If I can manage the regularity, I am going to put the Fantasy NASCAR Cheat Sheet to the test to pick the majority of the top 10 (or so) each week. Based on an algorithm that is my own devising and surely to be tweaked over the weeks, I’ve come up with my picks for the Auto Club 500 at California Speedway.
These are based solely on the numbers. No previous incidents of luck or misfortune. No consideration for Silly Season.
| Picks for NASCAR Auto Club 500 : February 26, 2006 | |
|---|---|
| Driver | Finish |
| Carl Edwards | Winner |
| Kurt Busch | Top 5 |
| Greg Biffle | Top 5 |
| Mark Martin | Top 10 |
| Jimmie Johnson | Top 10 |
| Jamie McMurray | Top 10 |
| Brian Vickers | Top 10 |
| Kyle Busch | Top 10 |
The NASCAR Database is getting a major layout tweak and new paint job. I’ll be rolling it out soon. On the short list of things to finish are:
- Reducing the number of drivers in the drop down list
- Layout of the main menu
- Multiple driver selection
Here’s the actual statistics for the NASCAR Nextel (Winston) Cup races the last 3 years at California Speedway.

As always, I’m open to suggestions.
