Top NASCAR Pick6 Picks for the Dollar Tree 301
Christopher Bell | Finishing Position: 4.5
Pick6 Pick: Better
Don’t look at Bell’s lap averages in practice. Don’t look at the lap-by-lap data. It doesn’t paint a better picture. The reality is the picture doesn’t matter. It’s practice. Races are different. Bell knows when to go. His “slow” car qualified sixth. JGR knows the short-track package. The Toyotas have dominated New Hampshire. Bell has led that domination with two wins in the last four races at New Hampshire. In the O’Reilly Series, he’s won all four of his races at this flat, short track.
Tyler Reddick | Fantasy Points: 50.5
Pick6 Pick: More
This is interesting. DraftKings is not offering a Pick6 finishing position for the pole sitter. Reddick has historically struggled at flat, short tracks. A narrative is being pushed in the media. Reddick was the favorite to win the 2026 Cup Series Championship. He now sits in fourth place — 138 points behind leader Denny Hamlin. What’s wrong with Reddick? Nothing.
It’s a long season. There are ups and downs. Depending on the schedule, slumps can be exacerbated. The summer schedule of random tracks and flat, short tracks may not play into Reddick’s strengths. He’s toast. Joey Logano was dusted a month ago. The schedule shifted to his strengths. He rebounded. The narrative changed. The Reddick narrative can change for Reddick.
Does anyone believe that Reddick will always struggle in New Hampshire? Toyota builds the best Gen-7 short-track stock cars. Reddick — a two-time O’Reilly Series Champion — has as much talent as any driver. Regardless of history, Reddick is on the pole at a short track where passing is difficult. The 23XI Racing No. 45 Toyota should pile up fast-lap and lap-led points early in the race. His starting position and pit crew should ensure a top-10 finish. There will likely be negative place differential points, but finishing position points and hog points (fast-lap and lap-led points) should boost Reddick above his projected number.
