It is a throwback weekend where teams and drivers will sport car paint schemes and even costumes emulating drivers and teams from years past. Darlington has been a staple on the Cup Series schedule since back in 1950 and is duly named the track "Too Tough to Tame". It is a 1.366-mile asphalt track that is very narrow and creates a very tough environment for even the best drivers in the world. It was repaved back in 2007 but with 10 years of wear, it has become very abrasive again which will wear tires very fast and put a ton of emphasis on strategy for crew chiefs and teams. The other thing that adds to the difficulty is that each end of the track is different with different banking. As you would expect, it is also a track where the veteran drivers almost always come out on top. For fantasy, we will once again be looking to build around dominator point upside as there has been at least one(two last year) driver to lead 100 or more laps in each of the last six races here. There have also been multiple drivers(three drivers in 2017 & 2012) to lead 50 or more laps in four of the last six races. Passing can be difficult here so unless something dramatic happens in qualifying, place differential will be slightly discounted this week. Only once in the last six races has there been double-digit drivers pick up double-digit place differential points. With that said, let's dig in to the trends for this race and then look at some pre-qualifying targets. Last Six Winners at Darlington Denny Hamlin(started 9th, led 124 laps) Martin Truex Jr.(started 8th, led 28 laps) Carl Edwards(started 13th, led 15 laps) Kevin Harvick(started 1st, led 238 laps) Matt Kenseth(started 7th, led 17...
