NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Kansas Lottery 200 (9/9/22)

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is back for the first time in almost a month as we head to Kansas Speedway on Friday night for the Kansas Lottery 200.

This is the final race of the Round of 10, with two drivers set to be eliminated from the playoffs following this one. Grant Enfinger and Chandler Smith have won their way into the next round—which six drivers will join them?

Here at RotoBaller, we want to help you make informed decisions about your DFS lineups, which is why I'll be breaking down the slates for the Truck Series. Let's look at some NASCAR Truck Series DFS lineup picks for the Worldwide Express 250 on DraftKings.

Post-Qualifying Update Thread

I absolutely hate to write these pieces before qualifying, but the schedule today makes it impossible not to. Check back pre-race and you should find a Twitter thread linked below with my post-qualifying thoughts.

 

How The Top Drivers Have Done Here

Let's compare the expensive drivers. This week, we have five drivers who cost at least $10,000.

Zane Smith ($11,200): Smith won here earlier this year and has never finished worst than 11th at this track. He's led double-digit laps in four of his five starts at Kansas. Consider Smith the favorite here. If he qualifies on the front row where he'll be able to pull away early, he'll be my top DFS option.

John Hunter Nemechek ($10,900): JHN has been on pole in both of his Kansas starts since joining KBM, but he's only led a combined 19 laps in those two races. He has four consecutive top 10s here, but each one has seen him finish one spot worse than the race before, which would mean he's positioned to finish seventh on Friday. That's an oversimplification, but I think Nemechek will end up being a slight fade for me.

Ryan Preece ($10,700): Preece has turned a lot of laps here, with six Cup Series starts. His best finish was 12th in 2019. But Preece has six top 10s in seven Truck Series starts this year, and he still led nine laps in the race he finished outside the top 10. Expect Preece to challenge for the win.

Chandler Smith ($10,400): Smith has only led one lap here in three races, but he has two top fives and a worst finish of 11th. He'll be competitive in this one.

Ty Majeski ($10,100): Overall, Majeski has seven finishes in a row of 12th or better, with four top fives in that span. He led over 70 laps in the last two races, though those were short tracks. In the first Kansas race, Majeski finished second. I want there to be some place differential if I'm going to play him, but any starting spot outside of the top 10 would mean I'd be high on him.

Mid-Priced Driver Options For Kansas

Here are some drivers between $7,000 and $10,000 to monitor.

Carson Hocevar ($9,300): Hocevar needs a good result here to advance in the playoffs. He's finished 23rd and 15th in his two Kansas starts, so I'm a little worried about that, but Hocevar has had some good runs at intermediate tracks this year, including a fourth at Texas. I might end up fading him if he qualifies too well, though.

Matt Crafton ($8,400): Want to bet on experience? Crafton has three wins here, with the most recent coming in 2020. He's finished in the top 10 in 10 of the last 12 Kansas races. His average starting spot this season is 14.6, so I could see this being a good PD play.

Brett Moffitt ($7,900): Moffitt returns to the 22 truck for his second start of the season. This truck has had some decent runs this year, with Austin Wayne Self having an average finish of 21.8. Moffitt is a much better driver than Self is. He's won here before and has led double-digit laps in his last three Kansas races.

Matt DiBenedetto ($7,700): DiBenedetto has logged a lot of laps here. Last year, he had a top five here in the Cup Series, and he's led 17 laps here in Cup. In the Trucks, DiBenedetto was seventh earlier this season.

 

Potential Value Options

Obviously, qualifying will impact this, but here are some drivers under $7,000 that I have my eyes on.

Chase Purdy ($6,900): Purdy has just one top 10 this year, but his average finish is 17.2, and he was 13th in the first race here.

Hailee Deegan ($6,300): In three races here, Deegan's worst finish is 17th. A lot will depend on qualifying since Deegan seems to have a cap on how well she can finish, but if she's coming off the grid 25th or worse, I'll hammer this play.

Jesse Little ($6,100): Little has an average finish of 19.7 this season. He was 24th in the first Kansas race. Little has turned some solid laps in this truck, so I'm keeping an eye on him.

Tyler Hill ($4,900): When it comes to deep value plays this week, I'm pretty meh on everyone, but Hill does have three top 25s in his four races this season, so if he qualifies poorly, I'll play him for the PD upside.
