Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop: Xfinity Series for the 2021 season! If you’ve been with us before then you know the drill, but if you are new the WinDaily Sports or to my NASCAR content, welcome! I break down the field each week and give you my favorite plays for each race in three different price categories.
Make sure to check out my NASCAR DFS Tutorial as well to make sure you are ready and have an understanding of how I break down the races and build lineups (https://windailysports.com/nascar-dfs-pit-stop-2021-introduction-to-nascar-dfs/). You will notice that all pricing is for DraftKings in these articles since they are the only site that has contests for all three series (Trucks, Xfinity, Cup) and is the site I mainly play on. All plays in the Cup Series article will translate to FanDuel if that is where you play.
This week we are in Sin City, which I have renamed Chalk City this week thanks to all the chalk plays this weekend especially in the Xfinity Series. Because of some poor finishes and one driver being disqualified after post race inspection we have some really quality drivers in great spots for huge place differential days. We also have some pretty good value tier drivers as well which will make playing the high priced guys easier.
NASCAR DFS: Dominators
Austin Cindric ($10,500) should be viewed as we did with Nemechek on Friday night. He will lead the most laps and most likely win this race. I want to paint him with the drivers listed below in this tier for dominator/place differential combos. Like I mentioned, there is some decent value in this race to make this type of build work.
Tyler Reddick ($11,600 – P40)
Noah Gragson ($11,300 – P34)
Justin Allgaier ($11,000 – P37)
I group these drivers together because they are all going to be the chalk of this tier, and this race. We were concerned going into last weeks race about what Reddick could get out of this car and he got all he could and then some. Reddick was disqualified post race, but luckily DraftKings doesn’t take that into account and pays out based of unofficial results.
Gragson and Allgaier are two of the top drivers in the Xfinity Series and will be competing for a title later this season but have started slowly this season. Gragson is a Vegas kid and ran well here last year running the second fasted green flag average as well as running 92% of laps in the top 15 and finished 4th. As for Allgaier, he led 63 laps and had 32 fastest laps before finishing 8th. I will most likely be trying to fit 2 of these drivers in each of my lineups along wit the next driver.
Harrison Burton ($9,900)
Starting Position: 22nd
Burton was one of the best drivers in the series last season at Las Vegas and I like his odds to have another great race here on Saturday. Unfortunately last season Burton did not have any dominator points but this week we don’t really need those to make value since he starts so far back in the field. In 2020 Burton was top 10 in green flag speed average in both Vegas races and finished 5th and 9th. Burton will be a contender for the win on Saturday and should have an easy time coming home top 10.
Other Options (in order of preference): Riley Herbst ($9,000), Ty Dillon ($10,200), Daniel Hemric ($9,200)
NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier
This weeks mid tier is not great. There are a couple of decent plays, but I would rather try and fit 3 top tier drivers in and use the value tier. I will give you a couple of plays I do like in this tier though.
Ryan Sieg ($8,200)
Starting Position: 11th
Ryan Sieg had two really good days at Vegas last season with two top 5 finishes. In the first Las Vegas race of the 2020 season Sieg came home in 3rd place, led one lap, and had 21 fastest laps after starting 32nd. Sieg followed that up in the fall with a 5th place finish and 10 laps led.
Jeb Burton ($7,800)
Starting Position: 5th
Burton has been one of the best and most consistent drivers in the Xfinity Series this season. Burton has a top 5 in each of the three races this season and will most likely be low owned on Saturday because of his limited place differential upside. With his price being as low as it is, Burton just needs to stay in the top 10 and he should be able to make value.
Other Options: Ryan Vargas ($7,100), Brett Moffitt ($8,400), Myatt Snider ($8,000), Jeffrey Earnhardt ($7,600)
