Look for some surprise winners this week in Fantasy Racing.

This week the Sprint Cup Series heads to California for the Auto Club 400. Last year, Kevick Harvick passed Jimmie Johnson on the final turn to win this race in one of the most exciting finishes of the year. While Harvick figures to be a factor again this week, it is Johnson who comes in to this week with some added momentum. Johnson returns home to California and heads to Fontana six spots further ahead in the standings than where he found himself after last week’s race at Bristol. The decision to overturn the suspension of Chad Knaus and to rescind the 25 point penalty against the 48 team moves Johnson just outside of the top ten to start the race this week. Johnson is coming off a strong race at Las Vegas where he finished second and a top ten run last week at Bristol. Johnson heads to a track where he has won five times and finished second another five times. Given the fact that he will still have Chad Knaus on top of the pit box calling the shots this week, one has to consider Johnson a heavy favorite to take another checkered-flag at Fontana. (more…)
