Fantasy NASCAR Picks for the 2025 Food City 500: My Top Picks, Underdogs & Strategy for Bristol

Hey there, race fans!
Bryan here—and you know what time it is. We’re rolling into Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend for the Food City 500, and it’s time to lock in those fantasy picks. If Darlington was all about finesse and tire strategy, Bristol is all about chaos, contact, and short-track swagger. This place is loud, fast, and unforgiving… and I absolutely love it.

We’re about a third of the way through the season now, and momentum is really starting to matter. Denny Hamlin is heating up, Kyle Larson is due for redemption, and we’ve got a few under-the-radar drivers who could be sneaky-good plays this week.

Let’s get into it. Here’s who I’m rolling with in my fantasy lineup for Bristol.

So, let’s walk through the top 15 drivers heading into the Food City 500 and see who’s worth locking into your lineup this Sunday.

Grab your notes, your favorite snack, and let’s break it down, fantasy-style.

Goodyear 400 at Darlington Wrap-Up: Hamlin Hustles to Victory in a Throwback Thriller

Hey there race fans!
Bryan here, back with your weekly NASCAR rundown—and oh man, Darlington did not disappoint! The Goodyear 400 gave us everything we’ve come to expect from the Lady in Black: wild restarts, long green-flag runs, tire management chaos, and a late-race twist that left jaws on the floor.

This race is one of my favorites every season—not just because of the throwback paint schemes (though those are always very cool), but because Darlington rewards true grit. If you survive here, you earn every inch of that finish. And for us fantasy junkies? It’s one of the most unpredictable weeks of the season… which, of course, makes it all the more fun.

So, let’s break it all down—who crushed it, who got crushed, and how my fantasy picks fared in the mayhem.
