Coca-Cola 600 DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

It's time for the longest race on the NASCAR schedule—and the nightcap to a day of racing across the world that started in Monaco with Formula 1, then moved to Indiana for the Indianapolis 500. Now, things end with the Coca-Cola 600.

Last week was the All-Star Race, which Ryan Blaney won. Blaney is still looking for his first points-paying win of the 2022 Cup Series season though. In the last official race, Kurt Busch drove to victory lane at Kansas, his first win of 2022.

Below are my NASCAR DFS lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel this week. This slate locks on 5/29/22 at 6:16 p.m. ET. If you have any questions or want to talk NASCAR, you can find me on Twitter at @juscarts.

Kyle Larson

Starts 36th - DraftKings $11,300 | FanDuel $14,500

Larson starts 36th after damage to the car in practice that led to him not making a qualifying run. That leaves a huge amount of room for Larson to gain place differential points in this one. I'm not sure he's going to be able to win from 36th, but...hey, it's a 600-lap race, so anything can happen.

As for his track record here, Larson has some good runs and some not-as-good runs, but his lone Charlotte race for Hendrick saw him lead 327 of 400 laps last year and win.

Denny Hamlin

Starts 1st - DraftKings $10,500| FanDuel $11,500

There's a lot of laps in this one, so one thing I want to make sure I target is a driver who can lead a whole bunch of them. That's why I really like Hamlin this week.

Hamlin has never won here, but he's finished in the top five in one-third of his Charlotte starts. A win is coming. Hamlin was seventh in this race last year and has had some really good runs at this track, including leading 53 laps of the 600 back in 2015. He's had an inconsistent 2022 season, but when he's fast—as he appears to be this weekend—he can still win races, even if he has just two top 10s this year. Risky play, but I think he's worth it.

Joey Logano

Starts 23rd - DraftKings $8,900 | FanDuel $11,000

Logano has some nice PD upside in this one as he starts 23rd. A former winner here, Logano's luck at Charlotte has been down lately, as in his last eight starts here, he has just two top 10s. That does include a second-place finish in the 2019 600, plus he led 26 laps of this race in 2020. Logano knows how to contend at this track, even if it hasn't happened consistently lately. I expect him to compete for a top 10 today.

Erik Jones

Starts 25th - DraftKings $7,600 | FanDuel $7,800

Another driver who starts in the 20s and should have speed, Jones will roll off 25th on Sunday night.

In seven Cup Series starts here, Jones has a best finish of seventh, which came in his first 600 start. He hasn't a top 10 since.

Still, his 2022 numbers are encouraging. Four top 10s already for the 43 car, and while he crashed out at Vegas and finished 32nd at Kansas, he's shown speed at intermediate tracks.

Brad Keselowski

Starts 35th - DraftKings $6,600 | FanDuel $5,500

Roush isn't the Roush of old, which used to run really well at the 600. But this team doesn't need to be elite when it comes to fantasy when the following two things are true: 1) Brad Keselowski starts outside the top 30 and thus has a lot of place differential upside and 2) Brad Keselowski is incredibly affordable.

Keselowski has two wins here, including the 2020 running of this race. He also led 76 laps in the 2019 600.

But yes, that was with Penske Racing, and Roush isn't Penske.

Still, Chris Buescher took a Roush car to an eighth-place finish in this race last year, so Brad K should have some speed.

Corey LaJoie

Starts 37th - DraftKings $4,900 | FanDuel $3,000

This is a race of attrition, so really all someone like LaJoie has to do to have a solid day is finish the race. He should gain at least 10 spots by the end of things simply by doing that, which doesn't even factor in him getting past the backmarker cars.

LaJoie has also been running solid lately. He's finished in the top 20 in four of the last five races, with the non-top 20 in that window being at Darlington, when he crashed out just after the midpoint of the race.
