Each week I’ll continue to share my expert NASCAR advice right here on 5th Down Fantasy—until April 1st, that is. After that, you’ll need to hit up my podcast for the picks. Holly’s Racing Fantasy podcast is available on Spotify, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, Apple, and more! You can also grab my NASCAR fantasy picks on my YouTube channel,Holly’s Racing Fantasy. Thanks for following!
And now, here are my Brilliant, Bold, and Bonkers picks for the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway.
Brilliant Picks for NASCAR Fantasy – These expert fantasy picks for NASCAR have the best shot at a win this weekend!
Martin Truex Jr.
You have to go about six years back to find a time when Martin Truex Jr. finished outside of the top-eleven in Richmond. He’s as solid here as they come, and he could really use an easter miracle this Sunday. Chances are good that he’ll get it.
Wins in Richmond: 3
Top Five Finishes here: 9
Top Ten Finishes here: 17
Denny Hamlin
This Virginia native grew up on these tracks and he knows how to navigate them like a pro. Like his old teammate Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin’s numbers here are sick. I think that Toyotas will run well and possibly give Denny win number two this weekend.
Wins in Richmond: 4
Top Five Finishes here: 18
Top Ten Finishes here: 22
Christopher Bell
Last week at COTA, Christopher Bell was boiling hot! I think he takes that heat into Richmond for a trip to Victory Lane. He has yet to win here, but his numbers are impressive, despite his misfortune last July. Consider the number 20 when you set your NASCAR fantasy lineup on Sunday
Wins in Richmond: 0

Top Ten Finishes here: 5
Bold NASCAR Expert Picks – Here is my NASCAR fantasy advice on this week’s sleeper pick, also known as the gutsy choice for a win.
Kyle Busch
The only reason that Kyle Busch isn’t on the Brilliant list this week is due to his numerous mishaps on the track in recent weeks. If there’s ever a time where he can get back at it, it’s now. Maybe he wins and maybe he doesn’t, but if history repeats itself, Kyle Bush is probably going to finish with a single digit to his credit.
Wins in Richmond: 6
Top Five Finishes here: 19
Top Ten Finishes here: 28
Joey Logano
Joey Logano has fallen off the radar this season, but I think that he’ll shoot back up in Richmond. This is an Old School track, and the good old boys are the ones here to defend it. He might not win, but I think that the number 22 will have a good showing
Wins in Richmond: 2
Top Five Finishes here: 13
Top Ten Finishes here: 18
Bubba Wallace
I went with the person who I think is the obvious long-shot pick here. Like, I don’t know why, but maybe Bubba comes back in Richmond? He led 80 laps the last time he was here and finished well in all three stages. Hold your breath, take a plunge, and pick the number 23 if you’re going for the sleeper!

Bonkers NASCAR Fantasy Picks – Take a pass on these drivers for this week’s NASCAR Cup Series race.
Austin Dillon
Austin Dillon is not having a super season, so I think this cool trend will play heavily into his Richmond race. Take a pass on the number 3 this week.
Wins in Richmond: 0
Top Five Finishes here: 0
Top Ten Finishes here: 3
Ryan Preece
Yes, he finished 5th here last summer, but I think that he won’t do as well this time around. Hold off on this SHR driver until later in the spring.
Wins in Richmond: 0
Top Five Finishes here: 1
Top Ten Finishes here: 1
Tyler Reddick
I can’t say that Tyler Reddick is the best pick for Richmond. There seems to be a bit of a disconnect here right now, and I think it needs to work itself out before he gets a nod for fantasy.
