2018 RR Fantasy NASCAR Rules & Daytona

A NEW feature each week: For every driver in the Top-10, I show how many people placed that driver in the Top-10, Top-5, and as their winner. I also show the 11th place driver to show how many people were maybe rooting for him to be in the Top-10.

Hope this gives you something interesting to look at while I finish up sorting through tiebreakers and current point standings.

Analysis of Top-10 finishers:

1. #3 Austin Dillon - 6 placed him in Top-10, 3 in Top-5, 1 as winner
2. #43 Darrell Wallace Jr. - 11, 5, 1
3. #11 Denny Hamlin - 22, 16, 0
4. #22 Joey Logano - 19, 12, 0
5. #37 Chris Buescher - 1, 0, 0
6. #21 Paul Menard - 8, 2, 0
7. #12 Ryan Blaney - 24, 17, 6
8. #31 Ryan Newman - 7, 3, 0
9. #34 Michael McDowell - 2, 0, 0
10. #47 A.J. Allmendinger - 4, 2, 1

11. #10 Aric Almirola - 3, 0, 0

Some notes:

- Only 5 people picked former Daytona 500 Champions as their winner (Jimmie Johnson [1], Kevin Harvick [4], Ryan Newman [0], Jamie McMurray [0], Trevor Bayne [0], Joey Logano [0], Denny Hamlin [0], Kurt Busch [0])

- The 'Big One' on Lap 103 took out the winner of 21/28 predictions (Brad Keselowski [10], Chase Elliott [6], Kevin Harvick [4], Danica Patrick [1]). Winners of 2 other predictions were already out by that point (Erik Jones & Jimmie Johnson)

- Almost everyone has a chance to finish in the Top-10 at a restrictor plate race. Our predictions seem to show that. Only 4/40 drivers were not listed in any prediction (Gray Gaulding, Corey LaJoie, David Gilliland, D.J. Kennington)
