Gander RV 400 This week the Monster Energy Cup Series heads back to the Tricky Triangle for the second time for the Gander RV 400 this Sunday afternoon. This time around the track will be adding a layer of the PJ1 compound in an effort to once again create more passing and better overall racing. It will be applied to the high groove in turns one and three and in the middle groove in turn two. Hopefully the race turns out like last week where we saw a whopping 14 drivers make at least 50 green flag passes led by Ryan Newman(90) who had to start from the rear to begin with, had an engine go down that they repaired to get him back on track and ending up with an amazing 7th place finish. Speaking of the race at New Hampshire last weekend, we saw some very disappointing finishes from from Kyle Larson(33rd), Ricky Stenhouse Jr(36th), Jimmie Johnson(30th), Austin Dillon(32nd), and Clint Bowyer(20th) who are all winless and hovering around the playoff bubble with six races to go in the regular season. Let's take a look in and around the bubble heading into this final stretch(Top 16 make the Playoffs). 13th - Kyle Larson(519 points) 14th - Erik Jones(516 points) 15th - Ryan Newman(509 points) 16th - Clint Bowyer(505 points) 17th - Jimmie Johnson(488 points) 18th - Daniel Suarez(488 points) From a fantasy perspective, track position is very important as it is one of the highest correlated tracks when looking at start position to finish position. Taking it further we have seen seven of the Top 10 finishers coming from a Top 10 starting position in five of the last six races here. The one race we did see a ton of place differential was the second race here last year where more than a dozen drivers failed inspection and started in the rear. Looking at dominator points, only once in the last six races has a driver led 100 or more...

Pocono 400 Pocono Raceway - Long Pond, PA Track - 2.5 Mile Tri-Oval 14° of Banking in Turns 1 8° of Banking in Turn 2 6° of Banking in Turn 3 This week the Monster Energy Cup Series heads to one of the most unique tracks in NASCAR, Pocono Raceway. It is called the "Tricky Triangle" for a reason as it has just three corners and all three are different and present different challenges for crew and car chiefs to get the car setup. You either have to sacrifice handling in once corner to be good in the other two or go balanced between them. Rarely you will see a car set up perfectly for all three corners. For fantasy, these challenges combined with only 160 laps in the race really limits the dominator upside. Only twice has a driver led 100 or more laps in a Pocono race going all the way back to 2010(18 races). When it comes to track position and correlation from start to finish, last year was a bit of an anomaly(.227 correlation) as the average correlation has been .570 in the previous five race before that. The difference last year was that a lot of fast cars qualified outside the Top 20 and Top 30 starting positions. With the new single-car qualifying, I don't expect that to happen this time around. A reminder that both practice sessions are on Friday with Qualifying now on Saturday before the Xfinity race. It is an impound weekend but inspection is being done Saturday before qualifying so we don't have to wait until pre-race Sunday for the official starting lineup.
