NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Preview for Tennessee Lottery 250 (6/29/24)

The NASCAR Xfinity Series is in Nashville this weekend for the Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville Superspeedway. Last year, AJ Allmendinger led for 25 laps and took the win here. Riley Herbst, Sam Mayer, Austin Hill and Josh Berry rounded out the top five.

Heading into this race, Cole Custer holds a 15-point lead over Chandler Smith in the battle for the regular season championship. Justin Allgaier, Austin Hill and Sheldon Creed currently make up the top five, while two drivers with multiple wins are in 10th (Sam Mayer) and 12th (Shane Van Gisbergen).

Possible top games

Note: This is written before qualification. I will try to post some post-qualification thoughts on X later.

Ty Gibbs ($11.5K)

Ty Gibbs started in the top three in all three Xfinity Series starts this year, but he failed to run a full race, finishing 24th, 9th and 35th. Still, he’s a former series champion in one of the best cars in the field, so expect him to be in the running most of the time when he drops down to the Xfinity Series. He led 28 laps here last year but was eliminated in an accident.

Justin Allgaier ($11,000)

Justi Allgaier couldn’t find the speed he needed here in 2023, but he dominated the 2022 race, leading 134 of 188 laps on his way to victory. That was the fifth time in nine starts here that Allgaier has finished fifth or better.

Chandler Smith ($10.5K)

Chandler Smith looks like a title contender, having won twice already and sitting second in the standings. He finished just 12th here in 2023, but led 74 of the 196 laps. He also led 48 laps in the 2021 Truck Series race at this track, but finished 13th. Smith was fast in Nashville; perhaps this is the year he puts it together with a strong finish.

Possible mid-tier options

Noah Gragson ($9.5k)

Okay, that’s a pretty packed section here. With the Xfinity field being really strong this season and the number of Cup drivers dwindling this weekend, we have a situation where lineup construction should be a lot of fun, assuming qualifying plays along and we don’t have too much obvious chalk left.

Noah Gragson steps into Rette Jones Racing’s No. 30, which is essentially a third Stewart-Haas car. In his final start of the season, Gragson qualified 18th at Charlotte and finished 10th, earning him 46 fantasy points.

Ross Chastain ($9.3k)

You have to admire Ross Chastain for dropping down to the Xfinity class to drive a car that isn’t elite. That limits his chances of winning a race, but Chastain scored 55 fantasy points in his first start of the season at Iowa, starting 28th and finishing ninth.

Carson Kvapil ($8.8k)

Carson Kvapil will be making his fifth start for JR Motorsports this season. In the previous four races, his best starting position was 12th, but he has three top-five finishes in the four races. If the qualifying trend continues, there is a chance to gain some position advantage here.

Austin Hill ($8.5k)

The overall competitiveness this season leaves Austin Hill a bit behind last year, with his average finish dropping from 9.0 to 11.6. Still, he is fourth in the point standings and has earned a top-10 finish in over half of the races so far. Hill has made three starts here in the Xfinity Series, with his worst finish being a ninth-place finish in 2021 while in the No. 61 Hattori car.

Riley Fall ($8,000)

This track has been really good for Riley Herbst. Although he has never led a lap at Nashville, he has three top-10 finishes in three starts, including a second-place finish here in 2023. Don’t be surprised if Herbst wins his first race of 2024 this weekend.

Potential value options

AJ Allmendinger ($7.5k)

The drop off for Kaulig Racing this year is pretty steep, as AJ Allmendinger has a 15.3 average finish. His last full-time season in 2022? A 6.6 average finish. Still, he has seven top-10 finishes and comes to a track where he has one win and another top-5 finish. In his other start here, he led 48 laps but finished 16th.

Parker Kligerman ($7,1000)

Parker Kligerman has had a strong year in the No. 48 car. He has seven top-10 finishes and is ninth in the standings. He led 22 laps in this race last season and finished 11th. He has also had top-10 finishes here in two of his Truck Series starts.

Brennan Poole ($5.5k)

Brennan Poole has been really solid all year for Alpha Prime Racing, averaging a 19.3 finish and finishing in the top 20 in three of the last four races.

Kyle Victory ($5,2000)

If you’re looking for a real hidden gem here, Kyle Sieg has finished in the top 25 in four of the last five races. In three of those, he started 32nd or worse. Provided he puts in another poor qualifying performance, he has potential.
