NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Bristol Food City 300 (9/18/20)

We've got some Friday night action under the lights at Bristol for the Xfinity Series, with a lot on the line.

What's on the line? Oh, just the last chance for a driver outside of the playoffs to win his way in. Can Jeremy Clements or Myatt Snider pull off the huge upset?

Xfinity DFS Lineup Picks - DraftKings

Be sure to also check out all of our other weekly NASCAR DFS articles and analysis to help you set your optimal DFS lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel. 

Justin Allgaier #7 ($11,000) - Starting 1st

*rubs hands together*

JUSTIN ALLGAIER AT BRISTOL SZN Y'ALL.

Allgaier's best finish over the last three races here is eighth, and he's DNFed twice.

He's also led 426 of the 903 laps run at the track over that span.

Bad luck has derailed Allgaier's chances of winning each of those times despite being the dominant car in each race. Maybe the fourth time is the charm? Or maybe Allgaier's actually really bad at avoiding accidents here. I don't know. But based on how he's been running here, I tend to think Allgaier's going to rack up the DFS points.

 

Justin Haley #11 ($9,600) - Starting 5th

Suddenly, Kaulig Racing is unstoppable. Haley has two top two finishes in the last four races, including a win at Daytona. He was the fastest car at Richmond, with 72 fastest laps in the two races there.

Haley's track record here isn't great, but he did have 29 fastest laps in the Spring Bristol race. We should see a ton of speed out of this 11 and a chance to lead some laps if that speed materializes early. With how Kaulig Racing has been running, don't be surprised to see Haley contending for his first non-superspeedway win.

 

Anthony Alfredo #21 ($8,500) - Starting 19th

Am I worried that Alfredo hasn't race here in a series bigger than K&N, and that he finished 18th in that race?

Oh, yes, I am, but there are other factors that make me like Alfredo a lot this week.

The main factor? Richard Childress Racing has three consecutive top fives at Bristol, including Tyler Reddick's win last year and Myatt Snider's fifth place finish earlier this year. Alfredo should have a lot of speed in this 21 car, and I like the place differential upside he has since he'll have top 10 speed in a car starting 19th.

 

Riley Herbst #18 ($8,300) - Starting 20th

Riley Herbst is not that good at short tracks.

With that said, why wouldn't I want a Joe Gibbs Racing car that starts 20th in my lineup at this incredibly low price?

The danger here is that Herbst crashes at a track where he's struggled in the past. I understand that danger. I also understand how much upside there is if Herbst can run a clean race. I know people like to dismiss him, but he's got 15 top 10s this season. That's 60 percent of the races that have been run. You can't ignore Herbst in this one, even if the people doing the pricing this week seem to have ignored him. I'm going to have so many shares of Riley Herbst.

 

Gray Gaulding #07 ($7,400) - Starting 28th

In three Xfinity starts at Bristol, Gaulding has three top 15s, including a sixth place in the SS Green Light 08 car. Gaulding has only run superspeedways in the 07 this year, which skews his average, but he does have top 10s in both of his Xfinity starts.

Looking more into his Bristol credentials, we find that Gaulding has two top 10s here -- including a second-place finish -- in K&N, and while he's struggled here in the Cup Series, he's also struggled everywhere in Cup because he's been driving backmarkers that whole time.

Gaulding's got top 15 upside from a starting spot that offers plenty of place differential. Strong play here.

 

Colby Howard #15 ($4,800) - Starting 31st

We need to go with a cheap play to help us save salary. I think Colby Howard is a good option.

With Timmy Hill being priced really high, Howard is the further back guy in the field who I have any interest in. He's coming off a disastrous series of races at Richmond in which he finished outside the top 30 in both events, but he crashed in one of them and had issues in the other. Before that, he'd had consecutive top 20s, and this 15 car has run some decent races, including finishing 19th in the first Bristol race of the year.

The car has seemed to have less speed at times, like when Howard really struggled at Dover. But this JD Motorsports team has top 20 upside, and if he gets close to that, the place differential points are going to make a huge impact for your fantasy lineup.
