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!

I had my best day of the year in Xfinity on Friday night (see graphic below).  I'm hoping to keep on a roll for the Cup race on Saturday night.  Here are my thoughts going into this race:

DraftKings
  • For cash games, at the top of the roster, I'm most likely going to have Denny Hamlin (starting 36th due to failed qualifying tech inspection) plus two of the Big Three (Harvick, Truex and Kyle Busch).
  • At the bottom of the roster, I'd take DiBenedetto (starting 37th due to failed qualifying tech inspection) and a couple other salary savers like William Byron, Bubba Wallace, Ty Dillon, AJ Allmendinger, Ross Chastain or Kasey Kahne.
  • You could take a more balanced approach by pairing Hamlin with only one of the Big Three and then using someone like Clint Bowyer, Ryan Blaney and/or Jamie McMurray in your third and fourth slots.  Then fill with DiBenedetto and another cheap guy.  My concern with this approach is that I'm thinking we most likely see one or two of the Big Three dominate the race.  If they do so and you don't have the correct dominator(s) in your lineup, you're toast.
  • In tournaments, I like trying the alternate Bowyer/Blaney strategy mentioned above.  Other tournament plays I'll use include Larson, Logano and Almirola.

FanDuel
  • I'm thinking much the same way for FanDuel cash games.  Hamlin plus two of the Big Three.  Then grab DiBenedetto at minimum salary and take the best remaining guy for the salary you have left. 
  • The alternate Blaney/Bowyer/McMurray strategy is there as well. 

Here's my Xfinity return.  There was more green below that didn't fit on one screen.  It was a great night.
