NASCAR Fantasy Picks for Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500

Joey Logano took home the checkered flag in the Food City Dirt Race. Now, the NASCAR world turns its attention toward the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at the Martinsville Speedway.

With Saturday's next NASCAR Cup Series race rapidly approaching with a 7:30 p.m. EST start time, let's take a look at some drivers to consider when building your fantasy lineup to win the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500.

Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 Fantasy Picks

*Note: All career results rankings are among active drivers in this weekend's Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 with three or more appearances at the Martinsville Speedway track unless otherwise noted.

Denny Hamlin Fantasy

Target Denny Hamlin: Denny Hamlin has been an absolute monster at Martinsville Speedway. He boasts five wins in 30 career appearances here, which translates to a 16.67% winning percentage. That's tops among all active drivers here. He also has finished in the top-five in 50.0% of his appearances here, and has a top-10 finish in 70.0% of his appearances. Look for Hamlin to keep rolling on Saturday.

Kyle Busch Fantasy

Target Kyle Busch: The only active driver with more top-5 finishes here than Hamlin is Kyle Busch, who owns 16. That translates to a 51.61% top-five finish rate, which is also the best mark among active drivers at Martinsville. He looks to be a safe play on Saturday night.

Joey Logano Fantasy

Target Joey Logano: Joey Logano hasn't been quite as productive here as the other two names on this list, but he's red hot right now. He won his most recent race, and has a top-10 finish in three of his last four appearances, never finishing below 15th in that time. And it's not like he's been bad at Martinsville Speedway –– far from it. Logano owns eight top-five finishes in his 24 appearances here, finishing in the top 20 in 19 of those 24. He looks like a safe option, and his recent dominance gives him a high ceiling this weekend.
