Who is a wiser up pick for Fontana, Kyle Busch or Paul Menard?

By @GucciardoJoey

This weekend, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to Fontana for the final race of the 2016 "West Coast Swing."

Auto Club Speedway (which is located in Fontana) cabn be rough to make Sprint Cup fantasy team picks because it is an intermediate track where tons of drivers like Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin, and Jimmie Johnson, and many others perform well at.

But when it comes to average finish at the track since 2014, Kyle Busch has the best one with one of first place, even though he has only ran one race at the track since then because he missed the 2015 race at the track due to an injury. Kyle's older brother Kurt Busch is second with one of 3rd in two races at the track since 2014.

But when you keep track of who has the best average finish at all intermediate tracks on the Sprint Cup circuit since 2014, Paul Menard has the best average finish witgh one of 6.8. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is second with one of 7.0.

Paul Menard could be seen as a wise pick for this weekend because of the fact that he can run well at intermediate tracjks, but because Kyle usually runs more in contention in many races than Menard, and has won at Auto Club while Menard has not, Kyle Busch is more of a wise pick for Fontana than Menard.
