Is Chase Elliott ready to break through to the winner's circle at the 2023 Quaker State 400? The 27-year-old is one of three drivers in the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season with at least seven top-10 finishes but still seeking his first victory. He has the most top-five finishes (five) of those three drivers, who include Chris Buescher and Kevin Harvick. Should you include any of these drivers in your NASCAR DFS picks for the 2023 Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET? Elliott has improved his finish in his last three races from fifth to fourth to third at last weekend's street race in Chicago, potentially making him an alluring option for your NASCAR DFS lineups.
How should this steady improvement be factored in when forming a NASCAR DFS strategy on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel? Before locking in any NASCAR DFS picks for NASCAR at Atlanta 2023, be sure to check out the optimal NASCAR at Atlanta 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), 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).

Top 2023 Quaker State 400 NASCAR DFS picks
For NASCAR at Atlanta, McClure is high on Kyle Busch ($10,500 on DraftKings, $12,500 on FanDuel), who won at World Wide Technology Raceway on June 4. He has five straight top-10 finishes and three victories on the season. Busch leads all drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series with 11 finishes in the top 10 this season.
Busch has more finishes inside the top 10 than outside of it (11 in 18 starts). The 38-year-old is fifth in the NASCAR Cup Series standings and just 31 points behind Martin Truex Jr. Busch has won two Cup Series championships and his 63 Cup Series victories lead all active drivers. Sunday will be his 28th start at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Busch has six top-10 finishes in his last eight races there. He has the career resume and recent success for a sizable return for NASCAR DFS lineups.
Part of McClure's optimal NASCAR DFS strategy also includes rostering Ryan Blaney ($9,700 on DraftKings, $9,500 on FanDuel), who won the Coca-Cola 400 on May 28. Blaney has finished outside the top 30 in his last three races, but prior to that streak, he had seven top-10 finishes over eight races, including his NASCAR at Nashville victory.
The 29-year-old has had career success at Atlanta Motor Speedway, finishing in the top seven in five of his last six races. Blaney suffered a hard crash at Nashville prior to the Chicago street race, marking Sunday as his first return to competition on a traditional racetrack since the accident. Blaney is still inside the top 10 in the NASCAR Cup Series standings due to his successful stretch from mid-April to the end of May and has led 22 laps over his last three races at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
