Fantasy NASCAR Preview: Indianapolis

11. Clint Bowyer, #07 Jack Daniel's Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing

Bowyer finished 4th in his rookie year and 13th last year. He's a solid pick to do well, but not a top class A option.

12. Greg Biffle, #16 3M Ford, Roush-Fenway Racing

Biffle has just 1 top 10 in 5 starts, but did lead 11 laps last year despite finishing 15th in the race. He's not a top class B option, but is intriguing considering his 2008 turnaround and season long consistency.

13. Carl Edwards, #99 Office Depot Ford, Roush-Fenway Racing

Edwards was 9th, 12th, and 18th in his last 3 starts at the Brickyard. There are too many other good class A choices to use him this weekend.

14. Kurt Busch, #2 Miller Lite Dodge, Penske Racing South

Busch was 12th and 11th in his last 2 Brickyard starts and he has 1 top 5 in 7 starts. He isn't a top pick, but is another viable option at least.

15. Denny Hamlin, #11 FedEx Toyota, Gibbs Racing

Hamlin was 22nd last season after a 10th in 2006. He is good on almost all of the flatter tracks on the circuit and is one of the best drivers at Pocono. He won't be on your class A roster this weekend, but don't be surprised if he joins his Gibbs teammates near the front of the field.

16. Brian Vickers, #83 Red Bull Toyota, Red Bull Racing

Vickers is coming off another top 10 at Chicago and gets around Indianapolis pretty well. His last three finishes at the Brickyard are 3rd, 17th, and 21st. He is definitely the top class C choice yet again this weekend.

17. Juan Pablo Montoya, #42 Texaco Havoline Dodge, Chip Ganassi Racing

It's easy to forget that Juan Pablo was 2nd in this race last season. He has a storied history at Indianapolis and this is another weekend (along with the road courses) that he is worth taking a chance on in the class B group.

18. Ryan Newman, #12 ALLTEL Dodge, Penske Racing South

Newman crashed last year and had a race to forget, but was 13th in 2006. Still, he has just 1 top 10 in 7 starts; there are many better drivers to use this weekend.

19. Martin Truex, Jr., #1 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet, Dale Earnhardt Inc

Truex has finished 19th and 12th in his two Brickyard starts. The team needs to rebound from the penalty it was given after Daytona if it wants to make the Chase and they are running out of time to do it. I'm not sure this is a good time to have Truex on your roster based on the way he has run this season overall.

20. David Ragan, #6 AAA Ford, Roush-Fenway Racing

Ragan was 16th in his only start at the Brickyard and has been consistent enough this year to put himself in contention for a Chase spot. He isn't good enough this weekend for your class B roster though.

21. Reed Sorenson, #41 Target Dodge, Chip Ganassi Racing

Sorenson joins his teammate Montoya in the sleeper category this weekend. He was 5th in this race last year and led 16 laps -- a great improvement from his 30th place finish in 2006. It may have been outside the norm for him, but if your league allows you to substitute after qualifying and practice, he will be someone to keep an eye on.

22. Dave Blaney, #22 Caterpillar Toyota, Bill Davis Racing

Blaney placed an impressive 9th last season in this event, but his classification as a B driver makes him all but obsolete in Yahoo fantasy leagues. If you are in a league that ranks by current point standings, he will be a good choice.
