014 - Aric Almirola (Started 15th, led 14 laps) 2013 - Jimmie Johnson(Started 8th, led 94 laps) 2012 - Tony Stewart (Started 42nd, led 22 laps) 2011 - David Ragan (Started 5th, led 15 laps)   Top 5 Current Track History at Daytona Since the start of the 2015 season, Joey Logano has a win at Daytona and comes in with three straight Top 6 finishes for a 7.8 average finish. Denny Hamlin 2016 Daytona 500 and has three Top...

They are both very unique setups and for a closer look at Infineon Raceway check out Parker Kligerman on the iRacing Simulator go over a lap here.   .@PKligerman takes to the iRacing Simulator to give you a lap around @RaceSonoma https://t.co/bV6ActeHqc — NASCAR on NBC (@NASCARonNBC) June 23, 2017 With just 110 laps in the race, it will really limit the dominator potential of a driver especially considering the new strategies in place with stage racing in 2017. More important this week will be finishing position and place differential. It is very tough to come from too far back and finish Top as we have only seen seven drivers who started outside of 20th finish Top 10 in the last six races but Top 15's are definitely in play for those drivers. Every point will matter this week. Let's dig in and take a look at some of the race trends and drivers who have succeeded here and on road courses in general. I will then go over a few of my top picks for the week and then post a YouTube video later on Saturday going over my top picks with all practice and qualifying info entered into the sheet.   Last Six Winners 2016 - Tony Stewart (Started 10th, led 22 laps) 2015 - Kyle Busch (Started 11th, led 17 laps) 2014 - Carl Edwards (Started 4th, led 26 laps) 2013 - Martin Truex Jr. (Started 14th, led 51 laps) 2012 - Clint Bowyer (Started 6th, led 71 laps) 2011 - Kurt Busch (Started 11th, led 76 laps)   Top 5 Track History at Sonoma (2 Year) Tony Stewart won the race here last year which ended up being his final win of his career. Looking at the active drivers over the last two years, Kyle Busch has the other win(2015) but there are six drivers who...

What a finish at the Daytona 500. Closest in history. If you missed it check out the recap below. The Joe Gibbs Racing team dominated the race at Daytona as Hamlin led 95 laps, Kenseth led 40 laps and Busch led 19 laps. They captured 1st, 3rd, and 5th and 14th(Kenseth was in 1st on final lap until Hamlin made his move). The favorite and most owned driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr. spun and ended up finishing back in 36th. Overall it was another terrific start to the NASCAR season and giving the series momentum as we head in to next week. The NASCAR haulers will now make their way North to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 this Sunday. The track is a 1.54 Mile Quad_Oval intermediate track. These intermediate tracks make up close to half the tracks in the 36 race season so we have plenty of data to help us pick out favorites. There is, however a wrinkle in the research this time around. NASCAR has fully implemented a new rules package for the 2016 season. Check out the terrific overview from NASCAR.com. This rules package was tested twice last year at Kentucky and Darlington and it was an overwhelming success. The reduction in the rear spoiler really helped reduce rear down force and produce more passing throughout the races. Although it was a small sample size we did notice a trend in those two races. Joe Gibbs Racing was, by far, the most dominant of the teams. The Kentucky races seen Kyle Busch dominate leading 163 laps en route to the win. His teammates Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, and Denny Hamlin all...
