We’re in the home stretch for the biggest race of the year, the Daytona 500. The big NASCAR DFS Daytona 500 slate DraftKings has includes a $750,000 tournament with a $10 buy-in, where you could win a $100,000 first-place prize for only a $10 entry (or redeem some free $10 tickets with your DraftKings crowns if you have them, like I did). Already tody I’ve published a facts, stats, strategy, and GTO driver exposures NASCAR DFS Daytona 500 article. Here I’ll give you my machine learning model points and ownership projections for each driver, as well as a deep dive on each

The field is finally set for the 2019 Daytona 500, but before we dive into my driver-by-driver breakdown, I want to get out my yearly NASCAR DFS strategy article for the Daytona 500. In this article you’ll find facts and stats based off past Daytona 500 races, which, if the underlying assumptions of past Daytona 500 races hold true, gives us game theory optimal DFS exposures for each starting position. Then I’ll put all that together to give you some rules of thumb, and some strategy for this year’s Daytona 500 race. Let’s dive into the numbers!

Now that we’ve talked strategy for the Duel races, let’s dive right into a driver-by-driver breakdown of the 21-car field for the second of the two Gander RV Duel races, which will set the even-numbered starting positions for Sunday’s Daytona 500.

The twin qualifying races for the Daytona 500 take place Thursday night, and with the fields set for each race, DraftKings is set to have two DFS slates, one for each Duel race. In this article I’ll discuss past Duel stats and facts, and driver groupings, which will inform our Duel strategy.

Qualifying was set by a random draw, and Paul Menard will start on the pole for Sunday’s Advance Auto Parts Clash at Daytona. I’ll give you a driver-by-driver breakdown here for the 20-driver field. Also, be sure to check out my stats, facts, and strategy article for this race as well, a race in which I won the main DFS slate in 2016 and 2017. Let’s dive right into the breakdown!

The 2019 NASCAR Cup season kicks off Sunday with the preseason exhibition race called the Advanced Auto Parts Clash. DraftKings is running a $125,000 contest with an $8 buy-in. I actually won this slate in 2016 and 2017 so I’m very much looking forward to the 2019 edition of the DFS season opener.

Congratulations readers, you’ve made it to the end of another long but exciting NASCAR DFS season! For the season finale at Homestead, I’m going to give a breakdown of every driver, as well as talk strategy and model performance for this final race of the year.
