NASCAR unofficially kicks off the 2023 season at the L.A. Coliseum, and C.J. Radune recommends waiting for the field to be set to make picks, but he has high hopes for Christopher Bell.

Fantasy players looking to ride momentum might gravitate toward Christopher Bell in the Series Championship, as he has proven multiple times this year he can win when the chips are down.

C.J. Radune writes that the championship contender with arguably the most momentum heading into the championship weekend is Noah Gragson.

Zane Smith will race for the season championship Friday at Phoenix where he has finishes of second and fifth in his two prior races there.

Justin Allgaier has an impressive record at Martinsville with two top-fives and three top-10s from four series starts.

With five wins at Martinsville, Denny Hamlin remains in good position to make another final four appearance.

Denny Hamlin's three prior Homestead wins make him a top choice at the speedway, as three playoff spots remain to be clinched over the next two races.

One of C.J. Radune's top choices Saturday is Austin Hill, whose two victories this season have him firmly among the Xfinity Series championship contenders.

Points leader Chandler Smith just needs a good race at Homestead to be among the final four championship contenders in the season finale at Phoenix.

Despite not being at the top of the standings for this round, Denny Hamlin is making a strong case to be a championship favorite and therefore leads C.J. Radune's lower-risk lineup.

Noah Gragson leads the series in wins and enters this final round of elimination races in the top position.

AJ Allmendinger and Ty Gibbs are the top plays for Dane Shinault Saturday, as they have a lot of upside on a track type on which they have combined for eight wins in the last 12 races.

Coming off the big win at Talladega last week, Chase Elliott appears to be in great position to race with very little pressure and have fun.

According to Mark Taylor, Kyle Busch, who's had an excellent season racing on superspeedways, should once again be considered the centerpiece around whom to build a fantasy lineup.

Dane Shinault acknowledges that when you're hot, you're hot; therefore Noah Gragson kicks off our DFS picks for the week, going for his fifth win in a row.

Dana Shinault notes that it's always good to rely on experience in superspeedway racing, and therefore this week's selections start with Parker Kligerman.

C.J. Radune offers a low-risk and a high-risk lineup for NASCAR AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500, with Martin Truex Jr. looking like an appealing risky pick.
