Toyota / Save Mart 350 DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

NASCAR heads out west on Sunday, making its lone visit of the season to Sonoma Raceway.

Last week at Gateway, Joey Logano won his second race of the season. He sits sixth in the point standings. Of course, the big news after last week is that the growing feud between Ross Chastain and Denny Hamlin hit another level. Will this be the week that Denny looks for payback?

Below are my NASCAR DFS lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel this week. This slate locks on 6/12/22 at 4:12 p.m. ET. If you have any questions or want to talk NASCAR, you can find me on Twitter at @juscarts.

 

DFS Lineup Picks - DraftKings, FanDuel

Once you're done reading this article, be sure to also check out all of our other weekly NASCAR DFS articles, rankings and analysis to help you set your optimal DFS lineups. You should also make sure to check out our NASCAR DFS lineup tools for the ultimate combination of DFS tools to help you win big.

 

Martin Truex Jr.

Starts 28th - DraftKings $10,000 | FanDuel $13,000

Chalk.

Truex has won this race three times, winning in 2018 and 2019 and then finishing third last year. This is one of his best tracks.

But qualifying wasn't kind to him, as he'll start back in 28th. Not ideal if you're betting on Truex to win, but the place differential upside makes him a great DFS play on this slate. My only concern is that his exposure will be so high and I'll want to deviate from him in a good percentage of my lineups, where I'll likely pay up for Kyle Larson and hope he dominates the race.

 

Christopher Bell

Starts 31st - DraftKings $8,900| FanDuel $8,500

Like his teammate Truex, Bell just didn't have the speed yesterday.

But the No. 20 car finished third earlier this year at COTA, the first road course race of the 2022 season. He wasn't great here at Sonoma last year, but overall, Bell is solid on road courses, with top 10s in half of his Cup Series road course starts.

That, coupled with the speed he's shown this season, has me betting that Sunday will go a lot better for him than Saturday did.

 

AJ Allmendinger

Starts 16th - DraftKings $8,800 | FanDuel $11,500

Allmendinger is known for his road course prowess, though Sonoma has been a struggle for him, with just two top 10s in 10 Cup starts. He has led laps in his last five starts here though and his bad finishes are all 35th or worse because he runs into issues.

That was an issue for Allmendinger in his first stint in Cup: he'd overdrive his equipment at places like this and something would break, or he'd spin, or some combination of those things. But he seems like a matured driver now and won a Cup race last year while driving part time. He should be a contender on Sunday.

(He's also a little too expensive on FanDuel for my liking. I might grab a lot of Chase Briscoe instead over there, as he's $8,800 on FD.)

Austin Cindric

Starts 25th - DraftKings $8,400 | FanDuel $11,000

Before he started running well on every track type in the Xfinity Series, road courses were Cindric's bread and butter.

Of his 13 Xfinity wins, five were on road courses, including his first two career victories.

His lack of experience at this track is a concern, but Cindric has always proven to be a quick study on road courses, and he finished eighth earlier this season at COTA, leading 11 laps in the process. He could be a surprise threat to win this race.

(Another driver whose DraftKings value is way better than his FanDuel value. A pivot to save money on FanDuel could be Kevin Harvick at $7,000)

 

Erik Jones

Starts 33rd - DraftKings $7,500 | FanDuel $6,500

Qualifying didn't go well for Petty GMS, as Jones starts 33rd and Ty Dillon 34th. But the place differential for those two makes both worthy plays on Sunday.

Jones has run four Cup Series races here, with an average finish of 12.8 with two top 10s. He was 11th here last year in a Richard Petty Motorsports car that didn't have the same speed that the 43 has this season. I'm willing to say Saturday was just a bad day for this team and that it'll find speed on Sunday, especially when he finished ninth at the other road course race this season.

 

Ty Dillon

Starts 34th - DraftKings $5,800 | FanDuel $3,500

Like his teammate Erik Jones, Dillon was slow on Saturday. Unlike Jones, Dillon's record this year doesn't suggest he's a slam dunk when it comes to showing improvement on Sunday.

Still, lot of PD upside here for a driver who turned in a 20th-place performance at COTA, a gain of 13 spots on the grid. If Dillon can gain that many places today, I'll be happy with his performance at this price.
