The Sway Bar: NASCAR Draftkings Plays, Fades and Values for the Darlington 2019

That seemed like a REALLY long off week, didn’t it? Thank goodness we are back to racing for this throwback weekend!As alwayss, the research is just getting started, so think about getting signed up and get exclusive access to our projection model, the domination station lineup optimizer, and most importantly, direct chat room access to some of the sharpest NASCAR minds in the industry. I will be on there all weekend updating everyone on my research.

Top Plays

Kyle Busch – KB has a bit of a tumultuous weekend, culminating with the team switching engines. So well that may be small cause for concern, it is just not wise to fade a Kyle Busch that starts 33rd. Darlington is a good track for him, and so long as the car holds up, KB should hit value without much trouble.

Martin Truex Jr – This may represent my favorite play of the weekend. MTJ has super consistent speed, which is a real key to victory at Darlington. He starts 22nd, which gives us lots of potential differential, and most importantly – MTJ is a proven winner here. I think MTJ gets out front at some point and competes for a win.

Denny Hamlin – Hamlin has been priced up this week, and for good reason. He has been on an absolute tear as of late, and rolls into one of his better tracks. He pretty clearly has a top two car, and while his 9th place starting spot represents something of a fantasy “dead zone”, I think Hamlin leads a good chunk of the 500 miles we run tomorrow evening.

Erik Jones – I am hoping this is somewhat of a sneaky pick, because Erik Jones could easily make the optimal this weekend. He has a super fast long run car, and Darlington has been good to him in his two cup starts. He starts 15th, which offers a small amount of differential potential – which is all we need so long as Erik Jones makes his way into the top five.

Worth Mentioning

Kevin Harvick and Kyle Larson are both good plays, and represent good pivots off of Joe Gibbs Racing. I think Larson will be a tad chalky, though.

Value Plays

William Byron – Byron is priced way too low here. I don’t think Byron wins this race, or even dominates it. However, I think he has enough short run speed to lead the first handful of laps and compete for a top ten, which could get us a good amount of FPTS for $7100.

Aric Almirola – Almirola starts way back in 30th, which makes him a great play by default. Darlington has never been a great track for him, but the car alone should be able to boost him into a top 15 finish.

Ty Dillon – I don’t love this play, but I think it is your best bet at this price range. Dillon has had some decent enough runs at Darlinton to make him viable, even though his practice speed was just okay.

Matt Tifft – Punt of the week. I would look elsewhere though, this is more of a “war of attrition” type play.

So there it is folks. We will be talking more strategy on the DFS Army Slack Room right up until lock. Get signed up and get exclusive access to our projection model, the domination station lineup optimizer, and most importantly, direct chat room access to some of the sharpest NASCAR minds in the industry. As always, use my research as a launching point for yours. Trust your process, good luck this week, and let’s make some cash.
