Drydene 311: Saturday's DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

The last NASCAR doubleheader is finally here, which means your highest chance of bagging a tourney on DraftKings and Fanduel is here! In the past two NASCAR doubleheader races, Chef BoiRdeen (Drew Deen), and our premium subscribers have struck it big in DFS, racking in over $10,000 in winnings total. This Saturday, NASCAR heads to Dover International Speedway for the Drydene 311 Part 1.

The new qualifying formula has absolutely stacked the Top 5 with drivers who have great records at Dover, so lineup construction will be a little tricky. Chase Elliott will be starting P1 on Saturday, and in years past he's been a force to be reckoned with at this track. Even after the dominant performance he had at the Daytona Road Course last Sunday, I don't expect to see another 12 second lead from him this week (he would basically be an astronaut).

Denny Hamlin will be starting behind Elliott in P2, followed by Martin Truex Jr. in P3. With these three guys in the front of the pack, it's easy to question who will be the early dominator. I'll be sure to sprinkle all three of these guys into my lineups on Saturday, but I'll be playing one of them a little heavier than the others.

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:

 

Denny Hamlin #11

(DraftKings $10,200 | FanDuel $13,000 | DK SportsBook +600 )

Hamlin has just been downright consistent, and amazing as of late. Now that we are headed to the Monster Mile, Hamlin could use his momentum to finally check this track off his list with a win. I'm fully expecting Hamlin to take the lead early, and become the dominator of this race.

 Alex Bowman #88

(DraftKings $8,500 | FanDuel $10,000 | DK SportsBook +2500)

Bowman will most likely be one of the lesser owned drivers on Saturday, which makes him a lot more intriguing to me when playing tournaments. Bowman has had a pretty forgettable season (maybe not as forgettable as Kyle Busch's), but with his improvements at this track in the past year, I'm confident that he can shock the world on Saturday with at least a Top 5. Bowman rolls out right behind Kevin Harvick in P11.

Kevin Harvick #4

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

I had a conversation with avid NASCAR sports bettor Dale Tanhardt earlier today about if he thought Harvick could win this race. I'll let you wait to see his picks, but It's a hard yes for me. Harvick had a minor setback last week, but he's won at this track, and should put up some good place differential points starting from P10.

Martin Truex Jr. #19

(DraftKings $11,000 | FanDuel $13,500 | DK SportsBook +350)

Martin Truex Jr. has all the opportunity in the world to get a win this week starting from P3. Truex Jr. has shown that he can drive the wheels off a car at the Monster Mile, and still make it go to the finish. It was a tough call on deciding between Truex and Elliott this week, but I had to roll with the veteran who I feel is due for a win.

Corey LaJoie #32

(DraftKings $5,000 | FanDuel $3,500)

We learned this week that LaJoie will not be returning to Go Fas Racing in 2021, and that kind of new tends to bring out the fire in drivers. With that news, and Lajoie being priced lower than Garrett Smithley and BJ McLeod, it was a no brainer to make him my favorite punt play on the board. LaJoie starts P29, and with him in your lineup, you can stack some greatness.

Matt DiBenedetto #21

(DraftKings $7,400 | FanDuel $8,500)

Matty D gets another green light from me this week, as we get ready for the NASCAR playoffs. DiBenedetto knows that the cutoff line is coming for him, and he couldn't have asked for a better track to get to work at for it. Dibenedetto finished in P7 at the last race at this track, and with the Penske upgrades, I see good things happening for him and your DFS lineups.

Austin Dillon #3

(DraftKings $8,700 | FanDuel $7,000)

I'm a little standoffish when it comes to playing Dillon on DraftKings this week, but on FanDuel he is just a no brainer. Dillon successfully put COVID in a chokehold, and is looking to gain as much position as possible early on from P32. Although his record may not be that astounding at this track, you can't deny the place differential opportunity.

John Hunter Nemechek #38

(DraftKings $6,500 | FanDuel $5,000)

Nemechek is another solid place differential play this Saturday starting in P31. I mentioned in the NASCAR DFS Preview Show that I also like Bubba Wallace around this price range, but after more research, Nemechek won the battle fair and square. In his last three Xfinity races at Dover, Nemechek posted three consecutive Top 10's (I will throw a social distance party if he does it in the Cup series so please hold me to it).
