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!

My DFS notes--
  • Really like Austin Cindric and Daniel Hemric again. As documented last week, this is the best type of track for both of them. Top 5s all season long to go with some laps led and fastest laps. Hemric is on pole and likely leads early. Don't understand why he is sub-$10k. Both need great runs to set themselves up to make the championship race.
  • Ty Gibbs is the big question mark here and will determine how the rest of your lineup can go. He's probably too expensive unless he leads laps or runs fastest laps. He certainly has the potential to do that since this #54 car has been the best car most weeks. I'm inclined to go with him here since this car has just been so good and it's a very realistic scenario for him to put up a huge score. And, while there are some good mid-range position difference plays to use salary on, I don't fully trust many of them. This is the Xfinity Series after all, so all of the obvious position difference plays come with question marks with the quality of car, quality of driver, or both. So I'm inclined to spend up for the best car in the field with a talented driver instead of just hoping to avoid the mid-range landmines.
  • On to those mid-range position difference plays--
    • Landon Cassill -- Best bet to deliver a Top 20. Reliable driver, but had an equipment failure last week. Usually the cars are OK for this team, so I'm not too worried about that.
    • Brandon Brown -- Best upside, but risky.
    • Garrett Smithley -- This team has had all sorts of issues lately. JJ Yeley's car completely crapped out last week. Driver is fine. Car is a big question mark.
    • Jade Buford -- Not the best at 1.5 mile tracks.
    • Bayley Currey -- Should finish in the Top 20.
    • Gray Gaulding -- Repeating what I said last week - trust the driver, don't trust the car.
  • Punts--
    • David Starr -- Was running with decent speed until they lost a motor last week.
    • Spencer Boyd -- Too cheap. Should gain a few spots at least.

Hi Steve. Thanks for your write ups! Do you like Allmendinger this week and if you do would you consider using him instead of either Cindric Hemric or Ty?

I'd have AJ 4th in that group. Certainly possible he could get up front and lead, but I like those three better.
