Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for the NASCAR Cup Series. Below you will find my rankings for the drivers in this race.
A Group: Drivers I will have the most exposure to and are high-priority
B Group: This group is drivers I feel have a high upside and are great filler pieces to pair with the A Group
C Group: The drivers in this tier are risky but could still be optimal. This group should be used in GPP’s
F Group: These drivers are on my do not play list

DFS NASCAR – Driver Notes
- There are no real driver notes today as I am not feeling 100%. I will however tell you how I suggest building for today. You need two dominators for this race, my favorites are Hamlin and Bell. There are 312 laps in Sunday’s race, so we could have 2 drivers lead over 100 laps. We will need those points to have a good day. After locking in your two dominators, look for some high upside/PD plays. Lajoie and Cindric will be chalky, so in SE and cash games, they need to be in your lineups. For GPP’s, I would look to lower-owned drivers like Bowman, Wallace, and Preece for the PD upside. Gilliland wasn’t as fast as McDowell in practice but if they can get the car as fast as his teammate a top 20 is in the cards making him a decent upside play for tournaments.

Denny Hamlin is my favorite to win, but his odds aren’t great, but you can definitely throw a few bucks on him on your preferred site.
