NASCAR: Fantasy picks for 2018 Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas
Heading to Sin City, all fantasy players will take a chance on NASCAR’s top talent to see who can bring home the money this week in Las Vegas.
Right after racing on a similar track in Atlanta, expect the strong NASCAR Cup Series finishers from last week to transfer to the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada.
While that makes picking drivers easy, it also means everyone else will have just as easy of a time as you. The goal at a track like this is finding those mid-tier guys who will have great performances and possibly challenge for the win.
It’s the track made for gambling and DraftKings is the best way to earn your money, so who are the drivers you should set in your lineups?

Busch: After winning the Truck Series race and running in his hometown, Busch is a must have in any line-up. Assuming there are no accidents, he’ll finish in the top 5.
Larson: Larson has dominated the weekend so far and his car seems to be the one to beat. To be able to add him under $10,000 is a steal.

Jones: Jones has been running well and poised for a breakout at any moment on these 1.5-mile tracks. You could also interchange he and Suarez.
Bowyer: Coming off a great finish at Atlanta and with strong performances taking place all around at Stewart-Haas Racing, momentum could be key for Bowyer.
Menard: Running well in all practices and qualifying 12th, Menard could be a top 10 driver on Sunday and the key to winning some cash.
Kahne: At only $6,200 and someone who always runs well at Las Vegas, Kahne is a great driver to place at the end of your lineup. He could pull off an upset win, but he should be at least a lock for the top 20.
