Hey race fans!

We’re rolling into Gateway this week for the Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway, and if you’re anything like me, you’re already knee deep in stats, stage point history, and playoff positioning trying to lock in the perfect fantasy picks.

It’s race #28 of the season, and while the playoffs are heating up, we’re not just looking at who’s got momentum, we’re also considering who shows up when the rubber meets the road in Madison, Illinois.

I am leaning into the Toyota camp hard this week, sticking with what’s been fast on flatter ovals, and looking for those sneaky point-haulers outside the top 12 to round out the board. Let’s dive in this week’s picks.

Wow. What a night under the lights at Darlington for the first race of the 2025 playoffs and let me tell you, it did not disappoint.

This race had it all: drama, domination, heartbreak, and a whole lotta grit. Some of my fantasy picks crushed it, others… well, let’s just say they’ll be on probation next week.

Fantasy NASCAR Picks: My Lineup for the 2025 Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington

Hey race fans, it’s playoff time! The regular season is behind us, the intensity is cranked up to eleven, and we’re heading into one of the toughest, trickiest, and tire-chewingest tracks on the schedule, Darlington.

They don’t call it “Too Tough to Tame” for nothing. One lap you’re dancing with the wall, the next, you’re sliding backward wondering where your right rear went.

I couldn’t be more excited to get my fantasy roster locked in for the 2025 Cook Out Southern 500.

As always, I’ve got my main guy Tyler Reddick locked and loaded, and I’ve built my top 12 picks and dark horse lineup with playoff grit, Darlington dominance, and fantasy points in mind. So let’s dive in!

Fantasy NASCAR Picks for the 2025 Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway

Fantasy-NASCAR-Picks-for-the-2025-Cook-Out-400-at-Richmond-Raceway.png

We’ve shaken off the road course hangover from Watkins Glen and now we’re sliding into the heart of short track country… Richmond Raceway to run race #25 the  Cook Out 400.

This 0.75 mile D-shaped bullring is part short track, part tire management chess match, and part high speed fist fight.

It’s abrasive enough to chew up tires faster than a kid tears through a Halloween haul, but still rewards patience, throttle control, and pit strategy wizardry. Richmond is where smart beats reckless and the long game wins the day.

Now let’s get into this weeks picks
