Sleepers -
Ricky Stenhouse Jr - Most people don't realize it, but Stenhouse actually has been one of the most underrated fantasy options in the series through 3 races on the 1.5 mile tracks. In three races in 2020, he has produced an average finish of 10.7 with 82.4 driver rating and 16.3 average running position. Of course, he did score two top 5 finishes (no i did not realize that) in those three races. So obivously, his numbers are gonna be inflated by those two great finishes. He clearly not capable of doing that on a consistent basis, but he's better than what the public in general gives him credit for. I say a top 15 to top 20 finish is what the realistic hope is for Ricky. However, he has had some crappy luck in 2020. He's a very risky pick, but if you hit on then you might strike some gold (like at the 600 and at Las Vegas.)
Matt DiBenedetto - I was very disappointed in Matt at Bristol, but I am remaining very high on him overall. He has no finishes outside of the top 20, minus last week's race at Bristol. In three races on 1.5 mile tracks this season, he has produced 11.7 average finish with 14.3 average running position. In the three races, he has finishes of 2nd, 17th and 15th. Yes, I do realize that his 2nd place finish was because of a late caution that gave him good track position late. Reaslitically, I still say that he's a low to mid teen driver entering Sunday's race.
Dark Horses -
Alex Bowman - There things has been consistent about Alex Bowman in 2020: He has been fast and he hasn't gotten many good finishes to show for it. Realistically, only a few drivers have shown more speed than Alex Bowman during the 2020 season so far. Typically, when a driver is showing a lot speed, we keep trying to pick him because he will eventually have luck line up on his side. I think he will be visiting victory lane sooner than later. He was laps away at Las Vegas from taking the lead, in my opinion. He had the best car at the 600 and he had a top 3 car during the second Charlotte races. He has been very strong on these 1.5 mile tracks and he was at end of last season. He has been impressive on the 1.5 mile tracks overall since end of last season. If you are gonna gamble on someone this weekend, then maybe it should be Alex Bowman!
Kurt Busch - In each of the last few races, there has been times where Kurt Busch has been off the lead lap. Despite that, he battled back for a top 10 finish. In fact, Kurt has now finished 6 of his last 7 races in the top 10! Including three straight top 7 finishes in his last three races. At the last 1.5 mile track, he swept the top 7 and led 54 laps in the 600. Kurt has a pretty good record at Atlanta, which is another reason that I really like him this weekend at Atlanta, too. He is simply smooth here overall. He has finished 13th or better now in 10 straight races at Atlanta. In 8 of those 10 races, he has finished inside the top 10. Kurt is really consistent here and looking like one of the safer bets this weekend. I won't lie, I really haven't been on the Kurt bandwagon since we gone back racing. This is the first race, where I really want to see him succeed. I think everything is pointing to exactly that happening!
