Super Start Batteries 400: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

Its time to carry on my wayward sons (and daughters) to Kansas Speedway for Thursday Night NASCAR Cup racing. Chef and I are riding high off of a successful DFS Texas Sunday with the help of Kenny Powers and SWISHAHOUSE (AKA Paul Wall and Mike Jones), and look to recreate that in the same week. While there are a few familiar faces I'm writing about this week, there are some new drivers I'm bringing in to help you get the bag.

Kansas Speedway is a 1.5 Mile intermediate track that is only 19 years old, and is basically the gamblers choice track with a Hollywood Casino located right behind it. There are a lot of tracks to compare Kansas to, which means we have a lot of data to go off of. One thing that we can be sure of is seeing Kevin Harvick throw down starting in the pole position.

The big question is if Denny Hamlin can pull it together after his crash and burn at Indianapolis. I'm not one to believe that he has the Ricky Bobby fear in him by any means, but things got a little wacky this past Sunday in Texas with the Joe Gibbs 11 car. Will we see him get a repeat win Thursday night, or will his teammates Martin Truex Jr., Erik Jones, and Kyle Busch rise to the occasion?

DFS Lineup Picks - DraftKings, FanDuel

Be sure to also check out all of our other weekly NASCAR DFS articles and analysis to help you set your optimal DFS lineups, including the RotoBaller NASCAR DFS Preview Show on YouTube:

 

Kevin Harvick #4

(DraftKings $11,500 | FanDuel $14,000 | DK SportsBook +400)

Kevin Harvick has basically become the equivalent of William Byron in the iRacing Pro Series earlier in the year. Harvick is starting P1 at Kansas, and is sure to be the heaviest owned guy in DFS. Look for K-Harv to lead plenty of laps, and be an early dominator at this track.

Denny Hamlin #11

(DraftKings $10,200 | FanDuel $13,000 | DK SportsBook +800)

Hamlin has dipped in price a bit since his wipeout in Indianapolis, and I'm here to take advantage of it. Not only is Hamlin the most recent race winner at Kansas, but he led a total of 153 laps. Just think about how things went down at Homestead earlier in the year when building your lineups.

Tyler Reddick #8

(DraftKings $8,300 | FanDuel $8,800 | DK SportsBook +3300)

Am I crazy to think Reddick can win this race (probably)? Reddick jumped off the page for me this week at this track based on his cup series run last season. Reddick finished inside the Top 10 at this track in lower grade RCR equipment, which is an amazing accomplishment in my opinion. With Custer already having a win this season, Reddick knows this is his best shot.

 

Chase Elliott #9

(DraftKings $11,000 | FanDuel $13,400 | DK SportsBook +650 )

Eliott is my favorite to win at Kansas with some solid odds, and a great starting position for DFS purposes (P11). Elliott had a win at this track back in 2018, and we all know he can dance at these types of tracks. Elliott seems to shine bright under the lights, and he'll have that very opportunity Thursday night.

Clint Bowyer #14

(DraftKings $7,500 | FanDuel $9,600)

Bowyer has a chance to be the hometown hero this week at this track, and it's wild to me that he still hasn't closed at Kansas. SHR cars have been on point this season, but Bowyer always seems to pull the short end of the stick. One thing that's certain this week is his low price and place differential potential at Kansas.

Ty Dillon #13

(DraftKings $6,500 | FanDuel $5000)

Dillon looks to be the safest play on the board this week starting in P36. Dillon fits in lineups pretty well this week and has a solid floor to deliver good point production. Dillon has also landed himself as the second-ranked driver on Chef BoiRDeen's Premium Rankings.

Corey Lajoie #32

(DraftKings $5,700 | FanDuel $4,500)

Lajoie is my value play this week for a guy who has some decent upside based on a few runs this season. Most people will look to Ryan Preece this week when searching for value, but I can't pull myself to play the guy with three last-place finishes in a row. Lajoie starts from P31 on Thursday.

Alex Bowman #88

(DraftKings $8,500 | FanDuel $10,300 )

Bowman is strictly a gut play of mine this week, and in his defense, he's not that bad at this track. While there are better options when building optimal DFS lines, something is telling me to keep an eye out for him. Last May, Bowman had a career-best finish of P2 at this track.
