Nothing says NASCAR like a night race at Bristol Motor Speedway. The day race earlier this season was fun as always, but there's just something about watching the cars under the lights at this track that gets the blood pumping. There's a lot in store for fans this Saturday night, and lots of money to be made in DFS.
Kyle Busch took the victory at the Food City 500 this season, and is always a solid play at Bristol. His situation this weekend though makes him a must-start, and in turn, he's landed in my picks this week. Another interesting fact is that one driver who's been in the news lately will be making his debut in my selections this week.
One cool thing to note is that there's a new way to play DFS NASCAR this week with our pals at Monkey Knife Fight. MKF is all about props, and you can cash in big by adding props to your weekly DFS play. One prop I like this week is taking the over on Joey Logano at 97.5 FPTS (see scoring details).

DFS Lineup Picks - DraftKings, FanDuel
Clint Bowyer #14 (DraftKings $8,200 | FanDuel $10,000)
I'm bringing the short track slayer out of the garage this week for what should be a killer performance at Bristol. Bowyer hasn't had the best finishes as of late, but I'm not concerned about him at this track.
Bowyer has finished inside the Top 10 the past three races here, and all with positive placement. With Bowyer starting in P20, what's not to love?
Kyle Busch #18 (DraftKings $12,700 | FanDuel $15,500)
Busch is absolutely the easiest lock of the week in all DFS formats this Saturday. The younger Busch brother is a legend at Bristol with a total of 8 career victories at this track, and an average of 72 FPTS since 2017.
Busch will start from P31 on Saturday nights race, and will no doubt be heavily owned (and for good reason). If you want to win, have the "take a bow" guy in your lineups this weekend.
Matt DiBenedetto #95 (DraftKings $6,700 | FanDuel $7,000)
For the first time, DiBenedetto has made his way to my driver picks. News dropped recently that DiBenedetto will not be returning to Levine Family Racing next season, and that should put him in heavy performance mode.
DiBenedetto looked fantastic in both practices at Bristol on Friday, finishing the first practice with a speed of 127.648, and the second in first place with a speed of 128.848. It seems that he is ready to ball out, and will be the edge you need starting in P7.
Joey Logano #22 (DraftKings $10,200 | FanDuel $13,500)
Logano has had a spaceship for a racecar recently, and mixing that with his past performances at Bristol, he is my pick to take it all this weekend. Logano has averaged around 70 FPTS since 2017 at this track with three Top 5 finishes.
Logano takes off from P11 this weekend, which is more than close enough for him to push his way up front early. Lock and load that yellow and red Ford Mustang for this race.
