Phoenix Fantasy Preview

This week, we have the 3rd COT (Car of Over Time) race as NASCAR travels to Phoenix International Speedway. Last week the drivers I picked, did very well

Gordon got 4th, McMurray 5th, Truex 7th, and Kahne 20th. I hope you took my advice and went with some of these drivers. Now onto this weeks picks.

Phoenix International Speedway

Top 10 positions-

Denny Hamlin

In the last race at Phoenix in 2006, Hamlin brought home a 3rd place finish. This week he qualified 3rd and has averaged a 6th place finish over the last two races. Put him in your lineup this week and expect a top 5 finish from him.

Positions 11-20
Kurt Busch
Kurt Busch has had a win at Phoenix when he was driving for Roush racing. He hasn't repeated that success since 2005. Over the last four races, he has posted a top 12 finish in three of them. Will he challenge for the win? Perhaps. Will he get a top 10 finish? Yes. This team is getting better, it must be the new ears.

Postions 21-30

Reed Sorenson
Has anyone notice the performance this team has been showing on the track? Has anyone noticed the bad luck that keeps following them? They had a top 5 car most of the race at Texas before a blown engine. This has been the story of his Nextel cup career. Look for him to get the bad luck behind him as he gets you a good finish when others in your league aren't even considering him.

Positions 31st-99th

Kasey Kahne

Two weeks in a row that I am picking him here. With him sitting in 33rd place, this may be the last week that he falls into this category. Two of their last 3 races have been top 20 runs. Can you believe that is actually good for this team this year? Because he is the best of this group, you have to choose him again. Next week we will contemplate Dale Jarrett v Kyle Petty.
