Fantasy Report: Allstate 400 at The Brickyard

The Brickyard is home to victories from Indy drivers such as Mario Andretti, Al Unser Jr. and Emerson Fittipaldi. A storied history of open wheels that always makes any racing on this track exciting to watch. This week the track will take a different look as it hosts its annual NASCAR race. Look for some intense racing as the "Chase for the Cup" draws nearer.

Erik’s picks:
Jeff Gordon✔, Tony Stewart, Mark Martin✔, Juan Pablo Montoya✔, Jamie McMurray, Greg Biffle, Scott Riggs✔ and Brian Vickers.

Brandon’s picks:
Kevin Harvick✔, Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin✔, Juan Pablo Montoya✔, Greg Biffle, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers✔ and Paul Menard.

Fantasy hint: When you think of Indy from a NASCAR point of view two drivers seem to come to mind: Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart. They have six combined wins since 1994. Don’t look at current standings because these two always seem to make their way to the front at Indy.

What an awful race! Not even from the perspective of my dismal fantasy performance but because of all the competition yellows. Congrats to Erik for retaking the lead.

If you learn anything from my picks from Indy let it be this: consistancy is key to winning. Had I not gambled to try to get ahead and picked Gordon like most other people I wouldn't have had such poor showing.
