I started this blog to provide a casual, recreational level of fantasy NASCAR advice and discussion.  I've been playing these contests for a number of years and am annoyed by lineup sellers and groups of players using the same lineup.  I'm hoping to give the casual player some help in building solid lineups that can beat that annoying crowd most of the time.  I'm not a "tout" and don't do this for a living, so proceed accordingly.  I hope you enjoy the discussion here and Good Luck!

For the time being, I am focusing on Draft Kings.  If you would like weekly or seasonal advice for other formats, please post in the Comments below or DM on twitter to @illinisjc

Here is my initial list of targets for Draft Kings games this weekend.  Many of these guys are profiled in my prior two postings listing driver targets.  I've added a few words on the new names appearing here for the first time.  I'll update this list after the Duals when we see more of how the cars look on track and know everyone's starting position:
  • Brad Keselowski $10,400 -- profiled below; solidified spot with a win in the Clash
  • Denny Hamlin $9,800 -- profiled below; 2nd starting position is a concern given the risk of a big loss for place differential if he were to end up in the "big one"
  • Joey Logano $9,600 -- profiled below; also looked strong in the Clash
  • Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. $8,900 -- profiled below 
  • Clint Bowyer $8,200 -- profiled below
  • Aric Almirola $7,700 -- profiled below
  • Trevor Bayne $6,900 -- profiled below
  • Ryan Newman $6,600 -- Top 20 in 4 of last 5 Daytona races
  • Kasey Kahne $6,500 -- Top 20 in 3 of last 4 Daytona races; now with 95 team, which has run well lately at Daytona
  • David Ragan $6,200 -- Two plate track wins, including one at Daytona; but he tends to do better in the July race and not as well in the 500
  • AJ Allmendinger $5,900 -- profiled below; likely lock button as long as he does not start too close to the front of the field
  • Michael McDowell $5,800 -- Top 15 finish and completed all laps in last 4 Daytona races; now with Front Row Motorsports, which has two series wins, both at plate tracks
  • Brendan Gaughan $5,200 -- Ran the two Daytona races in the same #75 car for Beard Motorsports last year and finished 11th in the 500 and 7th in July.
  • AVOID Alex Bowman $7,500 -- Way too much risk for a place differential loss starting from the 1st position.  And he does not have a lengthy history of success at Daytona.
