NASCAR is back, and DraftKings is offering a new way to play fantasy NASCAR. The game is simple. Build a “Pick Set” (2-6 drivers) and decide if they will outperform their stat projections. Here is some advice to help build your DraftKings Pick6 Pick Sets for the NASCAR Cup Series DraftKings NASCAR Pick6 Plays: Top Picks for NASCAR Cup Series Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart at Atlanta.
Chase Elliott: Fastest Laps – 4.5
Pick6 Play: More
Atlanta is a superspeedway. The track was reconfigured in 2022. The intermediate track turned into a drafting track. It’s a pack race. There are wrecks. There is chaos. The drivers who survive to the finish at Atlanta, Talladega and Daytona can seem random. One way to avoid plate-racing volatility is to target fast laps in DraftKings NASCAR Pick6. Elliott could end up in the big one, or his day could end with a spin. A lot can go wrong, but Elliott can still clear this number.
The whole field accumulates fast laps. It’s the nature of pack racing. Any car in the draft can turn a fastest lap. Elliott has exceeded this number in every one of his Atlanta races. The Georgia boy has recorded six fastest laps in three straight races at Atlanta and five fast laps in the inaugural event at the newly designed track. He also won at the new Atlanta in 2022.
Kyle Larson: Fantasy Points – 26.5
Pick6 Play: More
Did anyone see this number coming? Larson hasn’t been a great superspeedway driver, but this number is low. Larson is the greatest driver in North America. He might be the greatest driver in the world. Max Verstappen is a great Formula 1 driver, but Larson is elite across every discipline. The GOAT only needs 26.5 fantasy points. Can Larson finish 11th? That’s not the question. Of course, he can. The question is, will Kyle Larson finish? If he navigates the madness — Atlanta isn’t that mad in comparison to Daytona and Talladega — he’ll earn a top-10 finish.
