Ross Chastain is one of only four drivers to lead more than 400 laps this season. Yet, he's not one of the five drivers with multiple victories on the year. Even though he hasn't always taken home the top prize, Chastain's four races leading at least 90 laps have led to strong NASCAR DFS results. Should you consider putting Chastain and his ability to find the front of the pack in a race in your NASCAR DFS lineups for the 2023 FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway, which is scheduled for Sunday at 2:30 p.m. ET?
Chastain is seventh in the Cup Series standings and one of the most consistent drivers for NASCAR DFS lineups. Despite his 447 laps led this season, the 30-year-old hasn't led a lap in his previous five races. How should you factor this into your NASCAR DFS strategy? Before locking in any NASCAR DFS picks for NASCAR at Michigan 2023 on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out the optimal NASCAR at Michigan DFS strategy and advice from SportsLine's Mike McClure.
McClure has won over $2 million in his career as a daily Fantasy pro, and his NASCAR DFS driver pool, projections and advice can help you score a big win on Sunday.
McClure's model is off to a red-hot start this season, already nailing Martin Truex Jr.'s Clash win (20-1) as well as his win in New Hampshire (11-2), Joey Logano's Duel win (8-1), Kyle Busch's Fontana victory (10-1), Denny Hamlin's triumph in Kansas (6-1) and Kyle Larson's wins at Martinsville (6-1) and the NASCAR All-Star Race (13-2). In Austin, it listed Tyler Reddick as one of its best values and he went on to win for a 10-1 payout. It also impressively nailed five of Larson's wins during his historic season in 2021. All told, the model has nailed a whopping 13 winners since 2021. Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks saw huge returns.
Now, he's turned his attention to Sunday's FireKeepers Casino 400. He's only sharing his picks and NASCAR DFS driver pool here.
Top 2023 FireKeepers Casino 400 NASCAR DFS picks
For NASCAR at Michigan, McClure is high on Ty Gibbs ($8,100 on DraftKings, $7,500 on FanDuel), who has finished in the top 15 in his last two races. Gibbs placed fifth at Pocono Raceway on July 23 for his second top-five result in 38 career Cup Series races.
Gibbs, riding in the No. 54, is in his first year racing full-time for Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota after winning seven races and taking the Xfinity Series championship in 2022. He is Joe Gibbs' grandson, but his driving has proven he's worthy of joining one of the top teams. The 20-year-old will make his debut at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday, but his eight top-10 finishes in 23 starts this season prove he's quickly adapting to new tracks. He's a driver who could significantly outperform his price tag on Sunday.
Part of McClure's optimal NASCAR DFS strategy also includes rostering Martin Truex Jr. ($10,500 on DraftKings, $13,000 on FanDuel), who is coming off his third straight top-10 finish after placing seventh at the Cook Out 400 last Sunday. He has led at least one lap in six of his last seven races, including 18 at the Cook Out 400 to earn valuable NASCAR DFS points. He won two of those races.
The NASCAR Cup Series points leader is one of only three drivers with at least three victories this season, and his 12 top-10 finishes only trail Kyle Busch (13). Truex won the Cup Series in 2017 and could be on his way to doing so again this season, as he currently holds a 39-point lead over Hamlin. The 43-year-old has six straight top-10 finishes at Michigan International Speedway and eight top-10 results in his last 10 races there. See which other drivers to roster here.
