Gander RV 400 Dover International Speedway - Dover, DE Track - One Mile Oval 24° of Banking After Chase Elliott picked up his, Hendrick Motorsports, and Chevrolet's first win of the season, the Monster Energy Cup Series heads to the Monster Mile for the Gander RV 400 on Sunday afternoon. Dover is a one-mile track but length is where the comparisons end in terms of other one-mile tracks in New Hampshire and Phoenix which are both flat tracks. With it being such a unique track, I will not be looking at track type this week but rather putting more weight on current track history, form, and a mix of practice/qualifying data. Speaking of qualifying, there will be no more chaos on pit road or drafting as NASCAR this week that is will be going back to single-car qualifying at all tracks except the road courses. That is big for the fantasy game as the fastest cars will more consistently be starting near the front with less place differential values on a weekly basis. This week more than any other should show us that as Dover has one of the highest correlations between starting and finishing position. From a strategy standpoint, dominator points are at the top of my list on DraftKings as we have seen at least one driver lead 100 or more laps in each of the last six races, four times with two drivers leading 100+ laps. On FanDuel, I will be focusing more on finishing position. Last Six Winners at Dover Chase Elliott(started 9th, led 11 laps) Kevin Harvick(started 2nd, led 201 laps) Kyle Busch(started 2nd, led 30 laps) Jimmie Johnson(started 14th, led 7 laps) Martin Truex Jr.(started 2nd, led 187 laps) Matt Kenseth(started 10th, led 48 laps) Track History at Dover Chase Elliott, coming off a win last week at Talladega, now returns to Dover where he has an elite 4.3 career average finish, his best at any track. He won the playoff race here last October and has...
Daily Fantasy NASCAR Race Preview & Picks for DraftKings – Geico 500

Geico 500 Talladega Superspeedway - Talladega, AL Track - 2.66 Mile Tri-Oval Superspeedway 33° of Banking After a week off for the Easter holiday, the Monster Energy Cup Series returns to the track this weekend for the Geico 500 from Talladega Superspeedway. We usually discuss plate racing when coming to Talladega but this race will be a little different with the new rules package. NASCAR no longer uses restrictor plates and instead will be moving forward with the new tapered spacer like we have seen at all other tracks since the Daytona 500. This will make the cars 550 HP across the board and the cars will also include the air ducts at the front. What kind of racing will this produce? No one really knows at this point and teams only have two Friday practices(60 and 50 min) to figure it all out. Qualifying will be Saturday afternoon and this race is another impound race. It is different than Richmond, however, as the qualifying tech will take place before qualifying starts. This makes things so much easier from a lineup construction standpoint as we won't have to wait until hours before the race for a confirmed starting lineup. Generally, at Daytona and Talladega we are looking to build around place differential. It makes sense as 12 or more drivers have picked up double-digit place differential in four of the last six races here. Last year was also a unique year as we normally don't see dominator points playing a part but Kurt Busch led 100 laps in the fall race and Joey Logano led 70 in Spring race here. Another trend to look at is the dominance of Ford here at Talladega lately. Each of the last seven and 10 of the last 13 winners were driving a Ford. Let's now take a look at some track history, current form, and then jump into the picks. Last Six Winners at Talladega Aric Almirola(started 4th) Joey Logano(started 9th) Brad Keselowski(started 6th) Ricky Stenhouse Jr.(started...

Toyota Owners 400 Richmond International Raceway Track - .75 Mile D-Shaped Oval Short Track 14° of Banking This week the Monster Energy Cup Series heads to Richmond, another track with a long history in NASCAR. It started back in 1953 with Lee Petty winning the inaugural race and has seen legend Richard Petty win a record seven straight here and stretch where he won nine of 10 here from 1970 to 1975. This will be the second straight short track race so that means the same rules package as Bristol with the 750 HP tapered spacer and taller rear spoiler. From a fantasy perspective, we have seen one driver lead 100 or more laps in each of the last six races and only once have there been two drivers to lead 100+. There have also been at least three drivers to lead 50+ laps in four straight five of the last six races. Moving through the field is not as tough here and we have seen at least six drivers pickup double-digit place differential in five straight races here. Let's jump in and take a look at some race trends and some of the top drivers to target this week. Last Six Winners at Richmond Kyle Busch(started 11th, led 92 laps) Kyle Busch(started 32nd, led 32 laps) Kyle Larson(started 4th, led 53 laps) Joey Logano(started 5th, led 25 laps) Denny Hamlin(started 1st, led 189 laps) Carl Edwards(started 4th, led 151 laps) Track History at Richmond Guess who? Kyle Busch coming off his third win of the season now returns to Richmond where he won both races in 2018 starting outside the Top 10 in both races. He has also tallied Top 10's in six of his last seven trips and leads all active drivers with six career wins here. It appears the Top 10 streak will continue! While Kyle has won the last two races here, Joey Logano has been a touch more consistent with a win, three Top 5's, and a 5.3...

Click here to sign up Auto Club 400 Auto Club Speedway - Fontana, California Track - 2 Mile D-Shaped Oval Superspeedway 14° Banking in the Corners Another terrific race is in the books following the Good Sam 500 last weekend at Phoenix. Kevin Harvick picked up the checkered flag as he beat out Carl Edwards in another photo finish. That is now two of the eight closest finishes in NASCAR history in the first four races this season. Have a look for yourself. I mean what more could we ask for? The racing product NASCAR is putting out there is fantastic for everyone involved. The new rules package has made it easier for drivers to get to the rear of another car and make a pass keeping the field closer together. Goodyear should also get a pat on the back with the new tires they have rolled out for teams. It has brought a ton of strategy back to the crew chiefs as the tires are falling off a lot faster during green flag runs. A great example of this was three weeks ago at Atlanta. Jimmie Johnson and the #48 team pitted early on a green flag run with about 40 laps to go in an attempt to gain advantage over the field, barring their be no caution flag. The race stayed green and the #48 had built a huge lead(10+ seconds) and held on for the win. If this keeps up we are in for one hell of a season. This weekend should be no different when it comes to exciting racing as the NASCAR haulers made the short trip west to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California for the Auto Club 400. The track is a 2 mile Intermediate/Superspeedway with 14° banking in the corners and can be best compared to Michigan. What makes racing so great here is the width of the track....

What a finish at the Daytona 500. Closest in history. If you missed it check out the recap below. The Joe Gibbs Racing team dominated the race at Daytona as Hamlin led 95 laps, Kenseth led 40 laps and Busch led 19 laps. They captured 1st, 3rd, and 5th and 14th(Kenseth was in 1st on final lap until Hamlin made his move). The favorite and most owned driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr. spun and ended up finishing back in 36th. Overall it was another terrific start to the NASCAR season and giving the series momentum as we head in to next week. The NASCAR haulers will now make their way North to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 this Sunday. The track is a 1.54 Mile Quad_Oval intermediate track. These intermediate tracks make up close to half the tracks in the 36 race season so we have plenty of data to help us pick out favorites. There is, however a wrinkle in the research this time around. NASCAR has fully implemented a new rules package for the 2016 season. Check out the terrific overview from NASCAR.com. This rules package was tested twice last year at Kentucky and Darlington and it was an overwhelming success. The reduction in the rear spoiler really helped reduce rear down force and produce more passing throughout the races. Although it was a small sample size we did notice a trend in those two races. Joe Gibbs Racing was, by far, the most dominant of the teams. The Kentucky races seen Kyle Busch dominate leading 163 laps en route to the win. His teammates Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, and Denny Hamlin all...
