Fantasy Predictions for the IceBreaker 200

Home Track Favorites:
Chad McCumbee – Former NASCAR Truck Series racer and multi-time winner at Myrtle Beach Speedway.

Justin Milliken – Former Track Champion and One of Top Racers at Myrtle Beach in the last 10 years.

Sam Yarbrough – The most recent Track Champion and winner of the most races (13) last year.

Sleeper Picks:
Chase Purdy – Who? Yeah … he’s driving for Lee McCall and his cars are always in contention at the Beach. He also won his first start in a Late Model/Limited a couple weeks ago at Greenville Pickens in a Southeast Limited race.

Tyler English – Two wins last season in a breakthrough season and he could very well be one of the drivers to beat this weekend and all season long.

Justin Johnson – He finished second to then car owner Frank Deiny, Jr. and you know he learned a lot about getting around Myrtle Beach from Deiny.

3 Drivers to Watch:
Lee Pulliam – Former Battle at the Beach winner and multi-time NWAAS Champion.

Myatt Snider – Winner of the Most Recent Race and one of the most consistent drivers of 2015.

Tommy Lemons, Jr. – Second place finish last fall and always in the mix at every track.  Hungry for a Myrtle Beach win.
