NASCAR DFS Pit Stop Rankings Cup Series: Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas 9/29/24

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for the NASCAR Cup Series. Below you will find my rankings for the drivers in this race.

I am going to try something different for tonight’s race. Instead of the usual driver rankings list, I will give out four different categories of drivers and a little snippet breaking down how to play each group.

(Starting position in parenthesis)

(All pricing is for DK)

Lock:

Chase Elliott (38) – $10K

Elliott starts DFL after having to change his engine on Saturday. Like Heim on Friday night, if Elliott does what I expect him to do, you won’t have a chance without him in your lineups. I don’t think Elliott sees ownership over 85% like Heim did, but 40-50% is possible.

Dominators:

• Kyle Larson (11) – $11.5K
• Denny Hamlin (8) – $11K
• Christopher Bell (1) – $10.3K

GPP Dominator Options:

• Tyler Reddick (4) – $10.5K
• Ty Gibbs (2) – $9.2K

With only 267 laps you won’t necessarily need to roster more than 1 dominator. I will most likely have 2 dominators in my lineups, but I won’t force it.

Place Differential Plays:

Safe SE or Cash options:

• Brad Keselowski (26) – $8.3K
• Chris Buescher (25) – $8.5K
• Ross Chastain (20) – $7.8K
• Alex Bowman (12) – $8K
• Martin Truex Jr. (19) – $9.5K

GPP high upside options:

• William Byron (6) – $9.7K
• Bubba Wallace (13) – $9K
• Noah Gragson (24) – $7.2K
• Chase Briscoe (9) – $8.1K
• Carson Hocevar (14) – $6.6K

Value Plays:

• Todd Gilliland (33) – $6K
• Daniel Hemric (30) – $5.3K
• Ryan Preece (37) – $6.1K
• Justin Haley (23) – $6.4K
• Josh Berry (29) – $6.9K
• Ty Dillon (32) – $5.2K
