NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Kansas Lottery 250 (7/25/20)

On Saturday, the NASCAR Xfinity Series caps off a weekend of racing at Kansas Speedway that began on Thursday with a Cup Series race.

We've got a strange lineup here. Kaz Grala makes his 2020 debut in the 21 car, and the JD Motorsports cars that had been great DFS options because of place differential aren't so much, with three of them starting in the top 20. We'll have to rethink some things in this one!

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 My Bariatric Solutions 300 on DraftKings. (And if any other DFS providers want to start doing Xfinity, we'll do those too!) Be sure to also check out our NASCAR Premium Tools for Xfinity Series including our DFS Lineup Optimizer and powerful Research Station.

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. 

Austin Cindric #22 ($11,200) - Starting 4th

The three drivers starting ahead of Austin Cindric are Michael Annett, Brandon Jones, and Kaz Grala, so it's fair to expect Austin Cindric to drive out to a pretty early lead, as none of those drivers are likely to offer much competition to this 22 car.

There used to be a lot of people who thought Cindric would never put it all together on ovals and would just be a really good road course guy at this level. Those people are wrong. Cindric is the hottest driver in the series right now, winning the past three races, all at intermediate tracks. While it might be a little much to expect anyone to win four races in a row, I still like the approach of riding the hot hand, especially with just how strong Cindric has been, leading 41, 130, and 44 laps over this span.

 

Noah Gragson #9 ($10,300) - Starting 10th

Look, I almost didn't suggest Gragson this week because his aggressive driving style is likely to make someone mad and get him turned around while racing for position.

But it's also hard to ignore Gragson's upside coming from the 10th position. He's run well on this track type all season, and while there's been some bumps along the way, he's still third in points and driving one of the best cars in the Xfinity Series. I'll take the small place differential upside from him this week over other guys higher on the starting grid.

 

Justin Haley #11 ($9,000) - Starting 12th

Haley starts last in this top-12 random draw group.

Haley's had four top 10s in a row, including a couple of top fives, and while this Kaulig Racing team hasn't shown the speed to get to the very front much outside of superspeedway races -- Haley won at Talladega, remember -- he has been an incredibly consistent presence over the second half of this year's races.

Haley's price is also nice this week. At $9,000, he's 10th in the pricing, behind guys like Brandon Jones and Harrison Burton, whose high starting spots worry me.

One possible pivot around this price is Myatt Snider, who starts 33rd and has run well this year, but I honestly don't know what to think of this 93 car now that it's under different management, and two wrecks in a row don't help us understand that any better.

 

Brandon Brown #68 ($7,000) - Starting 22nd

Brandon Brown is one of Xfinity's most consistent drivers. If he doesn't wreck, he's going to get a top 15 finish. That's just how 2020 has gone.

Now, the amount of incidents he's found himself in has increased over the past seven races, but I don't think that's enough reason to be scared off of Brown because, again, he's got clear top 15 upside while starting 22nd. That value is worth it this week.

 

Joe Graf Jr. #08 ($6,200) - Starting 34th

Now we get into slightly riskier territory.

Graf starts 34th in Saturday's race. Since crashing out in consecutive races at Talladega and Pocono, this 08 Bobby Dotter team has finishes of 26, 13, 22, and 21.

Obviously, those aren't great finishes. But Graf's starting spot for this race is far enough back that his place differential outweighs the fact that his ceiling in terms of finishing position is fairly limited.

 

Kyle Weatherman #47 ($5,900) - Starting 35th

Just copy everything I wrote about Joe Graf Jr., tbh.

Weatherman's not a great option from an IRL perspective, but Weatherman's had some good runs in this 47 car, with three top 15 finishes.

I like Weatherman (and Graf) this week not because either driver is a lock to finish in the top 20, but because they have the ability to finish in the top 20, which is something that can't really be said for some of the other lower priced drivers. And both drivers would accrue a good number of place differential points if they reach their ceilings which, again, isn't something you can say about a lot of the other cheap drivers. So, sure, round a lineup out with Weatherman.
