Hey racefans, Bryan here—back again with my fantasy NASCAR picks, and this week we’re headed to sunny South Florida for the Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

If you’re in a league like mine, you already know the rules: 6 total drivers, with 1 main driver locked in for the season (for me, that’s Tyler Reddick) and the remaining 5 split into 2 from the top 12 in standings and 3 from drivers ranked 13th and below.
