Hello everybody and welcome! We have finally reached the debut of NASCAR DFS on PrizePicks and that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or single stats. The goal is to build a 2-player, 3-player, 4-player, or 5-player entry and then select whether or not you want to play for the power play or the flex play. On the power play, you will need to be correct on each of your selections to win, and on the flex play, you will have a little more wiggle room for a chance to win some money back.
Our partners at PrizePicks offer some of the best, and easiest to win, NASCAR DFS games in the industry. There are no large-field tournaments filled with sharks where you have to get lucky just to place. At PrizePicks, you're not playing against other people, you're just playing against the projections, and the guys at PrizePicks have worked hard to give you really attractive opportunities to make some money. With promo code 'BALLER' you can get a 100% match on your deposit up to $100.
PrizePicks and NASCAR focus on Fantasy Score which has a scoring system where 1st nets 40 points, 2nd is worth 39, 3rd is worth 38, and so on. Every lap led equals an extra 0.01 points. For NASCAR, we are going to try and focus on the main board's Fantasy Score and see which players may go over or under their projected point totals. Let's see what the board offers today!

Fantasy Score Point Totals
Joey Logano Over 33.5 Points. Logano starts the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 from the pole at Martinsville coming off a win at Bristol before the Easter Break. With the higher point structure for points based on place finished, a top-five finish guarantees the over. Yes, there is always the risk for a crash but Logano is one of those drivers that tend to avoid conflict while coming close to it. The feeling is that Logano could lead just enough laps and finish at the worst around the top five. That should be enough.
Denny Hamlin Over 33.5 Points. Hamlin has somehow not won a single race this season but has six top-five finishes in seven races. With fifth place receiving 36 points, this looks to be the surest bet of all. If Hamlin leads 51 laps, which he could, that means a bonus of 0.51 points which might make a difference. Either way, Hamlin figures to be prominent in this race and has 7 to 1 odds to win. The points format on PrizePicks definitely leads to a few no-brainer choices this weekend and the Joe Gibbs Racing driver is one of them.
Ryan Blaney Over 33 Points. We would argue here to just run with the over and collect your dollars. Blaney keeps finishing in the top five at Martinsville. Last year, he had the best car twice and, you guessed it, finished second twice because of a little bad luck at the end where he got caught on the wrong end of the grip. Blaney has the car to contend again and starts from the fourth position this time. Blaney is one to watch and it would not be a surprise if he can stay up near the front late to even steal a win. He has that kind of knack.
Chase Elliott Over 34.5 Points. This seems a bit low of a total for Elliott but with the issues, he has had finishing in the top five and staying on the track this year, we get why. Elliott has won once on the Martinsville track and has six top ten results too. He finished fifth in the Spring race and won the Fall race on his way to the Cup Series title. Also, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has the ability to lead quite a few laps. If he can avoid pesky pit issues and a wonky engine, Elliott excels at short tracks and could factor in for the win.
Martin Truex Jr. Under 35.5 Points. Truex Jr. is a bit of a wildcard but he showed at Bristol that he can drive those short tracks well and even on dirt. The only question may be his tires. They were an issue that ultimately derailed him late at Bristol. Was that problem fixed? It is a concern and partly why the risky pick here is to take the under as our thought process is Truex Jr. may be in the top five but likely to finish just outside it at Martinsville.
