The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will head back to Bristol Motor Speedway for the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race. This race is really hard to predict because the best cars often get caught up in wrecks at this track. This is a good week to take a chance with our One & Done pick.
Here are my picks for Bristol…

Trevor Bayne will be my One & Done pick this week. This is the home track for Bayne and it ranks as his best track on the circuit. Bayne has finished 4 of the last 5 races at Bristol in the top 12. I will gladly take a top-12 finish from him this week. Bayne will be splitting time with Matt Kenseth in the No. 6 car so we need to use him at his best track. That is this week.
I will use Kyle Larson in the games which allow you to use a driver more than once. He will get some extra seat time this week in the Xfinity Series car and he was fast in his MENCS car. Larson posted the fastest 10-lap, 15-lap, 20-lap and 30-lap average speed in practice. He loves this track and he is a great pick to win this week.
Good luck this week!
