NASCAR DFS Pit Stop Rankings Cup Series: Atlanta 2/23/25

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for the NASCAR Cup Series. In this article, I list my favorite plays in different categories to help you build your lineups for today’s race.

Top Priority Plays

• Denny Hamlin (37) – $9.1K: Everyone who knows NASCAR knows that Hamlin is one of the best to do it at superspeedways, but he hasn’t had much luck at Atlanta. Hamlin only has one top 10 at the new Atlanta and four finishes of 23rd or worse. With that being said, it’s hard not to love Hamlin on Sunday when you consider his starting position and price.
• Christopher Bell (32) – $8.2K: Similar to his teammate listed above Bell has not run exceptionally well at Atlanta. Bell does have two top 5’s here, but the rest of his run here has been 23rd or worse as well. But, like I said about Hamlin, it’s hard to ignore Bell’s starting spot and price.
• Daniel Suarez (29) – $8.1K: Unlike the two drivers listed above him, Suarez has the best track record at the new Atlanta. In six races here, Suarez has only finished lower than 6th one time (2023). In the other five races here, Suarez has finishes of 4th, 6th, 2nd, 1st, and 2nd. That is a pretty solid run from a driver who struggles pretty much everywhere else outside of road courses.
• Ty Gibbs (36) – $7.2K: It seems like all the Joe Gibbs Toyota’s had issues qualifying this weekend which in turn makes them all great plays for DFS. Gibbs has only run here four times in the Cup Series, but his track record is much better than his teammates. In his four races here, Gibbs has two top 10’s and a 17th-place finish. His one poor finish was a 34th place finish where he had damages and finished 35 laps down.
