NASCAR One & Done Picks for Indianapolis

If one crown jewel race is not enough for you… How about two? The MENCS heads to Indianapolis Motor Speedway to compete in the Brickyard 400. It is cool NASCAR used this track as the last chance for teams to make the playoffs, but it will be different next year. The Indianapolis race will move to the 4^th of July weekend and the Daytona 500 will be the last chance race. That should be interesting. But first we must set the field for the 2019 playoffs. The Big Machine Vodka Brickyard 400 can be seen Sunday at 2 p.m. ET on NBC.

My goal every year in the One & Done game is to have an average finishing position of 15^th or better from my drivers. Last week I used my start with Chris Buescher and he came through for us. Buescher finished 12^th and my average finishing position for the season is now 12.8. Not too bad.

Here are my picks for Indianapolis…

Darlington	Chris Buescher	12^th	Darlington	Denny Hamlin	29^th
Brickyard	Paul Menard	?	Brickyard	William Byron	?

My One & Done pick this week will be Chris Buescher. I have been saving Buescher for the Southern 500. Darlington ranks as his best track. He has a 15^th place average finishing position at the Track Too Tough to Tame and he has run well on the large oval tracks this season. I expect the No. 37 car to finish near the top 10 again this week. Buescher will start 12^th Sunday evening.

Good luck this week!
