The 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will be competing at Texas Motor Speedway this week in the O’Reilly Auto Parts 500. The cream usually rises to the top at the 1.5-mile tracks so we will have to use one of our top drivers this week.
Here are my picks for Texas…

Joey Logano will be my pick for both the One & Done game and games which allow you to select a driver more than once throughout the season. Texas has been the best track for Logano and he usually cools off in the summer races so I would like to use him now. Logano has an average finishing position of 3.5 in the last 4 races at Texas. He should be a good pick for a top-five finish Sunday.
Good luck this week!
