Underdog NASCAR Fantasy Picks: All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway
Christopher Bell Higher Than 6.5
It’s been a rough patch lately for the driver of the #20 Joe Gibbs Racing car. Only one finish better than 13th place over the last six races has this team searching for answers. Well, the answer may be a short flat track. Enter North Wilkesboro.
This is the type of track Bell thrives on. There’s no perfect comparison track to Wilkesboro, but on this style, Bell finished sixth at Richmond at the end of March. He also won at Phoenix, leading 50 laps that day. Bell has been known to dominate tracks like New Hampshire as well. I think it’s a good week to ring the (Christopher) Bell.
Chris Buescher Higher Than 10.5
The last two weeks have been heartbreaking for Chris Buescher. He wrecked while battling for the win at Darlington and was on the wrong side of the closest finish in NASCAR history the week before at Kansas.
With the momentum and speed they’ve found at RFK Racing, I expect Buescher to show up this week. Buescher was fired up last week, getting out of his car and shoving Tyler Reddick. Even though this isn’t a points race, I expect him to come out with a point to prove. Buescher showed up on short tracks earlier this season, finishing second at Phoenix, ninth at Richmond, and seventh at Bristol. I’ll continue to ride this hot train.
Martin Truex Jr Higher Than 8.5
Much like his teammate Christopher Bell, Martin Truex thrives on short flat tracks. Truex finished seventh at Phoenix while leading 55 laps on the day. At Richmond, Truex dominated the day, leading 228 laps and finishing fourth.
At Bristol, Truex scored another seventh-place finish. Last season, Truex led 254 laps at New Hampshire while cruising to the victory, he also scored finishes better than 8.5 at Phoenix and Richmond. Truex also finished top four at Dover and Kansas, and was fast at Darlington before getting damaged in a wreck.
Joey Logano Lower Than 7.5
Joey Logano is a bit of an interesting case. He’s actually run not too bad on short tracks this season. So, I’m going to make a bit of a counterargument here, but Joey is just hard to trust from what we’ve seen in 2024 thus far.
His only two finishes on the season better than 7.5 came on short tracks in Richmond and Martinsville. However, outside of that, Logano just hasn’t been good. When compared to someone like Truex, who’s set at 8.5, this line makes no sense, and I’ll fade Logano.
Kyle Larson Higher Than 6.5
I made this point on the NASCAR Gambling Podcast this week, and the point remains. Kyle Larson is being disrespected this week. Larson is the best race car driver in the world right now and dominated this race last season.
Now we know Larson won’t make qualifying or the heat races, so he’ll have to start in the back—near where he started last season in this race before dominating and winning it. For this NASCAR fantasy play on Underdog, all he had to do was finish inside the top six. Sign me up.
