NASCAR: Fantasy picks for the 2018 TicketGuardian 500 at Phoenix

At ISM Raceway, the same old same old is going to be in place in the NASCAR Cup Series as Kevin Harvick should continue his warpath to a legendary season.

NASCAR fantasy has been easy for anyone with a Kevin Harvick-centric lineup, and here at ISM Raceway in Avondale, Arizona, it’ll be no different as he looks to keep the streak going.

It’d be wise to have Harvick in all lineups one again.

Plenty of common names can be built around Harvick, though. The key this week is finding those middle of the pack guys that will be competing in the top 10. Because Harvick is commanding one of steepest prices you can get on DraftKings right now, it leaves you with little wiggle room.

Big Money Drivers:

Kevin Harvick: $11,400

Kyle Larson: $10,300

Kyle Busch: $10,500

Best Lineup:

Kevin Harvick: $11,900

Harvick: I don’t want to be lazy, but do I really need to go in-depth here? He has won eight times here in his career and has already won twice this season. He is a no-brainer pick.

Elliott: Harvick’s steep price makes it difficult to pile together the big-name veterans, but Elliott is running well this weekend and this is looking like his best chance to win so far this season.

Jones: Like Elliott, it is looking like this is Jones’ best opportunity for his first win this season. He had great finishes last year at Phoenix and Joe Gibbs Racing won here with Matt Kenseth back in November.
