NASCARPremium NASCAR DFS Pit Stop: Cup Series from Darlington 9/6/20 Matt Vecchio 3 years ago written by Matt Vecchio Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Sunday evenings Cup series race from the "track too tough to tame", Darlington Raceway! This is the series' third race here this season so we should be able to get a good gauge on how these teams will run here on Sunday. This race should be a fun one to watch not only for the great racing but for the awesome throwback and special paint schemes. My personal favorite is the one my favorite driver is running, Jimmie Johnson, and his 7x champions tribute mixing both The King and The Intimidator together! NASCAR DFS: DominatorsDenny Hamlin ($11,400)Starting Position: 2ndHamlin is the highest priced driver, and for good reason. In 2 races at Darlington this season Hamlin has finished top 5 in both and including his win in the 2nd Darlington race this season. Hamlin also won at Homestead this year, the comparable track to Darlington. If all that wasn't enough, Hamlin raced, and should have won, the Xfinity race here on Saturday so he has a good handle on... 3 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
NASCARPremium NASCAR DFS Pit Stop: Cup Series from Michigan 8/9/20 Matt Vecchio 3 years ago written by Matt Vecchio Welcome to NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Sunday's Cup Series from Michigan. This article will have some similar plays from the Saturday race, obviously, but with how everything broke down we have some different plays based on place differential. Sunday's lineup was determined how Saturday's race finished. NASCAR set the top 20 starting position by inverting the finish, so Kevin Harvick will start 20th because he won, Keselowski starts 19th and so on. After the inversion the rest of the field is determined by how the field finished from 21st-39th. NASCAR DFS: DominatorsCopy, paste the opening paragraph from Saturday's article here. Both Kevin Harvick ($11,500) and Denny Hamlin ($11,100) are the top plays in this race Sunday. Harvick has incredible PD upside, especially after the way he dominated Saturday's race leading 92 of 156 laps. Hamlin ran up front with Harvick for the majority of the race, but ended up 6th and will start 15th on Sunday. Hamlin also has great place differential upside a... 3 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
NASCARDaily Fantasy SportsSports Betting NASCAR DRAFTKINGS DFS: Dixie Vodka 400 Chris Bouchard 3 years ago written by Chris Bouchard We move to Miami this week for the Dixie Vodka 400 at HOMESTEAD-MIAMI SPEEDWAY This is another 1.5 mile track that has been racing since 1995. Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch are the only active, multiple winners of this event with two each, but several drivers have tasted victory. Roush-Fenway Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing lead all owners with 7 wins each, and Ford leads manufactures with 8 wins as Toyota and Chevrolet each have 5.Once again we had no qualifying and the starting positions were drawn using owner’s points. I am really getting tired of this format as you can’t get a sense of a driver’s speed with out seeing them on the track. I still think caution is the best plan of attack until we get back to normal, but if your using max lineups, this is not as important.Starting Grid RulesDenny Hamlin is on the pole this week with Joey Logano also in the front row. The Starting Grid is again littered with dominators due to the qualifying rules. This made it hard to find value this week and you must have the 2 top dominators in your lineup to make real money.Starting Grid for the Dixie Vodka 400My top DFS plays at each price tier this week are listed below. I am currently at 20 lineups, but I most likely add a couple as the day goes along using the same core.

Start your line-up with Elliott.Kyle Busch – Busch has the ability to get back to the front (and capture fastest laps points on the way) but it will be a much tougher race. Given the penalties for Busch, look towards the additional options below to pair with Chase Elliott. Additional options: Austin Hill, Johnny Sauter, Brett MoffittCAPTURE THE UPSIDE | DraftKingsSpencer Boyd – Given Tanner Gray’s penalty and being moved to the back, Boyd becomes more attractive as a driver that provides place differential upside and salary relief.Additional options: Matt Crafton, Ross Chastain, Stewart Friesen, Todd Gilliland, Austin Wayne Self, Ty Majeski, Bryant Barnhill, Tate FoglemanFINDING VALUE | DraftKingsSheldon Creed – Creed starts 8th, offers minimal place differential upside, and is priced accordingly.Additional options: Grant Enfinger, Christian Eckes, Ben Rhodes, Zane Smith The Finding Value drivers have limited upside starting inside the top-ten and having limited dominator potential running against Busch and Elliott. Play at most two from this group and look towards the Frontrunners and Capture the Upside to complete your lineup.STARTING TOO HIGH | DraftKingsCory Roper, Codie Rohrbaugh, TJ Bell, and Tyler Ankrum offer minimal upside given their starting position.

NASCAR NASCAR | Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 DFS Picks Jacob Nelson 3 years ago written by Jacob Nelson Join us in the #nascar Discord channel to discuss your QuikTrip 500 DFS picks. The following is intended for FanDuel GPP purposes only. Follow Josh on Twitter at @dfs_noshame.THE SLATENASCAR Cup Series returns today with the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia.This race is 325-laps, or 500.5-miles, on this 1.54-mile track. The optimal lineup to begin race will be Joey Logano, Chase Elliott, Clint Bowyer, Aric Almirola, and Chris Buescher. THE PICKS | FanDuelCHASE ELLIOTT – Elliott starts on the pole today and has been one the strongest performing drivers recently. With a victory and four top-five finishes, Elliott offers salary relief from Harvick and Kyle Busch and appears to be in a better position to dominate this race. Starting on the pole does present risk of negative place differential though, so looking for laps led and top-five finish from Chase if he is going to be rostered.MARTIN TRUEX JR. – Truex had one of the better cars last time out at Atlanta. Starting 11th, Truex provides some place differential upside in comparison to the other top-twelve drivers and is $1,800 less than Harvick.KEVIN HARVICK – Harvick is the highest-priced driver on this slate and the favorite to win. Starting 9th, Harvick has positive place differential potential and the ability to lead laps in this race. Harvick should garner a considerable amount of ownership today.BRAD KESELOWSKI – Keselowski is coming off two recent victories and has six top-ten finishes this season. Starting 6th, Keselowski has the potential to lead laps and finish top-five in this race. JIMMIE JOHNSON – Johnson does not offer the same dominator potential as the other drivers listed above, but starting 15th, and projected to finish 9th, he has the positive place differential upside at a reduced salary. Johnson feels safer than many plays available today, but he’s not a requirement in every line.CHRISTOPHER BELL – Bell is starting 27th today, provides salary relief, and positive place differential upside. Be careful with punting on FanDuel, so outside of Custer and McDowell, avoid rostering any drivers below Bell.Additional options: Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Alex Bowman, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Ryan Blaney, Clint Bowyer, Aric Almirola, Tyler Reddick, Matt DiBenedetto, Cole Custer, Michael McDowell, Erik Jones, Chris Buescher, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. NON-LEAD LAPPERSNOTE: Be sure to roster drivers that finish on the lead lap.The following drivers have not finished on the lead lap during the 2020 Cup Series: Josh Bilicki, Garrett Smithley, BJ McLeod, Timmy Hill (with exception for the Supermarket Heroes 500), Joey Gase, Quinn Houff, JJ Yeley (with exception for the Fan Shield 500), Reed Sorenson, and Brennan Poole (with exception for the Daytona 500).Timmy Hill finished 19th at the Supermarket Heroes 500, but he does not provide sufficient upside due to the unlikeliness to achieve a top-ten or top-fifteen finish.SLATE ANALYSISLAST TIME OUT AT ATLANTAThe last time out at Atlanta, Brad Keselowski took the checkered flag, followed by Martin Truex Jr., Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, Kyle Busch, Erik Jones, Aric Almirola, Chris Buescher, and Daniel Suarez.

This half mile track has given me fits in DFS, but I have had a good run at picking the winners. This week will be very tricky on DrafKings as the pricing and starting lineup is very difficult and true to normal form. Brad Keselowski will be on the pole with Almirola at his side.

NASCAR Alsco 500 NASCAR DFS | DraftKings, FanDuel Jacob Nelson 3 years ago written by Jacob Nelson The following DraftKings and FanDuel Alsco 500 NASCAR DFS picks are intended for GPP purposes only. Click here to join us in the #nascar Discord channel now! Follow Josh on twitter at @dfs_noshame. THE SLATEThe 2020 Alsco Uniforms 500 is set to drop the green flag at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina tonight. This 500-kilometer (approximately 312-miles) race will consist of 208 laps. The stages will be 55-laps, 60-laps, and 93-laps. This race will be official after 104 laps. The race will be rescheduled for Thursday if rain prevents the race from occurring Wednesday night. FRONTRUNNERSNO. 19 – MARTIN TRUEX JR. (FD-$14,000; DK-$9,400; +450) – Truex is among the three favorites to take the checkered flag at this race. Truex offers some point differential upside starting 15th and has the speed and ability to win this race and capture laps led points; he finished 6th on Sunday, with 87-laps led and 56-fastest laps.NO. 9 – CHASE ELLIOTT (FD-$13,000; DK-$9,700; +500) – Chase was well-positioned to take the checkered flag this past Sunday when a late caution led to a second-place finish. Chase finished Sunday’s race with 38-laps led and 50-fastest laps, and took first place in last night’s Truck Series race, the North Carolina Education Lottery 200. ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: KYLE BUSCH (FD-$13,700; DK-$10,500; +625; starts 12th), KEVIN HARVICK (FD-$12,300; DK-$9,200; +900; starts 16), DENNY HAMLIN (FD-$12,000; DK-$11,200; +1400; starts 29), JOEY LOGANO (FD-$11,000; DK-$8,900; +1000; starts 8), BRAD KESELOWSKI (FD-$11,600; DK-$10,000; +1100, starts 20).NOTE: Be sure to include the race winner in your Alsco 500 NASCAR DFS lineup, and pass on rostering drivers that finish below their starting position. NO. 88 – ALEX BOWMAN (FD-$12,200; DK-$8,700; +600) – Bowman led an impressive 164-laps on Sunday, and recorded 52-fastest laps. Starting 12th, Bowman dominated much of the race only to finish 19th. Bowman has the speed and ability to win and dominate this race but faces increased negative place differential risk starting second. NO. 24 – WILLIAM BYRON (FD-$10,700; DK-$8,500; +1200) – Byron will be starting for the pole tonight after finishing 20th on Sunday with no laps led and 13-fastest laps. He is one of the best young drivers in the Cup Series but his high starting position increases the risk of a negative place differential.CAPTURE THE UPSIDENO. 48 – JIMMIE JOHNSON (FD-$11,200; DK-$12,300; +1000) – Jimmie Johnson finished second on Sunday but failed the post-race tech inspection. resulting in a disqualification. Therefore, he will be starting 40th this evening. With minimal down-side risk and significant positive place differential upside, Johnson should be found in many lineups tonight. Make sure to try at least one build without Jimmie just in case he takes an early exit. Jimmie’s last Cup Series win was in June 2017.NO. 14 – CLINT BOWYER (FD-$9,000; DK-$11,800; +6600) – Bowyer crashed hard into the wall Sunday, and therefore, will be starting 39th. Bowyer offers significant positive place differential upside and should garner ownership on both FanDuel and DraftKings. Consider getting at least one build without Bowyer just in case he decides to take another hard right turn. ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: MATT KENSETH (FD-$7,600, DK-$8,100; +3500; starts 26th), BUBBA WALLACE (FD-$5,000; DK-$8,300; +55000; starts 38th).SECOND-TIER STUDSThe following drivers do not have the most attractive starting positions but do have the ability to move up during the race and provide value if they do so: RYAN NEWMAN (FD-$7,000; DK-$7,500; +12500; starts 27th), KURT BUSCH (FD-$10,000; DK-$9,000; +1800; starts 14th), ERIK JONES (FD-$9,500; DK-$7,800; +1500; starts 10th), RYAN BLANEY (FD-$10,400; DK-$7,800; +1500; starts 18th), and TYLER REDDICK (FD-$8,000; DK-$7,600; +3500; starts 13th).STARTING TOO HIGHThe following drivers may be starting a little too high and face risk of negative place differential: Reed Sorenson, Michael McDowell, John Hunter Nemechek, Cole Custer, Matt Benedetto, Austin Dillon (see note below), and Corey LaJoie. NOTE: Austin Dillon does have the potential to finish top-6 and have a strong performance. Starting 7th increases his risk of negative place differential though. NON-LEAD LAPPERSThe following drivers have not finished on the lead lap during the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season: Timmy Hill, Quin Houff, Gray Gaulding, Joey Gase, Josh Bilicki, and J.J. Yeley (with exception for the Fan Shield 500).NOTE: Avoid rostering drivers that will not finish on the lead lap.JMO’S DRAFTKINGS FAVORITESChase Elliott, Martin Truex Jr., Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth, Ryan Newman, Ryan Blaney, Erik Jones, Tyler Reddick, Bubba Wallace, Jimmie Johnson.JMO’S FANDUEL FAVORITESChase Elliott, Martin Truex Jr., Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth, Ryan Newman, Ryan Blaney, Erik Jones, Tyler Reddick, Jimmie Johnson.NOTE: All relevant updates related to these DraftKings and FanDuel Alsco 500 NASCAR DFS picks will be posted in the #nascar-research channel prior to lock.“CHANGE YOUR GAME AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE.” Check out windailysports.com for additional insight on NASCAR, MMA, eSports, golf, and more. 3 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
