Nashville Ally 400 Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings

Joey Logano
Nashville Fantasy prospect – In Nashville I would see Logano as a low double digits to mid teens driver. Logano’s had success here, but he wasn’t that hot last year, which of course is the most important race since fantasy racing is largely about “What have you been doing lately.” This year during the Dover + High-Speed ​​1.5-Mile Track Grouping, which has correlation, Logano was not at his best and during the combined races he has the 18th best Track Type Total Speed ​​Ranking and minus Kansas where he his average finish crashed is 12.5.
Nashville Track History – In Nashville, Joey Logano has a few top 10s, but he was a dud last year. In 2023, Logano started 4th, did not place in any stage, had an average running position of 13.6, and then finished 19th overall. In terms of Total Speed ​​Rankings, Logano ranked 19th, which matched his finish. Over the two races before that, Logano was 2 for 2 when finishing in the top ten, with an average finish of 9.5. In 2022, Logano finished 9th, had an average running rank of 10.8, and had the 13th best Total Speed ​​Ranking. With ten laps to go before the final caution came out, Logano was in twelfth place. In 2021, Logano finished 8th in Stage #1, had an average running rank of 8.2, and went on to finish 10th. In terms of speed analysis, Logano had the 8th best Total Speed ​​Ranking, the 11th best Green Flag Speed ​​and was the 12th fastest driver Late In A Run.

Josh Berry
Nashville Fantasy prospect – Josh Berry is running well and getting good results, so hopefully the good times will continue in Nashville. Since Talladega minus Gateway and Sonoma, Josh Berry has an average finish of 9.7 and has had a top 16 result in every race. Over the last three races at tracks where I would look for correlation, Berry had results of 14th (Dover), 15th (Kansas) and 10th (Charlotte). On Sunday I would see Berry as a teenage driver, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he has even more of an edge.
Nashville Track History – Josh Berry has never competed at the Cup level in Nashville. At the Xfinity level, Josh Berry has finished in the top five in two of his three races. Last year Berry finished 5th.

Kyle Busch
Nashville Fantasy prospect – If Kyle Busch can keep the #8 on track in Nashville and stay out of trouble, I would expect him to put on a solid showing and maybe even flirt with a top ten. That’s a “BIG IF” and is certainly not a guarantee. Busch ran well in Nashville with a pair of top 11s and in the other he was second with 10 to go before deciding to pit during a late caution that ruined his afternoon. This year at the Dover + High-Speed ​​1.5-Mile Track Grouping, Busch is ranked 11th in the best Track Type Total Speed ​​Ranking and minus Las Vegas, where he achieved a misleading result, his average finish is 9th.
Nashville Track History – Nashville has been a solid track for Kyle Busch and over the three races combined, Busch has the 6th best driver rating, 6th best average running position and an average finish of 13.7, which underrates him. In terms of Next Gen Speed ​​Rankings over the last two, Busch ranks 5th. Last year Busch did not have an incident-free race, but he still came home in 9th. In the race, Busch started 11th, but then problems arose early and on lap 17, while running in 10th place, Busch suffered a tire problem and made an unexpected pit stop that put him a lap down. Later, Busch was caught speeding during the caution on Stage #1 and then on Stage #2, Busch was spun out during a restart (he didn’t hit anything). That list of issues makes his 9th look pretty good. In terms of speed stats, Busch ranked 4th for Speed ​​Late In A Run and 9th for best overall speed rankings. I note that during the last quarter of the race the #8 was the third fastest car on the track. In 2022, Busch started from the back, finished 9th on stage #1, finished third on stage #2, led 54 laps and ran second with ten to go before deciding to pit during the final caution, leaving him dropped to 12th with 4 to go, and where things really got wild, torpedoing his afternoon, leading to a 21st. In terms of speed stats, Busch ranked third in overall speed rankings and third for Speed ​​Late In A Run. In 2021, Busch was strong, but when the checkered flag waved, he finished with an asterisk in 11th. In the race he finished 4th on stage #1, 5th on stage #2 (lap 185) and had an average running position of 8.7. Early in the final stage, during a restart on lap 203, Kyle Busch was 10th, but for whatever reason he suddenly dropped like a rock and was back in 26th by lap 210. When his team radioed him, Busch said he had nothing to report. report. The next caution came on lap 227 and from then on he recovered to 11th place. In terms of overall speed rankings, Busch ranked 8th.
