NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Charlotte Alsco Uniforms 300 (5/27/23)

The NASCAR Xfinity Series is back in action after taking last week off, with the series heading to Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend. Rain in the forecast has pushed the start time earlier for Saturday's race, as it now goes green just after noon Eastern.

Last time out at Darlington, Cup Series star Kyle Larson drove to victory, leading 46 of the 47 laps. Justin Allgaier in second was the highest finishing Xfinity regular. After 11 races, John Hunter Nemechek holds a one-point lead over Austin Hill in the point standings.

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 Xfinity Series. Let's look at some NASCAR Xfinity DFS lineup picks for the NASCAR Xfinity Series Alsco Uniforms 300 on DraftKings. Be sure to also check out our NASCAR Premium Tools for Xfinity Series including our DFS Lineup Optimizer and powerful Research Station. This slate locks on 5/27/23 at 12:17 p.m. ET.

Ty Gibbs

Starting 3rd - $11,500

While Kyle Busch is running this race, he hasn't really been that great in his Kaulig starts, only leading a total of seven laps. Definitely not enough to justify paying $13,500 for him when you can get last year's Xfinity champion, Ty Gibbs, for $11,500.

Gibbs hasn't made an Xfinity start since he won the title last year, but he should be considered the favorite to win this one as he steps into the 19 car. Charlotte is one of his best tracks. In 2021, he won this race, and then last year he came from the 36th starting spot to finish second. Can't do too much better than an average finish of 1.5 at a place.

Josh Berry

Starting 14th - $9,800

Berry was the best car here last season, qualifying fourth and leading 89 laps on his way to the victory. He starts 14th on Saturday and while I don't have him as my pick to win this race, I wouldn't be shocked if he's in the mix at the end.

Xfinity has only run one true intermediate track this season, back at Vegas for the third race of the season. Berry ran well there, starting and finishing fifth and leading a couple laps in the process.

Berry might also have some added incentive to win this weekend, as there's been rumors that the announcement of his move to Stewart Haas Racing in the Cup Series for 2024 is going to be announced soon.

Austin Hill

Starting 17th - $9,200

Unlike our first two drivers, Austin Hill doesn't have a good track record here in Xfinity. His first start in 2002 ended in a crash and a 33rd place finish, and then last year he finished a lap down in 14th.

But he does have three top 10s here in the Truck Series, including a ninth here in 2020 in a race where he led 26 laps. And at the only other true intermediate track that Xfinity has run this year, Hill ended the day in victory lane, winning at Las Vegas after leading 19 laps. Starting 17th on Saturday also gives Hill a good bit of place differential upside.

Ryan Sieg

Starting 36th - $7,200

This is one of those chalky place differential plays that you kind of hate playing because everyone else is so playing him, but that you have to put in your cash lineups because...well, because unless something goes wrong, he's gonna score a lot of fantasy points.

In practice, Sieg blew an engine, which meant he didn't get a qualifying run in, relegating him to starting from the rear:

Sieg's got an average finish of 16.9 this season, his best mark since 2020. He's not on track for as many top 10s as he had last season when he had a career-high 13 of them, but he's finished 15th or better four times this year.

My one concern is that he was only 24th at Vegas, the other intermediate track that Xfinity has raced. But...24th is still plus-12 in place differential and 18 points for the finishing spot, so that'd still be a pretty good showing.

Jeremy Clements

Starting 27th - $6,300

Clements is another good place differential play. Not quite as good as Sieg, but at $900 less, he's still a solid option, even if the floor and ceiling are both lower than they are for Sieg.

This season, Clements has an average finish of 20.8, but he's posted three top 20 finishes in a row, including a 14th at Darlington last time out. He did struggle at Las Vegas though, which concerns me—he started and finished 25th in that race.

Still, there are not a ton of value options that I love on this slate, so I'll take a risk with Clements and hope he improves on that Vegas showing.

Jeffrey Earnhardt

Starting 38th - $5,800

Earnhardt hasn't had a great season for Alpha Prime Racing, with an average finish of 27.9. But three DNFs do drag that number down some, and the fact that he starts 38th gives him some room to work when it comes to place differential.

He's also run decently well lately. In his last three non-DNF races, he has a pair of top-20 finishes. Maybe Earnhardt won't set the world on fire, but he starts so far back that he really just needs to keep the car in one piece to be a positive DFS contributor.
