NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Road America Henry 180 (7/3/21)

It's a road course Saturday, as the Xfinity Series rolls into Road America.

There's qualifying this week, so take these DFS picks with a grain of salt for now, because we don't know place differential stuff. But based on track history and DFS pricing, I've got six drivers to keep an eye on this week.

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 Henry 180 on DraftKings. 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. 

Kyle Busch #54 ($10,900)

Lot of Joe Gibbs Racing in this week's race, as Kyle Busch jumps in the 54 and the team will run a fifth car, the 81 for Ty Gibbs. But while the young Gibbs has looked really good this season, I can't keep myself from paying just a little more to get Kyle Busch.

I mean, it's Kyle Busch. In an Xfinity race. For $10,900.

Granted, there is the fact that Busch has never raced at Road America, as far as I can tell. The Xfinity Series is here every year but this will be the first Cup race at the track since 1956, so Busch isn't around every year to make Xfinity starts here and he definitely wasn't alive in 1956 when Tim Flock won this race.

Still, I'm willing to bet that Kyle Busch figures out Road America quickly. He's the best pure driver in this field. He's the all-time winningest driver in the Xfinity Series. At this price, you have to have a lot of Busch in your lineups.

 

Austin Cindric #22 ($10,700)

There are two Xfinity regulars who are really good at road courses. You probably can't go wrong with either of them this week -- A.J. Allmendinger or Austin Cindric, who I'll be writing about here.

Cindric won here last year, leading 19 laps on his way to the victory. In 2019, he led just four laps, but finished second. He's led laps in all four of his races here.

In 16 career road course races, Cindric has 12 top 10s, with an average finish of 7.0. He's really, really good at road courses and doesn't seem to have the random bad luck that occasionally hits Allmendinger.

 

Kaz Grala #31 ($9,100)

Grala is establishing himself as one of the best young road course drivers in NASCAR, though it's disappointing he still doesn't have a full-time ride. Hopefully Kaulig picks him up next year for one of their cars since Justin Haley is going full-time for them in Cup.

Anyway, Grala hasn't raced yet in Xfinity this season, but last year he had three top 10s in five starts, including a fourth here at Road America. He's also been running some superspeedway races in Cup for Kaulig.

This week though, Grala is piloting the Jordan Anderson 31 car. That car isn't as good as a Kaulig car, but it's been solid this season when in the right hands, as Tyler Reddick and Josh Berry have had top 15s in all five of their races, while the one race the car didn't finish well was when Anderson drove the car at Texas.

Grala should be on the Reddick/Berry track, not the Anderson one. His value could change if he starts too far toward the front because I'm not too sold on this car, but he should have a solid run.

Andy Lally #5 ($7,800)

Lally is one of the best road racers in the world, though he's 46 now, so it's safe to wonder if he's lost a step.

Still, he was fifth at Mid-Ohio earlier this year in the 23 car. And while this 5 car hasn't run super well with Matt Mills driving it this season, Kevin Harvick did pilot it to a fourth at COTA, and Mills is usually able to finish mid-20s in this car.

Lally at a road course is better than Mills at...anywhere, really. I think he should be able to overcome any issues with the car and have a strong showing this week.

 

Jade Buford #48 ($6,100)

Buford is one of the most interesting drivers in Xfinity. He's a road course guy who's running (mostly) full-time in the 48 this year, and he's having a respectable season for someone without any oval experience before 2021, with an average finish of 23.3 this season.

But road courses are still Buford's bread and butter. A suspension issue at the Daytona road course relegated him to a 36th place finish, but he was 15th at COTA and 13th at Mid-Ohio. He can get the most out of this car at tracks like this.

Last year, Buford was 19th here, plus was eighth at the Charlotte roval. He's good at this kind of track! Barring a really good qualifying run, he's a must play.

 

Cody Ware #17 (5,100)

Before I mention Ware, I have to say that Matt Jaskol is an interesting value play, though him being in the 66 instead of the 13 concerns me.

Anyway, Ware is my favorite value guy. I know the last name "Ware" is something that concerns everyone, but in Xfinity, Cody Ware is a super solid play!

Ware's road course results this year: 25th at Daytona and 15th at Mid-Ohio. Not...great, but let's go back to last year, when he was seventh at the Charlotte roval.

Ware also ran the Indycar race at Road America this year. He only finished 19th, but his experience here counts for something. This is a solid value play.
