Our daily fantasy (DFS) NASCAR expert gives the best lineup picks for DraftKings success with the Cup Series' Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International ...

He finished fourth at the 2020 Daytona 500, and he picked up another top 10 at the 500 this year in eighth. Wallace also has three top fives in the last four starts at the 2.5-mile oval, including a runner-up finish in this year's Daytona 500. He's the most recent non-Ford winner at Daytona in 2020, and he led the most laps at Atlanta in March and Talladega in April, winning the former. It is the only one in the Cup Series where he has scored multiple top-five finishes, posting a trio of second-place results. He's NASCAR's hottest driver at the moment, leaving it hard to bet against him becoming a top contender once again on Saturday night. In addition, Hendrick Motorsports showed its muscle at Talladega in April, putting three cars inside the top 10. Also, take a look at which drivers are competing for a playoff spot versus those solidly in the field. Additionally, drivers can earn a point for each position they gain on the track (relative to where they start). The Blue Ovals enter with three straight wins at the track with three different drivers, a streak that began at the 2021 Daytona 500 with Michael McDowell. In addition, newly reconfigured Atlanta Motor Speedway has produced competition this year that's similar to the pack racing found at those two facilities. Due to the length and construction of the track, it is one of two ovals on the NASCAR schedule where speeds are artificially restricted. Let [Stephen Stumpf](http://www.twitter.com/Stephen_Stumpf) of [Frontstretch.com](http://Frontstretch.com) set for the race Saturday night (7 p.m., NBC) and ready to cash in with your six-driver roster.

Will Saturday's NASCAR Coke Zero Sugar 400 (7 p.m. ET, NBC) at Daytona International Speedway be exciting, intense and unpredictable? Yup!

He’s followed by a slew of drivers at 12-1, including Bubba Wallace, Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Larson and Joey Logano. They could certainly delay or even postpone the Coke Zero Sugar 400. ET through the next few hours.

Kyle Busch starting 22nd is such a slam dunk option that it will be prudent to fade him in a couple of lineups. I still prefer Blaney due to track history, but this battle will be worth watching from beginning to end. Kyle Busch Here is a look at some of the Coke Zero Sugar 400 values on both sites. There’s no better time than now to give it a try! Based on that, the Top 10 will look like this:

Kyle Larson became the seventh NASCAR Cup Series driver to win two races this season with his victory last weekend at Watkins Glen.

Part of McClure's NASCAR DFS strategy also includes rostering Bubba Wallace ($7,800 on DraftKings and $12,500 on FanDuel). Blaney does have a feather in his cap this season after winning the 2022 NASCAR All-Star Race, but that doesn't factor into his potential to join the playoff field. For NASCAR at Daytona, McClure is high on Ryan Blaney ($10,000 on DraftKings and $13,500 on FanDuel). Blaney won last year's Coke Zero Sugar 400 and finished fourth at this year's Daytona 500. Larson will try to make up for his disappointing results in NASCAR at Daytona races earlier this year, when he held the pole in the Bluegreen Vacations Duel 2 and the Daytona 500, but finished seventh and 32nd, respectively.

Here's a look at the drivers that have already punched their tickets to the playoffs, along with their current projected playoff points. Each win during the regular season is worth five playoff points and stage wins are worth one. The first tiebreaker is the best finish of the year. Blaney, who won the race last year, has the best odds among the field to win at +1200 and Truex has the third-best odds in the group at +2000. That's largely because if any of the 14 drivers that have already won a race win again, there are no other drivers that could pass Blaney or Truex based on points. If anyone from that list not named Blaney or Truex wins the race, it starts to get a bit more interesting. Here's a look at the full list of drivers that are still eligible to reach the playoffs: The best finish Blaney could have and still miss the playoffs would be 27th, if Truex places second. If neither driver wins a stage during the race, Truex could finish no lower than 10th and advance past Blaney. There are already 14 drivers that have punched their ticket to the playoffs. Bubba Wallace has the second-best odds to win at Daytona and punch his ticket to the postseason with odds of +1300.

As rain began to fall at the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona on Sunday, a crash at the head of the race on lap 138 led to a pileup and red flag with just 21 ...

A victory would clinch Dillon a spot in the field, and if the race can’t be continued, Martin Truex Jr. [he said](https://twitter.com/Noah_Lewis1/status/1563933530106859521). [said](https://twitter.com/MattWeaverRA/status/1563929957084155904).

Austin Dillon avoided the Big One and scurried to the lead late, scoring a clutch win at Daytona that sends him to the Cup Series Playoffs.

The chaos began early when Blaney and others collided on Lap 31 at the exit of Turn 2, putting a sharp, early focus on the points battle. At Lap 102, Truex suffered damage in another multicar crash, receiving left-side contact from Ross Chastain after Michael McDowell spun near the head of the field. Truex fell to eighth at the checkered flag. Both drivers were involved in accidents in Sunday’s event, and Blaney seemed to suffer the more significant damage at Lap 31 that hampered his No. Blaney was sent right-front-first into the outside SAFER barrier and was significantly slowed for the remainder of the race. As a result, Ryan Blaney scored the final position in the playoff grid, edging Martin Truex Jr.
