The NASCAR Cup Series Wurth 400 at Texas is on Sunday and DraftKings is offering a new way to play fantasy NASCAR. The game is simple. Build a “Pick Set” (2+ 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 Wurth 400 at Texas.
Joey Logano: Fantasy Points – 47.5
Pick6 Play: More
This hasn’t been the greatest season for Logano. The 2024 season wasn’t stellar either, yet Logano finished as the Cup Series Champion. The Gen-7 car has ushered in an era of parity, with 30 cars capable of finishing in the top 10 in any race. This close competition makes it hard for a driver to dominate statistically. Still, Logano remains at the top of his game, and his equipment is top-notch. That was evident in Saturday’s practice, where Logano posted race-winning speed. However, he qualified 27th due to an early qualifying draw, which prevented him from benefiting from other drivers’ SMT data during the session. This is a top-10 car, and Logano only needs an 11th-place finish to beat his Pick6 number.
Chris Buescher: Fantasy Points – 30.5
Pick6 Play: More
This number seems heavily influenced by Buescher’s track history. The Texan hasn’t raced well in his home state. Texas is unique, but it’s still a cookie-cutter intermediate track. There’s no reason why Buescher can’t be a top-10 driver at this 1.5-mile oval. His RFK Ford was fast in practice. The only concern is the cautions. If Buescher keeps it clean, a top-10 finish is within reach. Starting toward the front will help him avoid the chaotic situations that Texas is becoming known for.

What is DraftKings Pick6?
Pick6 is a peer-to-peer fantasy variant where you build a lineup (your “Pick Set”) of at least two players and select whether or not you believe each will outperform their listed stat projection. Enter your Pick Set in Pick6 contests to compete against other users. Get enough picks correct and win a share of cash prizes.
How to Play
Create a Pick Set
Create a Pick Set by choosing at least two players from the same sport and Pick Group (a set of picks available from a group of set competitions). For each player, simply select if you think they’ll have more or less than their listed stat projection. In each Pick Set, you can not pick the same player twice and you must pick players from at least two different teams.
Enter an Amount
Once you finalize your Pick Set, choose your entry fee amount. Your entries will be automatically distributed into available contests, subject to your confirmation.
Sweat Your Picks
When the games go live, use the My Picks tab to follow your picks in real time to track how your players are performing against their projections and how they stack up against other users.
