Trying to project how drivers and teams will perform on a week-to-week basis means trying to balance a number of factors, such as driver track history, team track history and recent all track/related-track performances by both teams and drivers.Then we get into race weekend, and I try to factor in practice speeds and qualifying performance. Then from there, factor in how drivers starting positions historically affect performance at assorted tracks.Hey, I never said I didnt like a challenge.Lets put it into perspective at this weekends locale, Pocono. Its a very individual racetrack in that its the only one on the circuit that is triangular. But in terms of makeup, its long straightaways and tight, flat corners make it reminiscent of Indianapolis.Last week at Indy, Kyle Busch flat dominated, going nearly wire-to-wire for the win. Gibbs has been the dominant team this season, winning nine of the 20 races itself, and picking up another win via the Gibbs-supported Furniture Row Racing.Furniture Row and Gibbs are the two highest-scoring teams this season in terms of DraftKings points per race. And five of the top-six single-race scoring totals have come from those two teams (two from Busch, two from Carl Edwards and one from Martin Truex Jr.).So Kyle Busch dominated at Indianapolis, but his recent history says hes not the driver to take at Pocono. In the last nine races there, four times he hasnt put up positive fantasy points, without a top-five finish in the bunch. So thats one vote pro, and one vote con.On the flip side, you have Hendrick Motorsports. No team has won more at this track than Hendrick, including five of the last eight (but none of the last three).Take a look, though, at the teams average points per race over the last four seasons: 44.6 in 2013, 43.9 in 2014, 35.1 in 2015 and 32.7 in 2016. The team just snapped its longest top-10 drought since 2000. Im making sure to take 2016 Hendrick Motorsports, not the 2013 version.But the 2013 version included a Pocono race last month in which rookie Chase Elliott led the most laps.The info is all on the table, but Ill do my best to sort it all out now that qualifying is in the books.Here are my picks and fades for Sundays race. Remember, its not just finishing position that matters; start/finish differential, fastest laps run and laps led all come into play. Cheap Nike Zoom .

LONDON -- The English Football Association fears that Britains exit from the European Union will make it harder to win bids to host major tournaments.Although only half of the 55 members of European soccers governing body are in the EU, FA chairman Greg Clarke is concerned that England might find it tougher to build alliances as a result of the Brexit vote.England failed with bids for the World Cup in 2006 and then 2018, but did win the right to host the semifinals and final at the first continent-wide European Championship in 2020. Europe might have to wait until 2034 to be in line for another World Cup after Russia in 2018, but England could target a full European Championship before then.Clarke said he was mulling what Brexit does to our chances of a future tournament as he flew back from Englands first qualifier for the 2018 World Cup in Slovakia on Sunday.Can we count on EU support or will they vote for EU nations (for tournaments) in the future? I dont know the answer to that, but we have to get to the bottom of that, Clarke said.We have to build relations directly within UEFA now and not rely on the support of the EU nations because they might say weve got an EU member who wants it this year. So its doubly important to have really strong relationships in UEFA and FIFA and Im going to be working hard at that.The FA might have to slightly change our tactics for getting a tournament, Clarke said.It might be jointly hosted with an EU member, he added of a potential bid. We are thinking about those things.Clarke was speaking at an event hosted by football anti-discrimination group Kick It Out , whose chairman Herman Ouseley spoke out about discriminatory incidents in Britain since the divisive EU referendum in June when 52 percent voted to leave the 28-nation bloc.The more immediate impact of Brexit, once Britain formally triggers the two-yeear countdown to leave the EU, will be how any new visa and immigration system affects the flow of foreign players into the English Premier League.ddddddddddddWe know what the threats and what the opportunities are, Clarke said. We will move to engage our partners in Europe and the government and the agencies and others to make the best of it for English football.Clarke started as FA chairman last week. Here are other issues he touched on at his first media briefing:---ENGLAND TEAMClarke is scrubbing the firm target set by predecessor Greg Dyke that England must emulate its 1966 World Cup triumph in 2022.England exited Euro 2016 with a humiliating round of 16 loss to Iceland, leading to Roy Hodgson being replaced as manager by Sam Allardyce.Im not going to put pressure on Sam and say we are going to win this tournament or that tournament, Clarke said. But I want to see a competitive team.So the clock counting down to the 2022 finals in Qatar could go from the England team headquarters.That clocks daft, Clarke said.England made a winning start to World Cup qualifying, scoring in stoppage time to beat Slovakia 1-0 in Allardyces first match in charge.---ROONEY RETIREMENTEngland captain Wayne Rooney announced last week that he will retire from international duty after the World Cup in Russia. Clarke hopes he changes he mind.I note that (Argentina captain Lionel) Messi retired and then decided to come back again, Clarke said. If you are good enough, Sam will pick you. So if (Rooney) changes his mind, if he has a good World Cup and Wayne thinks to himself `I fancy a bit more of that and Sam wants to pick him, why wouldnt he (continue playing)?---Rob Harris at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www.facebook.com/RobHarrisReports ' ' '
