Fantasy Nascar Pool
Hey NASCAR fans, Bryan here with an update on some pretty big penalty news shaking up the Cup Series garage. It’s been a wild couple of weeks—first with Chase Briscoe getting hit with a massive penalty after Daytona, only to see it totally overturned this week.
But then NASCAR turned around and dropped the hammer on Austin Cindric after COTA.
Let’s dive into the details because, honestly, this stuff is just too good not to talk about.
Hey NASCAR fans! Bryan here—time to gear up for another exciting weekend of racing. We’re heading to Phoenix Raceway for the Shriners Children’s 500, and after the wild twists and turns at COTA last week,
I’m ready for some classic short-track action.
Let’s dive right into my picks and see who’s going to shine this weekend in the Arizona sun.
Well, race fans, if you tuned in yesterday expecting a typical NASCAR Sunday drive…you quickly realized Circuit of the Americas (COTA) does not do typical!
Instead of your classic go-fast-and-turn-left format, we got treated to some first-class road course action, complete with hairpin turns, dramatic passes, and yes, the occasional spin-out that turned grown men into wide-eyed deer.
Let’s dive into how Christopher Bell took the checkers and the rest of the highlights from the NASCAR Cup Series party in Austin.
Alright, NASCAR fans—we’re heading to Texas! After the chaos at Atlanta, it’s time for a completely different challenge: the Circuit of The Americas (COTA).
This track is no joke—3.426 miles of pure road course madness, 20 turns, elevation changes, hard-braking zones, and high-speed straights. If you’re a driver who loves road courses, this is where you shine. If not? Well… good luck.
COTA rewards precision, patience, and aggressive but calculated driving. Picking the right drivers for a road course is completely different from a superspeedway, so I’ve done the research to give you the best fantasy lineup for this weekend.
Let’s get into it!
Hey there, NASCAR fans! Bryan here, back with another deep dive into the current NASCAR Cup Series standings. We’re only a few races into the 2025 season, but things are already heating up.
Between wild finishes, surprise performances, and early-season dominance, we’re starting to get a clearer picture of which drivers are legit championship contenders and who needs to step up their game before we get deeper into the season.
Now, we’re shifting gears toward the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas (COTA)—one of the most technical, demanding, and unpredictable tracks on the schedule. Unlike the pack racing we saw at Daytona and Atlanta, COTA requires a completely different skill set—it’s all about braking zones, corner exits, and road course mastery.
So, if you’re a driver who only thrives on superspeedways, this week is gonna feel like a pop quiz you didn’t study for. But if you’re one of those road course ringers who can handle left and right turns like a pro, you might be licking your chops right now.
That brings me to the real question: Which of the top 12 drivers are actually good on road courses? Spoiler alert: Some of these guys are about to be way out of their comfort zone.
With that in mind, I’m breaking down the top 12 drivers in the Cup Series standings, looking at how they got here, their strengths so far, and what we can expect from them at COTA.
