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!
Qualifying got rained out halfway through, so we've got a bit of a wacky qualifying order. There are a number of really good position difference plays starting in the back that will lead to a lot of chalky lineups in cash games. Let's talk through some of the options--

I won't have anything for Trucks on Friday. But I'll post notes for Xfinity late Friday night and Cup late Saturday night. Good luck this weekend!
We've got some very tough decisions at the high end of the salary structure for Saturday, so let's start with the easy stuff and work our way up to the hardest choices. Here is my thinking for cash games and single entry tournaments:
It all starts with Chase Elliott in the 28th starting spot. For cash games I wouldn't use anyone starting further forward than that. So let's look at the options--
It's very straight forward for cash games in the Xfinity Series. There's no reason to use anyone starting better than 31st. So here are the options -
Some good plays that are a little more aggressive -
The website here will be on hiatus until Talladega. I'll be unavailable the next two weekends (Richmond and Martinsville) and don't to the dirt race at Bristol. Gonna be back as strong as ever come Dega Week.
Good luck to all in the meantime. Lots of very good options in play this week, so I'm going to break down each tier and let you know what I'm thinking--
$9k and up
Two slates, so right to the point here--
Trucks
Xfinity
I'm skipping Xfinity and Trucks for Atlanta. There's too much uncertainty about what these races are going to look like and I'm not going to be able to watch practice on Saturday morning, so I've got no edge. I'm hoping to catch up on Cup practice and post something for the Cup race late Saturday night.
Cup Update--After watching practice and Saturday's races, I'm still at a point where I really don't like this race from a DFS (or real life) perspective. My advice is to play very light and try to do something a little different. Don't just play all the real chalky guys. I wouldn't go full super speedway/stack the back strategy, but I do think it's best to focus on position difference guys. I probably won't use anyone starting higher than 15th. Trying to guess lap leaders is tough and fastest laps were all spread throughout the field on Saturday. Good luck. Looking forward to a more normal race next week. Here are my favorite options for Sunday--
