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
(Starting position in parenthesis)
Drivers in BOLD are potential dominators
Championship 4 drivers in GREEN

***Synopsis***
This is the last race of the 2023 NASCAR season, which means a champion will be crowned. I am picking Kyle Larson to win the race and the title, but Byron will be the highest-scoring driver. I plan to play them together in as many lineups as possible on Sunday. It will be difficult, but there is some decent value in this race to make it feasible.
On a personal note, thank you for riding with me this season. I know it wasn’t a great year, so I appreciate anyone who played most or all of the season with us. I don’t know what, if anything, the future holds me in the industry so I just wanted to thank everyone for the interactions and fun while doing this. Enjoy the offseason and the holiday season!
