The eighth race of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season will take place Sunday evening with the 2023 Food City Dirt Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Kyle Larson clinched his first win of the season at Richmond Raceway last week, which makes him one of the popular NASCAR DFS picks. Tyler Reddick is also one of the top additions to NASCAR DFS lineups after nearly winning at this track last year. There have only been two previous races on the dirt at Bristol, leaving a limited amount of data to work with when forming 2023 Food City Dirt Race DFS strategy.
Defending champion Kyle Busch is hoping to win the race for the second straight year. Should you back the veteran in your 2023 Food City Dirt Race DFS lineups? Before locking in any NASCAR DFS picks for NASCAR at Bristol, be sure to check out the optimal NASCAR at Bristol DFS strategy and advice from SportsLine's Mike McClure.
McClure has won almost $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), Joey Logano's Duel win (8-1), and Kyle Busch's Fontana victory (10-1). Then last week 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 Kyle Larson's wins during his historic season in 2021. All told, the model has nailed a whopping nine winners since 2021. Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks saw huge returns.
Now, he's turned his attention to Sunday's 2023 Food City Dirt Race at Bristol. He's only sharing his picks and NASCAR DFS driver pool here.
Top 2023 Food City Dirt Race NASCAR DFS picks
For NASCAR at Bristol, McClure is high on Joey Logano, the reigning Cup Series champion. He might not be considered a dirt-racing expert, but no one has more experience racing on the Bristol dirt. Logano is running double duty at Bristol again this weekend, giving him plenty of opportunities to get into a rhythm on the surface.
He also has past success to rely on, winning the 2021 race and finishing third in 2022, giving him the best average finishing position at this track. Logano won at Atlanta Motor Speedway last month before gaining 11 spots from his starting position at Richmond. He has the current form and past experience to contend on Sunday, making him one of McClure's favorite NASCAR DFS drivers this week.
Part of McClure's optimal NASCAR DFS strategy also includes rostering Tyler Reddick, who led 99 laps last year. He was two turns away from winning the race before getting spun out, so he will be motivated to make amends with a victory on Sunday. Reddick also finished seventh in the inaugural edition in 2021, giving him one of the top average finishing positions in the field.
He is in good form this season as well, posting three top-five finishes in the last four weeks. Reddick came in third place at Phoenix Raceway and notched a win at Circuit of The Americas to go along with a fifth-place finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway. His experience on dirt and his current form makes him a strong option in the NASCAR DFS driver pool. See which other drivers to roster here.
