The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season continues on Sunday with the 2025 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix, the first road race of the NASCAR season. The green flag drops at 3:30 p.m. ET for the 95-lap race. Shane Van Gisbergen is the +450 co-favorite for NASCAR at COTA 2025, followed by Tyler Reddick at +450 and Kyle Larson at +750 in the latest 2025 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix odds. So should you use any of the favorites in NASCAR Fantasy lineups? The latest Austin weather forecast is calling for partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the 70s. Before locking in your NASCAR Fantasy rankings for the 2025 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, you NEED to see what Mike McClure has to say. 

McClure has won over $2 million in his career as a daily Fantasy pro, and his NASCAR Fantasy driver pool, projections and advice can help you score a big win on Sunday. 

McClure's model began the 2025 season by calling Chase Elliott's win in the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray for a +300 payout. Then at Daytona, it was also high on William Byron despite +2000 odds. The model also called its first victory of the 2024 season with Kyle Larson winning in Las Vegas for a 21-5 payout, then predicted Denny Hamlin's wins in Bristol at 5-1 and Richmond at 17-4.  

It impressively nailed five of Larson's wins during his historic season in 2021, too. All told, the model has nailed a whopping 19 winners since 2021 and hit nine in 2023 alone! Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks could have seen HUGE returns.

Now, he's turned his attention to the 2025 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas in Austin on Sunday and is revealing his top NASCAR Fantasy picks, lineups, and driver pool.

We can tell you one of McClure's top 2025 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix Fantasy picks is AJ Allmendinger, even though he's a longshot at 25-1. Another curveball: William Byron, one of the top betting favorites and this year's Daytona 500 winner, barely cracks the top 10 of McClure's Fantasy NASCAR rankings. Byron won this race last year, but ran into trouble in two of his other road course events. The 27-year-old finished 30th at Sonoma Raceway and 34th at Watkins Glen.

McClure is also targeting an undervalued driver set to return HUGE value for your NASCAR Fantasy lineups! This driver is in prime position to make a run at the checkered flag and comes at a price that won't break the bank.

So what are the top NASCAR Fantasy picks for the 2025 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix, and which value driver is a MUST-ROSTER? Join SportsLine right now to see DFS millionaire Mike McClure's NASCAR Fantasy rankings, picks, complete driver pool, and strategy for NASCAR at Austin!
