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.

Fantasy NASCAR Picks for the 2025 Via México 250: My Top Picks, Underdogs & Strategy for Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez

Hey there, race fans! Bryan here—and you know what time it is. We’re swapping the ovals for the twists and turns of Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City this Sunday, June 15th, for the Via México 250.

This place boasts blind corners, bumpy elevation changes, and a stadium section louder than a mariachi band—so buckle up, amigos!

I’ve got Reddick locked in as my main guy, plus two bona fide road-course savants from the top 12. Then I’ll roll out three under-the-radar picks (13+) who thrive when the track screams “Left… then right… then STOP!” Let’s dive in.

Fantasy NASCAR Picks for the 2025 FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan: Best Bets, Sleepers & Strategy

Hey everyone, Bryan here!

We’re heading to the wide, high-speed straights of Michigan International Speedway this weekend for the FireKeepers Casino 400, and you know the drill by now—it’s time to lock in those fantasy picks. Michigan is all about horsepower, clean air, and long green-flag runs, so drivers who can manage speed and strategy on this two-mile oval tend to shine. It’s one of those races where momentum meets muscle, and there are a few names you definitely don’t want to leave off your roster.

Let’s dive into who’s hot, who’s due, and who could surprise us on Sunday!
