Fantasy Report: Goody's Cool Orange 500

The track that has been part of NASCAR since its humble beginning: Martinsville Speedway.

This short track race sometimes gets overlooked because of its proximity in the season, and similarities, to Bristol. However, it is not overlooked by the drivers. This is a tough track for them, mentally and physically.

Our picks:

Brandon's picks: Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin✔, Kyle Busch✔, Juan Pablo Montoya, Ryan Newman✔, Bobby Labonte, Scott Riggs✔ and Brian Vickers.

Erik's picks: Denny Hamlin✔, Jeff Gordon, Casey Mears✔, Jamie McMurray✔, Ryan Newman, Greg Biffle, David Reutimann and Scott Riggs✔.

I based this weeks picks solely on past races, 2008 season performance and a little bit of guesstimation.

Fantasy hint: You should put Newman on your roster at any track he has previously set the pole. He's a pole setting-machine and those qualifying points can really add up over the season.

Picking the winner doesn't mean much when two of your drivers finish 38th and 41st. Kudos to Erik for picking the winner as well and jumping up to 11th with a 23 point lead on me. I dropped from 7th to a 2-team tie for 16th and I'm only 101 points out of first if that tells you anything about how close the top 20 currently are.
