This weekend’s race is as Kansas Speedway, a 1.5-mile tri-oval with variable banking in the corners. The race is a Saturday night race, so be sure to set your DraftKings NASCAR Kansas lineups on Saturday, not Sunday! …...

NASCAR makes its way to Kansas Speedway this weekend for some non-plate racing. Kansas is a 1.5-mile oval with progressive banking in the corners. I’ll break down this DraftKings NASCAR Kansas slate in this preview…....

Sunday’s race at Talladega was, as predicted, a wild affair. There were four major wrecks that shook up the field, and shook up the DraftKings standings. Race favorite Dale Earnhardt, Jr. crashed twice and even had his steering wheel come off mid-race in what was a difficult day. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Brad Keselowski was one of only five drivers to steer clear of every crash…...

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series makes its way to Richmond International Raceway for 400 laps at the 0.75-mile bullring. With 400 laps on the docket, finding the potential race dominators is, as usual, going to be very importnat for both cash game and GPP formats.

This weekend NASCAR is at Bristol Motor Speedway for 500 laps at the 0.533-mile bullring. To prepare for the DraftKings NASCAR Bristol slate, you’ll want to identify the potential race dominators for both cash game and GPP formats. As I explained on this week’s NASCAR episode of the On the Daily DFS podcast, Bristol usually has a handful of dominators, so taking as many bullets as you can at the…...

Tonight marks the first night race on NASCAR’s schedule – the Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. TMS is a 1.5-mile quad-oval layout similar to Atlanta Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway. Of the two, Texas is more similar to Atlanta because of the high tire wear cars should experience due to an old, abrasive surface. However, the night racing component does make it similar…...

NASCAR heads to the shortest track on the schedule this weekend — the 0.526-mile paperclip-shaped track known as Martinsville Speedway for the STP 500. That 500 is a key number, because that’s the number of laps there are this week. As a result, it is of utmost importance to find the likely race dominators. Without getting them in your roster, you’ll be behind the eight-ball in the…...

After a refreshing week off, NASCAR returns this weekend to Martinsville Speedway for the STP 500. However, first we’ll revisit the model projections and my picks for the Auto Club 400 two weekends ago at Auto Club Speedway. The race was somewhat nutty, with several tires going down or outright blowing out. This led to multiple cautions and put several drivers back in the running…...

This week NASCAR heads to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California for 200 laps at the 2-mile D-shaped oval. A better name for the track might be Kyle Busch‘s playground, because over his last four races here, he has won twice, and finished second and third one time each. Make sure to check out my DraftKings NASCAR Auto Club Speedway slate preview here, complete with strategy and…...

NASCAR wraps up its west coast swing this weekend with its one and only trip to Auto Club Speedway this year, located in Fontana, California. Auto Club is a 2-mile, D-shaped oval and is twin tracks in shape with Michigan Speedway. However, the comparisons end there. Auto Club isn’t banked as much as Michigan, with only 14 degree banking in the turns compared to 18…...

Sunday’s race at Phoenix went according to plan for the most part. Kevin Harvick continued his dominance at the track, edging out Carl Edwards by 0.01 seconds to take the victory. In the process, Harvick racked up 76 fastest laps and 139 laps led, for a whopping 135.75 DraftKings points…....

Phoenix ace Kevin Harvick qualified only 18th for Sunday’s Good Sam 500, meaning if he is going to dominate the race, he’ll have a lot of traffic to deal with on his way to the front. I’ll break that down, along with the rest of the DraftKings NASCAR Phoenix slate. As usual, I’ll give give both my cash and GPP picks, along with my fades and…...

NASCAR heads to its first flat track of the year, the 1.022-mile Phoenix International Raceway, for 312 laps of racing. Like all races of 250 or more laps, it will be important in this DraftKings NASCAR Phoenix slate to roster the dominant driver in both cash game and GPP formats…....

Things at Las Vegas were going along just fine. Then BAM! The Vegas version of “The Big One” happened when Matt Kenseth got loose and slid up the track. He had the car saved, but lost a ton of speed. That’s when Chase Elliott plowed into Kenseth from behind, setting off a chain reaction that collected Carl Edwards among other drivers. As a result, a daily fantasy NASCAR day that looked promising was…...

Tomorrow’s race at Las Vegas promises to be vastly different from last week’s race at Atlanta. I’ll break down the DraftKings NASCAR Las Vegas slate, and give my cash game and GPP picks, as well as fades and machine learning model projections for Sunday’s race.

This week NASCAR heads to it’s second consecutive 1.5 mile oval as teams make their way to Sin City to race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Sunday’s race will be 100 miles shorter than last week’s race at Atlanta, resulting in only 267 laps instead of 325. This means it’s only slightly less important than Atlanta to roster the drivers that will dominate the race. But…...

Last weekend’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway featured great racing all through the pack. The combination of tire wear, sunny weather, and a low downforce aerodynamic package all contributed to race cars that were tough to handle. Yet the drivers performed admirably, with only three total cautions coming out. Only two of these were for driver incidents, both within the last two green…...
