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 need to get back on track with my 1 and Done picks. I am not holding back this week. Brad Keselowski has won 3 of the 6 races at Kentucky. This is his best track so I will roll the dice with the Blue Deuce in the 1 and Done league. He was very fast on the long runs in practice.
I am using Kyle Busch for my pick a driver twice league. I already used Keselowski twice in this format and Busch should be a safe pick. Busch has won 2 of the 6 races at Kentucky, he raced in the Camping World Truck Series, Xfinity Series and now the MENCS races this weekend. No driver will know how the track changes as well as Busch.
Good luck this week!
