Johnny G’s 2016 Geico 500 at Talladega NASCAR DraftKings Fantasy

In one of the two restrictor plate race tracks of the year (Daytona), anything can happen all race long and you can be leading with 2 laps to go and end up 26th. Very frustrating. For all you non-race lingo fans, a restrictor plate prevents the full amount of air into the carburetor, hence limiting horsepower and therefore speed. One of the reasons, see below:

Anyway, back to 2016 and the Geico 500. So with so much variability it can be tough to watch your fantasy Nascar lineup through the day. I like to grab a few guys in the top 5 qualifiers, thinking they will stay out of trouble and hopefully lead some laps. Then get some value guys that have some potential to win. Think Stenhouse, McMurray, Bayne, and Ragan.

Of the big boys, I like Jimmie Johnson, but I want to see qualifying, since point differential from start to finish is huge here. So many guys have best lap speeds and with less laps, the place differential becomes important. Also, rarely do people go a lap down here. I also am a big fan of Chase Elliot. He drives with no fear and will be aggressive. If you want more conservative drivers that could creep into the top ten, think Newman or Menard.

Hi, my name is Johnny Giovonni. I am in the financial services industry and own my own business on the side. I work too much and golf too little. That is why I helped create this site, so I could at least have the dream of golfing everyday. Also, I am a huge numbers person and have researched many advanced gaming theories and other nerd stuff like the Rule of 72 and Benford's Law. When I am not working I am either golfing, watching sports, or researching statistics for my weekly and daily fantasy picks. I am under full belief there is an enormous advantage to be had with information when picking your lineups every week. I hope to bring that knowledge to this website. I look forward to writing and responding to your comments. Check out some of our course reviews, fantasy sports picks and as always, provide any feedback!
