Typically, NASCAR's prerace driver rating can help provide some insight into your fantasy picks that you may not have realized otherwise.
At Pocono, though, it's pretty obvious.
Denny Hamlin is by far the best choice. Kurt Busch isn't bad either. And you probably can't go wrong with Jimmie Johnson.
Here's the driver rating anyway, in case you have a deeper fantasy league or driver pool at home.
