Here's the Fantasy NASCAR breakdown for Ticket Guardian500 at ISM Raceway. Stephen Young from Rotogrinders previews the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series race at Phoenix and spotlights 3 drivers to consider when building your DFS lineups in DraftKings and FanDuel.

Kevin Harvick – 11 straight top 6 finishes, including 6 wins. 2 wins in 7 races on flat-banked tracks, and an average finish of 4.1 in those 7 races. Second highest driver rating at flat banked tracks in 2018. 

Chase Elliott – Average finish of 9.5 in 6 career races here. Over 100 driver rating in each of those six races. He's led laps in 3 of the last 4 races here. 4th highest driver rating on flat-banked tracks in 2018. 

William Byron – Byron finished 9th and 12th in his first two career races at ISM Raceway in the Cup Series in 2018. He had 6 top 20 finishes in the 7 races on flat-banked tracks last season.

Martin Truex Jr. has a 126.6 driver rating here over the last three races, which is 19.4 points higher than the second best driver. He won this race in 2018, and has led 198 of 402 laps in the last two races. He’s finished 2nd in two of the last three races this season.

Kyle Larson has finished 2nd or better in three of five career races here. He’s been really good in his career on these 2-mile tracks, and has four top five finishes in the last six races on them. Larson was really fast in Atlanta, and I’m expecting him to show good speed yet again this weekend. 

Matt DiBenedetto is the cheap guy I’m liking heading into this weekend’s race. He had a really good run going last weekend, and late race trouble could lower his ownership for this race. I expect this package to pack these cars closer together, and I could see MDB having a good finish this weekend.

As the father and son walked back to the parking lot after an amazing experience at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon, April 1, 1979, the nine-year-old first-time NASCAR fan, still trying to process all the action that had unfolded to him in a whirlwind of colorful sights and loud sounds, quizzed his father.

“Did your favorite driver win today?” the son asked his dad, who was proudly covered from head to toe in green and white No. 88 Darrell Waltrip gear.

“Naw, he didn’t. He had a chance, but finished third,” the father said, dejectedly.

“Well, who was the winner of the race?” the youngster shot back, still trying to piece it all together.

“Ahhh, it was some rookie named Earnhardt,” the dad said in frustration.

Little did the pair know – or really anyone who attended the Southeastern 500 that day – that the race was actually the official launching pad for a driver who would become one of the most dominant, revered and greatest champions in Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series history.

The rookie winner that day at Bristol, 28-year-old Dale Earnhardt from Kannapolis, N.C., was a second-generation driver who was able to build his own cars, had cut his teeth on Carolina dirt tracks and was following in the tire tracks of his famous racing father Ralph Earnhardt. That maiden victory led to a championship title the very next season and a hall of fame career that produced 76 wins, including a total of nine BMS trophies, and seven Cup Series championships.

Bristol Motor Speedway officials will celebrate that monumental moment in NASCAR history during the upcoming Food City 500 weekend, April 5-7, the 40th anniversary of Earnhardt’s first Cup Series victory.
