Should you continue to plug Kevin Harvick into every NASCAR fantasy lineup? Hopefully this will help you find the same success as the #4 car this Sunday.

NASCAR has come to the end of the 1.5-mile track road trip and the usual suspects will more than likely continue to fill your fantasy lineups.

Kevin Harvick is still dominating and is looking to continue doing so after two practice wins and a car that looks to be the fastest in the field once again.

But is his price too high to be worth it?

There are still plenty of drivers are out there to contend for top spots, and hopefully these lists will help you fill a lineup around Harvick or whoever you choose to chain yourself to.

Big Money Drivers:

  1. Kevin Harvick: $11,500
  2. Kyle Busch: $10,300
  3. Kyle Larson: $10,000
  4. Martin Truex Jr.: $10,800
  5. Joey Logano: $9,400

Bargain Drivers:

  1. Clint Bowyer: $8,000
  2. Kurt Busch: $8,600
  3. Austin Dillon: $7,400

  2. Daniel Suarez: $7,000

  4. Trevor Bayne: $5,800

Best Line-up:

  1. Kyle Busch: $10,300
  2. Kyle Larson: $10,000

  4. Kurt Busch: $8,600
  5. Austin Dillon: $7,400
  6. Chris Buescher: $5,700

Kyle Busch – It may be odd to not run Kevin Harvick as your top driver, but he’s too pricey and really handicaps you when trying to make a solid lineup. Busch has just as much of a chance to win on Sunday and is cheaper.

Kyle Larson – Larson won here last year and has been running well all weekend. Pairing him up with the other Kyle has a lot of potential.

Clint Bowyer – The second best Stewart-Haas Racing  driver has been Bowyer so far this weekend and I think he has a great shot at a top five finish.

Kurt Busch – Another Stewart-Haas Racing driver that has shown speed in practice and is still searching for a highlight finish this season is Busch. He seems to have his best chance so far this season this weekend.

Austin Dillon – Dillon has been running the fastest he has run since Daytona and would be a great addition toward the end of your lineup.

Chris Buescher – Buescher has been putting up fast numbers and has been the better of the two JTG Daugherty Racing drivers so far this season. He is the best cheap driver in the field on Sunday.
