Use Marcos Ambrose in Las Vegas to free up some salary cap funds.

The stats are near identical for the two drivers with Ambrose just besting Logano on average finish (12.7) and average points earned (32). Ambrose has had 3 consecutive top 20 finishes at Vegas with finishes of 20th, 14th, and a 4th place finish last year.

Marcos Ambrose is viable dark horse pick for Texas Motor Speedway

Of the ten tracks on the NASCAR schedule that NASCAR designates as intermediate (oval greater than 1 mile, but less than 2 miles) tracks, Texas Motor Speedway is about 3rd for Marcos Ambrose in the success category. He has 6 career races here with 1 (17%) top-10, 3 (50%) top-15 and 4 (67%) top-20. His best finish here is 6th which he earned in the spring race this year. Ambrose was solid all night with an Average Running Position of 7th and running in the top-15 99.7% of the race. Marcos has 1 top-5, 2 top-10's and 3 top-20 finishes at the four intermediate tracks during the Chase. Ambrose has an average finish position at Texas of 18.2 over the last five and 11.6 over the last three. If you are running short of quality drivers in your B- or C-groups (or where ever the Aussie falls in your particular game) then Texas could be a good place to use him. Fantasy NASCAR expert Ryan Rantz considers him a viable dark horse pick which in our book is reason enough to include him on our fantasy team.
