NASCAR needs more short tracks on their schedule. It has been since the first week of May since the MENCS competed on a track under 1.5-miles in length. While the larger tracks have produced some competitive racing this season, the short tracks are where tempers flare and the action heats up. The race at the Magic Mile should be a fun one to watch. The Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 can be seen Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Net.
My goal every year in the One & Done game is to have an average finishing position of 15th or better from my drivers. Sometimes luck does not go our way in Fantasy NASCAR. William Byron was running 2nd at the end of the race at Kentucky. NASCAR determined the No. 24 car beat Clint Bowyer to the start so he was penalized. Byron was still able to finish 18th but a top-five would have been great for our One & Done picks. The average finishing position for the picks in 2019 is 12.9. Not too bad but a top 10 average would be great.
Here are my picks for New Hampshire…

My One & Done pick this week will be Ryan Preece. The No. 47 car has not been up front much this season but we have to use Preece in a race this season. Why not use him at his home track? The Berlin, Connecticut native has 23 starts in the NASCAR Wheelen Modified Series, 1 start in the K&N Pro East Series and 5 starts in the Xfinity Series at the Magic Mile. That is a lot of experience at New Hampshire. If Preece cannot figure out this track, he probably should not be in a Cup Series car.
Good luck this week!
