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.

(All pricing is for DK)
Lock:
Austin Cindric (36) – $7K
I’d presume Cindric is not going to win this race or even be a factor, but he should be one of the highest-scoring drivers at the race end. Cindric has finished top 20 in both of his starts at this track and his practice speed on Saturday was also top 20. I won’t say you MUST play Cindric, but he is cheap and could be one of the top DFS plays today.
Top Dominator Plays:
- Tyler Reddick (1) – $10.5K
- Christopher Bell (3) – $10.8K
- Kyle Larson (2) – $11K
- Denny Hamlin (4) – $9.8K
If you can make it work, I will recommend playing two of these drivers. Reddick and Larson are my favorites, but if you can’t find the extra $200 for Larson, Bell is a suitable pivot.
Place Differential Plays:
- William Byron (25) – $10.3K
- Ross Chastain (22) – $8.8K
- AJ Allmendinger (32) – $7.3K
- Ryan Blaney (20) – $10K
- Brad Keselowski (18) – $8.4K
- Chris Buescher (21) – $7.7K
GPP high upside options:
- Bubba Wallace (8) – $7.8K
- Alex Bowman (11) – $8K
- Ty Gibbs (14) – $8.2K
- Joey Logano (26) – $9.3K
- Noah Gragson (16) – $7.4K
Logano would be considered a good PD play if he had a reason to push himself. Logano won last week locking himself into the Championship race in Phoenix. Also, they had power steering issues on Saturday and if those arise again, they won’t hesitate to call it a day.
Value Plays:
- Todd Gilliland (31) – $5.8K
- John Hunter Nemechek (29) – $6K
- Harrison Burton (34) – $5.5K
- Austin Dillon (30) – $6.7K
- Ryan Preece (35) – $5.9K
- Erik Jones (28) – $6.6K
