Martinsville is always one of the most anticipated races of the year and the track that was established in 1947, holds a special place in all NASCAR fans. Below are my top fantasy NASCAR rankings for the Goody 500:
1. Tony Stewart – Stewart is finally up to speed and will be a heavy favorite this weekend.
2. Kevin Harvick – Harvick has stepped up in the last couple of weeks and is really pushing Biffle for the points lead.
3. Jimmie Johnson – Johnson has looked great this week at practice and has 6 career wins at Martinsville.
4. Greg Biffle – “Biff” continues to have a career season by leading the field in points.
5. Dale Earnhardt Jr. – Martinsville is one of Earnhardt’s favorite courses with an amazing 9 career top-five finishes.
6. Brad Keselowski – Keselowski is the most underrated driver on the circuit and is worth the pickup week in and week out.
7. Jeff Gordon – Gordon has been quietly competing over the last several races and “JG” is a great sleeper to grab the checkered flag this weekend.
8. Matt Kenseth – The veteran has never won at Martinsville, but he still has seven career top-ten finishes in Virginia.
9. Carl Edwards – Edwards won the pole last year at Martinsville and loves these old school courses.
10. Martin Truex Jr. – MTJ is now a threat to finish in the top-ten each race.
