  1. William Byron ($10,000) — Commanding a premium price that reflects elite status, this front-runner consistently delivers top finishes at Atlanta — Victory Lane in 2022 and 2023. Aggressive drafting and a proven ability to navigate chaos — 2025 Daytona 500 win — make his performance a DFS cornerstone.
  2. Ryan Blaney ($9,800) — A consistent performer in tight pack battles, his ability to score big DFS points has been evident in past Atlanta races. Strategic moves on the track create ample opportunities for explosive scoring, setting the stage for another standout outing.
  3. Joey Logano ($9,700) — In high-pressure situations where chaos reigns, aggressive racing often propels him to the front. Solid Atlanta track records — two wins at the new configuration — combined with risk-management skills offer a reliable DFS edge.
  4. Brad Keselowski ($9,300) — Experience and tactical savvy come together as Keselowski reads Atlanta’s rhythm with precision. Strategic driving amid superspeedway chaos provides steady DFS points throughout the race. Patience and strategy matter. That’s Bad Brad’s blueprint.
  5. Denny Hamlin ($9,100) — Cool composure under pressure shines through when superspeedway chaos erupts. Hamlin runs hot on his podcast but not on the track. Conserving his car while still challenging for top positions translates to consistent DFS NASCAR production.
  6. Austin Cindric ($9,000) — Emerging as a dark horse, smart moves and aggressive passes hint at explosive DFS returns. Recent Atlanta outings have shown he can punch above his salary, making him an enticing value play. Cindric has been a savvy superspeedway star in the Xfinity and Cup Series. Team Penske speed helps.
  7. Chris Buescher ($8,600) — Subtle yet effective on the track, Buescher’s efficient driving style has consistently translated into solid superspeedway finishes. Often flying under the radar, his value plays well in unpredictable DFS scenarios.
  8. Kyle Larson ($8,500) — Yung Money is due. That’s it. That’s the blurb. He’s the best race car driver on the planet. He can drive anything on anything. His poor superspeedway results are nothing more than “mala fortuna.”
  9. Bubba Wallace ($8,300) — Superspeedways have always been Bubba’s cup of tea. It’s not spilling the tea to say Bubba’s career has been controversial and disappointing at times. It has not been disappointing at the drafting tracks. Dale Jr. fans won’t admit it, but Bubba and Junior have a lot of similarities.
  10. Christopher Bell ($8,200) — An often overlooked angle in DraftKings superspeedway contests is teams. Teamwork makes the dream work. JGR surely schedules a superspeedway seminar during their professional development day. If Hamlin hits, then Bell could ring behind him.
  11. Daniel Suarez ($8,100) — Trackhouse Racing has figured out the new Atlanta. Ross Chastain ($7,600) earned two runner-up finishes in 2022. Suarez has a win, two runner-ups and a fourth and sixth-place finish in six races.
  12. Alex Bowman ($8,000) — Adaptability to Atlanta’s unique track conditions results in strong finishes, with Bowman’s balanced approach pushing at just the right moment. A reliable option, his DFS potential is underpinned by calculated aggression.
  13. Chase Briscoe ($7,900) — This car has speed. Is it legal? It doesn’t matter for DraftKings scoring. Briscoe can get caught with mothballs in the gas tank and that won’t change the DFS score. After the major penalty following the Daytona 500, Briscoe has got to go. This is a premier ride. JGR won’t abide. Briscoe knows “let go.” He can get it done when his career is almost done.
