Fantasy picks

I've looked at all the usual fantasy picks tip sites and nearly all say the same thing. Tony Stewart. Yet looking at the stats on racing-info only 3 drivers in the history of the race every won from 20th or worse. Today Tony is starting 43rd due to going to a back up car. If he wasn't in the backup and starting in 5th then I would consider him, but otherwise he's out on my list for today.

Here is my list for todays race.
