The biggest question for Sunday’s Can-Am 500(k) at Phoenix International Raceway is whether not we will have a new king of the hill. Kevin Harvick has been absolutely dominant at this track for the last few years, but it seems like the rest of the Sprint Cup field has started to close the gap quite a bit as of late. Still, can you really go against a guy that has won five of the last six races here (and finished 2nd in the other event)? He’s led at least 139 laps in each of the last five events here at Phoenix as well, and if that extends to six races in a row, DraftKings owners are looking at a huge day out of Kevin Harvick.

Lineup #1

This Lineup is hoping for a Kevin Harvick domination on Sunday, which allows us to solely focus on place differential FPTS from our other drivers–particularly Kyle Busch and Martin Truex, Jr. Danica Patrick might seem like a weird pick this weekend, but she actually runs well here at Phoenix and has finished 19th and 16th in the last two events here.

  6. Michael McDowell

Lineup #2

Our choice to de-throne Kevin Harvick here at Phoenix is Joey Logano. He has a great race car this weekend and could end up leading the most laps today. He also costs $400 less than Harvick so that allows us to get quite a few solid drivers in the mid-to-upper price range.

  4. Kurt Busch
  5. Aric Almirola
  6. Michael McDowell

Lineup #3

Martin Truex, Jr. is going to be on a whole bunch of lineups this weekend, which means if you fade him and he has issues, you could end up having a very good day. We’ve seen this #78 team have plenty of bad days this season, and they have yet to have a “clean” day here at Phoenix since unloading.

Lineup #4

It’s very possible that Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano combine to both lead a whole bunch of laps today. Therefore, it’d be smart to have a Lineup with both of them on it in order to capitalize on all of those FPTS.
