Fantasy NASCAR Picks for the 2025 Autotrader EchoPark 400 at Dover

Best Drivers, Sleepers & Dark Horses for Fantasy Lineups at the Monster Mile

Hey friends, Bryan here. It’s race week at Dover Motor Speedway, better known as the Monster Mile. If you’re anything like me, you’re already itching to lock in your fantasy picks before the green flag waves.

Dover’s a one mile, high banked concrete beast that rewards smart tire management, qualifying position, and patience in traffic.

That makes it a perfect track to rack up stage points, if you’ve got the right roster. Let’s walk through my top three picks, some sneaky plays from outside the top 12, and my go-to dark horse for this week’s showdown.

Fantasy NASCAR Picks for the 2025 Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma: Top Road Warriors & Sleepers for Sonoma Strategy

Hey race fans, Bryan here, and we’ve made it to one of my favorite races on the calendar.

It’s Sonoma weekend, and you know what that means: it’s time to forget the high banks and straightaways and lean into some finesse, patience, and tire strategy. This is wine country, but we’re not here for a tasting we’re here to dominate our fantasy pools and score big on one of the most technically demanding tracks of the season.

Sonoma isn’t about raw horsepower. It’s about rhythm, brake control, and knowing when to hit the gas and when to just… breathe.

With elevation changes, hairpins, and those sneaky off camber corners, the best drivers this week are the ones who treat the track like a puzzle instead of a drag race.

And yes, I’m still rolling with my man Tyler Reddick, he’s my locked in pick every week.

So let’s build the rest of this roster the right way: two from the top 12 and three from the outside looking in. I’ve got the stats, I’ve got the momentum, and I’ve got a gut feeling about a few of these picks. Let’s get into this week’s race picks for .

Fantasy NASCAR Picks for the 2025 Grant Park 165: Elite Road Drivers, Sleepers & Full-On Chicago Strategy

This Sunday’s Grant Park 165 is the only street race on the Cup Series calendar — and you know what that means: time to shake up your picks. Strategy? Crucial. Track position? Essential. Ability to survive a demolition derby dressed up as a race? Mandatory.

If you’re chasing points in your pool, this is your opportunity to outwit the field with a roster built on street-course swagger and risk-reward potential.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the beautiful, chaotic madness that is NASCAR racing through the heart of downtown Chicago.

That’s right — it’s street course weekend, baby. Concrete canyons, 90-degree corners, and zero forgiveness. One bad braking point, and your fantasy dreams might just be pancaked against a barricade.

Let’s dive into this week’s top picks.

Fantasy NASCAR Picks for the 2025 Quaker State 400 at Atlanta: My Top Picks, Underdogs & Drafting Strategy for Superspeedway Chaos

Hey there race fans, Bryan here—and buckle up because we’re heading back to one of the most unpredictable, high-octane tracks on the Cup Series schedule: Atlanta Motor Speedway. Or, as I like to call it, Daytona’s sneaky twin that drank an energy drink and forgot it’s a mile shorter.

This weekend’s Quaker State 400 is shaping up to be another pack-racing pressure cooker with three-wide chaos, tandem pushes, and one big ol’ wreck waiting to ruin someone’s fantasy hopes. But don’t worry—I’ve built a lineup that can not only survive the draft but score big stage points and maybe even sniff victory lane.

Let’s dive into who’s locked in, who’s hot, and who could shock the field.

Fantasy NASCAR Picks for the 2025 Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono: My Top Picks, Underdogs & Strategy for The Tricky Triangle

Hey race fans, it’s Bryan back with another week of fantasy fun, this time we’re heading to one of the weirdest, wackiest, and most frustrating tracks on the schedule: Pocono Raceway, affectionately (and sometimes angrily) known as “The Tricky Triangle“, to run race #17, The Great American Getaway 400

With its three totally different turns, long flat straights, and track position chess games, Pocono is a place where strategy meets skill and more than a few fantasy lineups have been wrecked in Turn 3.

But fear not, I’ve dug through the data, scoured the stage points, and even dusted off some NextGen driver ratings to bring you my picks to climb the leaderboard this Sunday.

Let’s get into it.
