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.

*Dale Earnhardt is at his best at the restrictor-plate tracks. Since Talladega is a more random race and produces wins by drivers who have no business being in Victory Lane, I will use Earnhardt at Daytona. This race requires a car that handles well and the best restrictor-plate drivers usually perform well in the race. He also starts from the pole Saturday night. Earnhardt is one of the hardest drivers to pass when he is leading the pack.
Good luck this week!
