Fantasy Auto Racing: Overton 400

What: Overton 400
When: July 30^th
Where: Long Pond, PA
2016 Winner: Chris Buescher

Track: Pocono Raceway.  Back at the Pocono again! Opened in 1971 the "Tricky Triangle"  asphalt track has a 14 degree banking on turn one, 8 degree on turn 2 and 6 degree on turn 3.

A Driver.
Brad Keslowski. 2^nd place finish at the Brickyard and he comes to Pennsylvania where he has seven top 10 finishes and six top 5 finishes. Brad's racing has really impressed me over the last 2 months. Accidents have derailed him in some starts but excluding those he's had top ten finishes in all but one race. So...accident or top 10 finish. He finished 5^th earlier this year at the Pocono.

B Drivers.
Kurt Busch. Seven top 10 finishes at Long Pond. I'm hoping he steps out of his recent funk where 3 of his last 4 starts were finishes outside the top 25. It can't sustain for long, he'll bounce back with a great finish one of the next 2-3 races and I think this is the one.

Ryan Blaney. Won here earlier this year, he finished 10^th and 11^th here last year. The Tricky Triangle is Blaney's for the taking.

C Driver.
Erik Jones. I only have 3 starts with him left but he was a top 5 finish here last year so I'll bank on a repeat performance from the elite rookie.

Dark Horse.
Chris Buescher. Yes he's outside of C group but if you want a Dark Horse there, it's in this order: Daniel Suarez, Ty Dillon then David Ragan. I want to highlight Chris who has a 15^th place finish here and has top 20 finishes in 4 of his last 5 races capped off by a very well-articulated 9th place finish at the Brickyard (not to mention a win here last year)
