Driver Rankings for Yahoo Auto Racing '09

By Eric McGuire, Monday, February 9, 2009

Yahoo Fantasy NASCAR is now available, and there are some surprises in their driver classification for this year you may want to check out. Mark Martin is a class A driver, despite driving for a team that didn't make the Chase last year. Clint Bowyer is an A driver, but isn't even guaranteed a starting spot in the first 5 races (not his fault, and he has made the Chase each of the last two years). Drivers with terrible track records litter the class B landscape. Case in point: David Stremme, Travis Kvapil, David Gilliland, Elliott Sadler (not the same guy from the early part of the decade), and Michael Waltrip. If everything is relative, how are they in the same group with Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin, David Ragan, Kasey Kahne, and Dale Earnhardt Jr.? Class C is depleted as always - although I'm not convinced that Bobby Labonte belongs there.

Below are our preseason rankings broken down by the Yahoo class system.
