Top Options

Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, and Christoper Bell are this weekend’s top fantasy options. Team Penske is one of the best teams at Phoenix. The teammates have combined to lead 30% of laps at Phoenix since 2022. The No. 12 car has an average finish of 2.8 at Phoenix in the last six races but has yet to win; he could change that on Sunday. 

Bell has won the last two races and is favored to make it three in a row at Phoenix. He is also a good intermediate track driver and has a win, two top fives, and four top 10s at Phoenix. 

Other Good Picks

Chase Briscoe is a good pick for this weekend. In his last six races there, he has an average finish of 12.3 with a win, two top fives, and four top 10s. The No. 19 driver is very good at intermediates and could be a top driver at mile tracks with better Joe Gibbs equipment. 

Users should also consider Denny Hamlin this weekend. The veteran has an average finish of 12.3 at Phoenix since 2022 but has not finished in the top five in that stretch. Hamlin is a risky pick this weekend, but he could be worth it. 

With three top-fives and six top-10s, Trackhouse Racing is the best team at Phoenix. 23XI is behind them with just one less top-five finish. 

Sprinkle in RFK drivers as well. They have an average finish of 14.3 at Phoenix. Chris Buescher has an average finish of 11.4 at intermediates, and Ryan Preece could see an improvement on the mile track with RFK. 

Featured Matchups

Joey Logano vs Ryan Blaney

Users cannot go wrong with either driver; however, Blaney has looked better this season. Go with the No. 12. 

Ross Chastain vs Chase Elliott

Both are good drivers at intermediates. Trackhouse has an advantage at this track, so go with Chastain. 

Christopher Bell vs Kyle Larson

Bell is on a hot streak right now. He will finish higher than the No. 5. 

Kyle Busch vs Denny Hamlin

Busch has come out strong this season, while Hamlin has not. Look for the No. 11 to get going this weekend.
