1) Kevin Harvick (Starting – 10th) Auto Club Fantasy Spin – Kevin Harvick will be tough to beat at Auto Club Speedway as he vies for 4th straight win of the 2018 season. Momentum matters in fantasy NASCAR and he has it. At the two intermediate tracks visited this year he’s put on a display […]
Jimmie Johnson – Auto Club Speedway has been an awesome track for Jimmie Johnson. At this venue he’s a six-time winner who’s finished in the top five 57% percent of the time, and in the top ten 70% percent of the time. His Auto Club average finish is 7.1, at no other track is he […]

William Byron – Reigning Xfinity Series champion William Byron will be making his series debut in the Daytona 500. I will note I think he has dark horse fantasy potential but he’s awfully risky. Young drivers of his caliber haven’t had good performances in recent Daytona 500’s. Between Elliott, Suarez and Jones they had a […]
Ryan Blaney – Ryan Blaney is a strong restrictor plate driver. On this track type he’s one of the more aggressive competitors and isn’t afraid to make big moves. Last year on this track type he scored the 8th most points, in 2016 he scored the 9th most points. At Daytona, Blaney doesn’t have the […]
Martin Truex Jr. Trending : Slightly Down Nobody was better than Martin Truex Jr. in 2017. He walked away with the championship, won 8 races and finished in the top five 53% percent of the time. His level of performance was high everywhere and his dominance at intermediate tracks was unparalleled. In 2018, I think […]
Strengths – Nobody was better than Martin Truex Jr. last year and in 2018 he’ll be looking to repeat. In 2017 he was strong across the board and competed for wins on almost every track type. This upcoming season I would look for Truex to be at his best at intermediate tracks where he was historically […]

Strengths – Brad Keselowski is one of the most versatile drivers in NASCAR and he’s capable of winning on any given Sunday. He’s also one of the smartest drivers so don’t overlook that intangible. In 2018 I would look for him to be at his very best at Intermediate tracks, Flat tracks, Martinsville, Talladega and Watkins […]
Strengths – Kurt Busch is a talented driver across many different track types. He’s capable of finishing well at nearly every track on the schedule. In 2018 look for him to be at his best at shorter flat tracks, road courses, restrictor plate tracks and Pocono. At intermediate tracks he’s also proven himself to be a […]
Strengths – Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is an elite restrictor plate driver and in 2018 he’ll likely compete for more wins at those venues. In 2017 he won twice on that track type, once at Daytona and once at Talladega. Stenhouse Jr. also has some fantasy playability at intermediate tracks, shorter flat tracks and Bristol. Weaknesses – […]
