NASCAR

This article is going to be a little bit different, seeing as usually the qualifier race is held a day or two before the primary race. For the Coca-Cola 600, the qualifier is being held at 2 pm eastern time on the day of the actual race. With these particular circumstances, and not knowing the starting positions of the drivers, the possibility of drivers increasing or decreasing value is high. I recommend tuning into the Win Daily discord to stay up to date with the upcoming driver starting positions. My article is going to focus on my top three targets for both cash games and GPP’s. I will have a primary focus on DraftKings. Towards the end of the article, I will have a separate section for SuperDraft. The Coca-Cola 600 race starts at 6 pm eastern time, which gives us plenty of time to build a profitable NASCAR DFS lineup on multiple DFS sites.

#1 TARGET: MARTIN TRUEX JR (+550) (10,600).

Toyota cars have been crushing the Coca-Cola 600 the previous years. One of the fastest Toyotas has no doubt been the number 19 car of Truex JR. Even though he didn’t take down any part of the doubleheader at Darlington, he definitely made his presence known and bagged two top-ten finishes (6th and 10th). Charlotte Motor Speedway has been Martin Truex JR’s personal stomping ground. Finishing first and second the previous two years. In 2016 he showed that he’s here to dismantle the field with a victory and dominated 392 out of the 400 laps. Truex has a 50% win rate at Charlotte, yes I said 50%. Out of his last six races at Charlotte Motor Speedway he has claimed the crown three times, that is an unbelievable feat. Martin Truex JR is my clear cut, number one, overall play coming into this race, looking for his second win in a row and fourth first-place finish in seven years. He will be in over 50% of my NASCAR DFS lineups, and there should be no reason that he’s not in yours.

#2 TARGET: KYLE BUSCH (+450) (11,500).

We all just saw Kyle Busch fly through Darlington with his number 18 car to a second-place finish, but not without some drama. He is forever going to be known for his ” I made a mistake” moment that caused Chase Elliot’s car to be spun around and out of the race. It may be challenging to pick Busch for the win here, considering Elliot could be out for blood. Putting that all behind us and focusing on the facts here. Like Truex, Busch has been a dominating factor at Charlotte Motor Speedway. In the previous two years, KB has pumped out a third-place finish (2019) and a First place dominating performance (2018), where he led 377 out of 400 laps. If Kyle Busch can find his way around Truex and now Elliot, he could be added to the list of repeat winners at Charlotte Motor Speedway. I will be rolling out Kyle Busch in about 50% of my NASCAR DFS lineups.

#3 TARGET: JIMMIE JOHNSON (+1200) (9,200).

What more can we say about Jimmie Johnson except that he is well on his way, if not already legendary status? Over Johnsons Career, he has EIGHT wins at Charlotte Motor Speedway, with his most recent coming in 2016. He has been a force at Charlotte over the years, with an average starting position of 19.3 and an average finish position of 9.3. Looking at the potential for place differential and gaining a minimum of ten spots, he is another lock and load for my NASCAR DFS lineups.

HONORABLE MENTION:

KEVIN HARVICK (11,200)

CHASE ELLIOT (9700)

ALEX BOWMAN (9,400)

RICKY STENHOUSE JR (7400)

AUSTIN DILLON (7000)

COREY LAJOIE (5400)

SUPERDRAFT PICKS: IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE.

MARTIN TRUEX JR (1.2X)
KULE BUSCH (1.15X)
JIMMIE JOHNSON (1.5X)
COREY LAJOIE (2.1X)
AUSTIN DILLON (1.7X)
TYLER REDDICK (1.9X)
KEVIN HARVICK (1.2X)
CHASE ELLIOT (1.1X)
ALEX BOWMAN (1.35X)
RICKY STENHOUSE JR (1.4X)
ARIC ALMIROLA (1.45X)

I will be building 10 NASCAR DFS lineups for both DraftKings and SuperDraft. I recommend playing multiple lineups, if possible. The variance in NASCAR is high, and multiple lineups can help you fade some of that variance and give you a better chance to win big money. I am going to focus on my top three targets and try to fit as many of them in my lineups as possible. I will be using the honorable mention drivers to fill in the gaps with the available salary. On DraftKings, I will have a bigger player pool because of the salary cap. On SuperDraft, my player pool will be limited to ONLY my favorite drivers who I see having the best chance to hit value. Good Luck, and don’t forget to come back and Win Daily!

NASCAR DFS Picks for Toyota 500

Welcome back to a nation where NASCAR has grasped the attention of sports fans everywhere. In the midst of the sports void, NASCAR has drawn in DFS players from all formats looking for a taste of the action just to feed that fantasy itch. And for the DFS NASCAR aficionados that means money money money.  Here are the NASCAR DFS Picks for the Toyota 500.

      The series rolls back into Darlington just 3 days after Harvick took the checkered on Sunday. Don’t let Sundays race skew your build for Wednesday though as there are a few differences that can change a lot of how we see the race unfold.  First and foremost is that Wednesday will be run under the lights and the handling of cars will be completely different. The inversion of the lineup affects a lot too meaning that there are plenty of fades that were strong plays on Sunday. So let’s dive into Wednesdays plays and build some winners. 

Disclaimer: All salaries are according to DraftKings pricing.

DFS Picks for the Toyota 500

***TOP DOG***

*Alex Bowman 10,000. No car was faster at times than Alex Bowman and his price reflects that some. He was dominant at times and showed he had the equipment to pass cars when he needed to. The place differential will be huge for a legitimate contender for the win.

 *Joey Logano 9,400 This is incredible value for the hottest driver on the circuit prior to the layoff. Joey knows how to wheel around Darlington and has a starting position that could see him snatch the lead in the first handful of laps and hold it for a while.  

*Kevin Harvick 11,600. Its hard to keep the winner out of this grouping of drivers, especially when we are talking about Harvick. Mr consistent this season, he has shown that running inside the top 5 to 10 is as sure as a lock as anything in sports can be.  The starting spot allows for the place differential to get him a large chunk of his value and laps led to exceed value. He falls behind the other drivers a bit because of his salary but I will take him over the hefty price of Kyle here because of his consistency.  Something else that shoukdnt be overlooked is the chemistry he has with the same crew chief during all of his SHR tenure. After a layoff like this there is no price you can put on the value of that especially after so many big name drivers swapped crew chiefs going into the year ie: Logano, Keselowski, Truex, Blaney. 

*Martin Truex 11,100. Speaking of Truex, he showed quite the resiliency on Sunday to place that car into a position with the speed capable of winning. He has shown dominance here before and under the lights I like Truex as a lower owned option that is most certainly capable of winning.

To address Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin, those are strictly contrarian gpp plays for me as there is place differential to be had rolling off 26th and 16th respectively. However rostering a 12k driver really limits your balanced build and therefore limits your upside. 

Potential winners that should eclipse value.

*William Byron 8900. Chad Knaus has worked wonders for Byron and the confidence Willy B garnered from iRacing dominance has seemed to help to as he was the fastest car on the track for quite a bit on Sunday. The Hendrick Chevys all showed good speed and I like that to continue. Rolling off 32nd is a lock.

*Jimmie Johnson 9100. If not for crowding a little close to the 17, Johnson may have stayed in contention all day long on Sunday. Johnson is a Darlington master and is the ultimate free square starting 35th.  Another lock and load. 

*Erik Jones. 8500. Starting 13th, Jones is primed for a top 5 run on Wednesday. He has shown well at Darlington and should see that trend continue through Wednesdays race. This 9100-8500 tier is loaded. I’d play any of the 4 with confidence. 

*Kurt Busch. 8700. The one Busch brother I would play is Kurt. Kurt has a strong history at The Lady in Black too and showed us again on Wed that no matter where he starts, he will pass anyone on the way to running up front. Positive place differential is strong for him Wed too.

Line fillers to capture that $.

This is where the gpp winners separate themselves from the minimum cashers. Sunday saw the Reddick and Nemechek plays pay off well.

Tyler Reddick 7700 I will go back to the well with Reddick. He has been the rookie to own this year and showed an ability to pass quite a bit in Sundays race. While hes starting quite a bit higher than he did Sunday he should have no trouble clearing half of the cars ahead of him and maintain a top 10 run. 

Ricky Stenhouse 7900 and Chris Buescher 8100 These are both purely place differential plays. Neither will run top 10 but a place differential of close to 20 spots is worth a look at filling out your line. 

Matt Kenseth. 7600 How good is Matt Kenseth to be out of a stock car for a year and a half and with absolutely zero time behind the wheel come out and place top 10? Starting about where he did on Sunday he will have a chance to better that and I think he will. I look for Matt to ride around the top 5-8 and hit value easily. 

John Hunter Nemechek 6200  This is the cheapest driver I will play on Wed and while he is certainly starting a lot higher than I’d prefer, he earned that starting position by outrunning the likes of Logano and Bowyer to help dfs players like myself rake in thousands on Sunday. At his price if he runs top 15, I’ll take that.

There is no need to get top heavy for this race. The deep punts are not worth it. Salaries got jacked on some of the drivers and inexplicably fell on others. Take these DFS Picks for Toyota 500 and win some money!
Good luck race fans and see you at the top of the contests. Check out more NASCAR content over at Win Daily Sports and make sure to hop into our Free Expert Chat on Discord.

Finally we get back to some real NASCAR racing Sunday at Darlington Speedway. This starts a crazy good stretch of seven races is eleven days, but this comes with some negatives. There is no qualifying for this race and the starting grid was based off of owners points in 4 groupings, and a random draw. This will put the cream of the crop at front of the field and will make decisions on value plays critical.

The Real Heroes 400 Starting Grid

NASCAR has been racing at Darlington since 1950 on this 1.366 mile oval. Joe Gibbs (4 wins)(Jones, Truex Jr., Kyle Busch, and Hamlin on his current team) and Toyota (5 wins)(Joe Gibbs Team plus Bell, Suarez, and Hill) have dominated at this track the last 7 races. Only Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin have multiple wins at this track.

Brad Keselowski gained the pole followed by Alex Bowman in the first row. Harvick, Kyle Busch, Logano, and Hamlin are possible dominators in the top ten. I would be shocked if any drivers outside of the top ten make it into the top five without some major crash. My top three picks to possibly break the top five would be Elliott (11th), Byron (18th), and Jones (20th). I am not too thrilled with many outside of the top 20 to make up serious ground, but I would take Newman (21st), Kurt Busch (22nd), and Bell (28th) as my top three. I did have to throw in a few deep value plays just to get some diversity in my lineups, but other than McDowell (31st), T, Dillon (33rd), and Suarez (37th), I do not give many of them any hope to score decent DFS points.

The Real Heroes 400 Top 10 Starting Grid

My top DFS plays at each price tier this week are listed below. I am leaning on those who have had success at this track or I believe can be a dominator. Those qualifying at the rear will be avoided other than to add some diversity in case of any big crashes. My final Driver Usage will be posted on Twitter Sunday, but my top plays are below.

NASCAR DFS High-Priced | DraftKings | FanDuel |

  1. Denny Hamlin $11,100
  2. Joey Logano $10,100
  3. Kyle Busch $11,600

NASCAR DFS Mid-Tier | DraftKings | FanDuel |

  1. Erik Jones $9.200
  2. William Byron $8,700
  3. Kurt Busch $8,500

NASCAR DFS Value Plays | DraftKings | FanDuel |

  1. Ryan Newman $6,500
  2. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. $6,800
  3. Daniel Suarez $6,200

I also like 4 plays on DraftKings Sports Book to win the race. I am riding Denny Hamlin as my pick to win this week, but I do like 3 other value plays.

Shockingly, the world of sports, other than MMA and some Soccer, has shut down due to the Coronavirus. This is a good time to reflect and analyze what has worked in the past and tweak where needed to hit the ground running when everything returns. For NASCAR DFS, the preparation and execution of lineups with potential to WIN GPP’s is priority number one.

There are 3 approaches I use in NASCAR DFS depending on my confidence that week and the bankroll I am willing to put at risk. I love to attack the superspeedways like Talledega, Michigan, Pocono, and Daytona. I get very aggressive on these tracks and will throw in 150 plus lineups most weeks. Next for me are the 1.0-1.5 mile tracks, especially those that a dominator can crush. Finally, I tend to avoid very short tracks like Bristol or Martinsville and any road courses. These are just my personal preferences after analyzing years of results.

Win Daily Sports is committed to bringing its members and subscribers fresh content daily for as long as the professional sports leagues remain on hiatus. Our goal is to continue to focus on how to be better DFS and Sports Gamblers by teaching you how to do the little things better just like the pros. Sign up at this link and stay prepared!

Now that my home state of Michigan has opened sportsbooks, I will be playing many more WIN bets and hopefully “Top-5” and Driver Matchups depending on what is offered. This is where I excel. The Westgate Super Book in Las Vegas is where I have made most of my profit over the years betting 4 driver matchups that could also be parlayed. I can only hope Detroit will follow suit with some encouragement.

As for NASCAR DFS, my #1 look is always towards past performances at that track. If I can latch onto a Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, or Joey Logano who dominates a track, I will do so especially if they qualify near the top. I have no problem being 75% plus owned on a dominator. My next look is at the practice sessions. My thought the process is first done they have speed and second, can they maintain that speed over a number of laps.

I will put the practice session in the back of my mind as I watch qualifying. Obviously, if a potential dominator qualifies badly or is forced to the back for an issue, they instantly become chalk. You cannot avoid this. It just becomes a 5 player contest instead of 6 on DraftKings when this occurs. At times I have had the same 2 drivers in over 75% of my lineups if we have a situation with a dominator at the front and back of the starting grid.

Once qualifying has ended, I then rank the entire field based on potential and value. I personally like to create lineups by hand one at a time and check my driver usage along the way to make sure it matches my rankings. I can usually do this up to 40-50 lineups. If I am going for it that week, I will use an optimizer, entering my personal usage percentages from my ranking. While I do read a lot of articles during the week, especially from experts at the track that week, I am confident enough to override others’ opinions for my own. Many times, my driver usage is vastly different from what you will see in NASCAR GPP’s.

The key is to WIN a contest. Usually, you are splitting the top prize, but it can still pay off very well. Hitting the nuts or playing small field single or small MAX contests are the only way to make money. Diversity and aggressiveness have worked well for me, especially at the superspeedways.

The following NASCAR FanShield 500 analysis is intended for FanDuel GPP purposes. 

Editors Note: Joshua Moore makes his Win Daily Sports NASCAR debut today with his analysis of the FanShield 500!!

  1. FRONT RUNNER – DENNY HAMLIN (FD-$11,000)

Hamlin, in the Joe Gibbs FedEx Office Toyota, will be starting from the 3rd position. Hamlin won the last Cup Series race at Phoenix in November 2019; and will be in a strong position to capture laps led points and the checkered flag. 

PIVOTS: Kevin Harvick (FD-$12,500), Chase Elliott (FD-$11,000), Kyle Larson (FD-$10,300)

2. CAPTURE THE UPSIDE 

Find a NASCAR driver that will give you positive, place differential points. Consider rostering the following:

KYLE BUSCH (FD-$14,000) – Kyle is starting 10th and is the Vegas favorite to win the race.

JOEY LOGANO (FD-$11,200) – Logano is starting the 13th. Logano is fifth in line as the Vegas favorite, following Busch, Truex, Hamlin, and Harvick.

JIMMIE JOHNSON (FD-$10,000) – Johnson is starting 21st and this veteran driver should be able to finish within the top 15.

BRAD KESELOWSKI (FD-$11,500) – Keselowski is starting 14th, and currently has the same Vegas odds as his teammate Logano. 

RYAN BLANEY (FD-$11,000) – Blaney is starting 5th and also shares the same Vegas odds as Logano and Keselowski. Roster Blaney with caution though due to the high starting position.

WILLIAM BYRON (FD-$9,500) – Byron is starting 17th, but this NASCAR Hendrick Motorsports driver just may have the car and the skill to land a top 10 finish.

AUSTIN DILLON (FD-$7,600) – Dillon, the grandson of Richard Childress, qualified 30th, and therefore, offers a significant upside if he can find his way to a top ten NASCAR finish.

TYLER REDDICK (FD-$6,700) – Reddick, a teammate of Austin Dillon, qualified 29th. Reddick has an excellent history in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and looks to continue to excel in his rookie year as a Cup driver. 

3. DEEP PUNTS

Look towards a balanced build this week for the FanShield 500. Avoid the drivers under $3,500, including Corey LaJoie, Brennan Poole, Joey Gase, Timmy Hill, Reed Sorenson, and J.J. Yeley due to the limited expected upside. 

4. ROSTER WITH CAUTION

MARTIN TRUEX JR. (FD-$13,500) – Truex qualified in the 12th position, however, due to an engine change prior to the pre-qualifying inspection, he will be starting from the rear.

JOHN HUNTER NEMECHEK (FD-$4,500) – Nemechek qualified in the 26th position, however, it appears a radiator change will cause him to start from the rear as well.

The NASCAR Daytona 500 did not go exactly to plan, as avoiding the “Big One” is very difficult. At times, I was up 4x-5x, but I ended up slightly down after those last 2 crashes. I probably should have play 150 plus lineups. Hamlin had the best car and deserved the win.

NASCAR heads to Las Vegas for the Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube. This is a 1.5 mile oval that is running this race for the 23rd time. Jimmie Johnson has won this race 4 times, which is two more than Brad Keselowski and Kevin Harvick who are the only other multiple winners. Joey Logano won last year’s edition and is joined by Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch as the other one-time winners in this year’s field. Keselowski and Truex Jr. also have won on this track in the South Point 400 run in September the last two years.

The practice sessions heading into qualifying were interesting as 2 Ford’s driven by Aric Almirola and Clint Bowyer was in the top three of both sessions. Jimmie Johnson led the 2nd practice with a speed of 179.432 which topped the day. Bowman, DiBenedetto, Larson, and Blaney were the others who were in the top 10 of both sessions. Ross Chastain also looked good driving the #6 to a 6th place finish in session #2 replacing Ryan Newman.

Saturday’s qualifying was canceled due to rain which put Kyle Busch on the pole followed by Truex Jr., Harvick, and Hamlin in the first 2 rows. All the power players on top leaves values play at a minimum. I will lean on those who did well in practice or have had decent success in Las Vegas. Kyle Busch, Hamlin, and Bell will start from the back of the field but will be scored on their starting position. This makes them difficult plays unless you’re looking to be contrarian.

Starting Grid

My top DFS plays at each price tier this week are listed below. I was very torn on how strong to play my top picks. I decided to play hard on those I thought could dominate in laps led and position differential.

NASCAR DFS High-Priced

  1. Kevin Harvick $12,000
  2. Brad Keselowski $11,100
  3. Martin Truex Jr. $11,600

NASCAR DFS Mid-Tier

  1. Clint Bowyer $8,000
  2. Aric Almirola $7,800
  3. Jimmie Johnson $8,400

NASCAR DFS Value Plays

  1. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. $7,600
  2. Daniel Suarez $6,000
  3. Ross Chastain $6,100

I am working on all of my lineups currently and will be posting these on twitter either later tonight or early Sunday AM on twitter.

I also like 7 plays on DraftKings Sports Book to win the race. My #1 pick would be Clint Bowyer at 25/1, but I think there is value with the other plays too.

The 2020 NASCAR season is finally here. The 2 Bluegreen Vacations Duels At DAYTONA are on tap for Thursday to complete the field for the 62nd Daytona 500 this Sunday. Denny Hamlin took home the trophy last season, and for the 2nd time in 4 years. Jimmie Johnson is the only other driver in the field with multiple wins in this event. While starting position is nice to have for DFS, I will always lean towards talent starting at the back of the field.

This is my favorite race of the year, as I have taken home huge wins in the past with unlikely winners including Trevor Bayne and Austin Dillon. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won the pole for Sunday’s race and leads a slew of driver racing for new teams.

My top DraftKings DFS plays going into this weekend are below. I may tweak them a bit once the final starting grid comes out, but I am fairly confident in these choices at this point. Other than maybe Stenhouse Jr. at the top, the qualifying was not too surprising as 4 Chevrolets were at the top. Erik Jones took down the Busch Clash last Weekend and finished 10th in qualifying.

I will be updating my plays, including my DFS driver usage, on Saturday.

I have also chosen 5 NASCAR plays that I think have good value to win on DraftKings. While I think a big odds win is not probable, I am always willing to take some shots. Make sure you always shop around as most of the good odds this week are on FanDuel, not DraftKings.

  1. Kyle Busch 10/1 (13/1 on FanDuel) $250
  2. Jimmie Johnson 20/1 (22/1 on FanDuel) $100
  3. Christopher Bell 33/1 (42/1 on FanDuel) $100
  4. Erick Jones 25/1 $100
  5. Bubba Wallace 50/1 (70/1 on FanDuel) $50

Martinsville did not turn out like I has hoped as Martin Truex Jr. did exactly what I expected Denny Hamlin to do by dominating the race. Those short tracks are tricky and you have to throw your dart. This week we get back to a 1.5 mile track at the Texas Motor Speedway. There are only 2 races left for those 8 finalists still left in the playoffs to make the final four in Miami. For those below the cut line, this week in crucial as a DNF could force a must-win situation at Phoenix next week. Truex is currently on top followed by Hamlin, Kyle Busch, and Joey Logano in the top 4.

The Texas Motor Speedway is a newer track opening in 1996. It hosts 2 races yearly with the O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 in the Spring and the AAA Texas 500 in the fall. Jimmie Johnson has dominated at this track with 7 wins, but many others in the race Sunday have also had success including Kyle Busch and Hamlin with 3 wins, Harvick with 2, and Logano and Newman with one. Hamlin took the race earlier this season with some longer shots in the next three spots including Bowyer, Suarez, and Jones. I will have to spread a bit more in this race, to make sure I have proper DFS coverage.

2019 O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 Results

Below are my pre-qualifying NASCAR DFS rankings for DraftKings. I am a little more comfortable on this type of track, but I still prefer the super speedways. I always like drivers who will go for the win and take the risks necessary to make it happen.

NASCAR DFS High-Priced

  1. Denny Hamlin $10,800
  2. Kevin Harvick $10,400
  3. Kyle Busch $11,200

Mid-Tier

  1. Jimmie Johnson $8,600
  2. Erik Jones $8,400
  3. William Byron $8,000

Value Plays

  1. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. $6,800
  2. Daniel Suarez $7,200
  3. Paul Menard $7,300

Kevin Harvick led qualifying which was no surprise. Erik Jones and Denny Hamlin were close behind followed by Kurt Busch to complete the first two rows. The other playoff drivers qualified 11th (Logano), 12th (Kyle Busch), 13th (Larson), 14th (Elliott), 15th (Larson), and 17th (Truex Jr.) so all are in decent position to make a run to the top.

AAA Texas 500 Qualifying Results

It was very hard to decide who I wanted to back in this race on DraftKings. I decided to lean on the big three of Harvick, Hamlin, and Kyle Busch and wheel a bunch of value around them. It was hard to ignore Johnson who qualified 25th, but I was cautious only using him 4 times. I also thought Bowyer (24th), Newman (25th), and Menard (31st) had top 10-15 potential which would score well in DFS. I had to throw in some deep value in some lineups, but no one under $6K stood out. Below is my driver usage over 23 lineups. Good Luck!

I am a bit leery about Logano in this spot, so I would lean under with him, but I think Jones could lead some laps and get a top 5 finish, thus, I am on the over with him.
