NASCAR Pick’em Contest for Charlotte

One of the more popular ways that some people play fantasy racing is by entering a NASCAR Pick’ems Contest. Players select one driver for each race, but you can only select a driver one or two times during the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season. I will be providing my picks each week to help out members who play these types of games.

I am quickly running out of drivers for the 1 and Done game. The Drivers I have left include: Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Austin Dillon, Cole Whitt, Corey LaJoie, Reed Sorenson, Jeffrey Earnhardt, Gray Gaulding, Derrike Cope and B.J. McLeod. That does not leave me a lot to work with. This is my first year playing this game. I have plans for Johnson (Martinsville) and Harvick (Phoenix), but the rest of the races may be ugly.

Austin Dillon won the last race at Charlotte and this is his best 1.5-mile track. I will give the No. 3 car a spot in my One and Done lineup this week.

I will give Clint Bowyer the spot on my Pick a Driver Twice league. Bowyer qualified 5^th and his car has been fast this weekend. Bowyer should finish in the top 10 Sunday.

Good luck this week!
