NASCAR One & Done Picks for Talladega

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will travel to Talladega Superspeedway this week for the GEICO 500. Joe Gibbs Racing and Team Penske have won every race in 2019. That trend could change Sunday. Most of the drivers who are entered in the race this week have a good chance of winning. This is the race to take a chance with the lower funded drivers. The GEICO 500 can be seen Sunday at 2 p.m. ET on Fox.

My goal every year in the One & Done game is to have an average finishing position of 15^th or better from my drivers. Kyle Busch finished 8^th for us at Richmond and although that is a good finish, it is not good for a One & Done game. We needed a win with Busch in the One & Done game and we did not get it. Our average finishing position from our One & Done picks is 10.4. Not too bad. Now we need to get a top-10 finish from a driver we are not expecting much from.

Here are my picks for Talladega…

*Pick Driver Once*			*Pick Driver Twice*
Race	Driver	Result	Race	Driver	Result
Daytona	Jamie McMurray	22^nd	Daytona	Jamie McMurray	22^nd
Atlanta	Aric Almirola	8^th	Atlanta	Aric Almirola	8^th
Las Vegas	Austin Dillon	20^th	Las Vegas	Brad Keselowski	2^nd
Phoenix	Kevin Harvick	9^th	Phoenix	Kevin Harvick	9^th
Auto Club	Brad Keselowski	3^rd	Auto Club	Brad Keselowski	3^rd
Martinsville	Clint Bowyer	7^th	Martinsville	Clint Bowyer	7^th
Texas	Jimmie Johnson	5^th	Texas	Joey Logano	17^th
Bristol	Matt Dibenedetto	12^th	Bristol	Erik Jones	24^th
Richmond	Kyle Busch	8^th	Richmond	Kyle Busch	8^th
Talladega	Ty Dillon	?	Talladega	Ricky Stenhouse Jr.	?

My One & Done pick this week will Ty Dillon. Talladega is his best track. He has competed in four MENCS races at Talladega and he has NEVER finished outside the top 15. Dillon will start 13^th Sunday and have a pretty good pit selection. We need drivers who can finish in the top 15 so I will roll the dice with the No. 13 GEICO Chevy in the GEICO 500.

Good luck this week!
