NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Dover A-Game 200 (4/29/23)

The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Delaware this weekend to race 200 laps around the one-mile, high-banked concrete of Dover Motor Speedway. The race is supposed to be run Saturday afternoon, but rain's already washed out qualifying and there's rain in the forecast most of Saturday, so we'll see when the race will actually get underway. Looks like there could be a window Saturday late afternoon, but with Dover not having lights, it gets complicated.

The last time the Xfinity Series was here, Josh Berry led 55 laps on his way to the win, while teammate Justin Allgaier led 67 and finished second. Four of the top five were JRM drivers. It was also Berry's second consecutive top-two finish at the track.

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 A-Game 200 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 4/29/23 at 1:45 p.m. ET.

Josh Berry

Starting 19th - $10,800

Dover is a great track for Josh Berry. He's raced here twice, and his worst finish is second. He led 48 laps on his way to that second-place finish in 2021, then led 55 last year and won.

Berry starts 19th this week though, so he might not be a contender to lead a lot of laps, but he'll make up for that with place differential upside. I'm also not writing Berry off when it comes to ending the day in victory lane—Austin Cindric won in 2021 from the 16th starting spot, though no one in Xfinity has won while starting 19th or worse here since 2006, when Jeff Burton started 36th. So, probably won't throw cash down on a Berry win, but he can easily get you +15 in place differential.

Cole Custer

Starting 2nd - $9,900

Here's something I really like about the way this starting lineup shook out: instead of getting someone like Josh Berry on the front row who would just run away with things, we now get place differential upside and can also grab outside polesitter Cole Custer, who should be able to log a lot of laps at the front of the field in this one.

Custer has a good history here in the Xfinity Series. In 2019, he led 155 laps in the spring race before finishing fourth, and he followed that up with a win in the fall. His average finish here is 5.3.

And back to that theory from the first paragraph of this section, in that race where he led 155 laps, those were the first 155 laps of the race. Custer took off fast and was able to stay in front for a long time before Christopher Bell took the lead under caution on lap 156. Custer's the driver I'm betting on here, and right now DraftKings has him at +600.

Sam Mayer

Starting 24th - $8,800

Like Josh Berry, Mayer's a JRM driver starting much deeper than he usually would because of the rain-out formula. And while I don't think he can be a threat to win like Berry, I think he's another driver who can pretty easily get you +15 in place differential.

Mayer's only run here once in Xfinity, though he has an ARCA Menards East victory at this track. In his one Xfinity start, Mayer led 18 laps and finished fifth. Small sample, but this appears to be a really good track for the driver of the No. 1 Chevy, and if he can keep the car clean, he'll find a way to finish in the top 10.

Anthony Alfredo

Starting 31st - $7,600

Alfredo has had a really solid season in this B.J. McLeod-owned 78 car. His average finish is 22.6, but that's dragged down by crashes at Richmond and Talladega. In the other seven races, Alfredo has five top 20 finishes.

He also was running well at Talladega before crashing, as he led five laps. This team seems to have found some extra speed this season over what McLeod's teams usually have, and Alfredo has had a good track record when starting 25th or worse this year when it comes to place differential: +11 at Phoenix, +13 at COTA and +14 at Martinsville.

Corey Heim

Starting 36th - $6,800

This will be Heim's Xfinity Series debut, as the 20-year-old hops into one of the Sam Hunt Racing cars for the first time. He's currently fourth in the Truck Series points and has won three of his first 26 races in that series.

Notably, Heim won in his fifth career Truck Series start, so he's shown already that he can acclimate quickly to a new series. He won't win on Saturday—I'm willing to put that in print, since he starts so far back at a track where, once again, no one has won from this far back since 2006.

But that doesn't mean Heim can't have a strong showing. This 24 car has had some bad luck this season, but part of that is that all but two races have featured either Parker Chase or Connor Mosack in it. I'm willing to say that Heim's better than those two. Kaz Grala has four straight top 25s in the other SHR car, including a fourth at Richmond. Heim should be able to gain 15-20 spots in this race.

Kyle Weatherman

Starting 35th - $5,700

Kyle Weatherman is a really talented driver who just hasn't really had a chance to drive good equipment. And this Our Motorsports car isn't really good equipment, but it's better than some of the stuff he's been in.

Weatherman has run four races in this car this season. He crashed relatively early at Atlanta, but his other finishes were 16th, 17th and 22nd. Not bad. This week, he starts a season-worst 35th because of the rain-out formula, so Weatherman should have added place differential upside, making him my top value play on this slate.
