NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Atlanta Vet Tix Camping
- Advertisement -
This Saturday, we’ve got a NASCAR double feature, with both the Truck and Xfinity Series running races at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
The first race on that docket is the Trucks. Like we had at Charlotte, this race has an extended field of 40 trucks, eight more than the usual 32 that take the green in this series. The race also features Kyle Busch, and while he’s not coming from the back of the pack this time, he’s still Kyle Busch, so he has a great chance of winning.
Here at RotoBaller, we want to help you make informed decisions about your DFS lineups, which is why I’ll be breaking down the slates for the Truck Series. Let’s look at some NASCAR Truck Series DFS lineup picks for the Vet Tix Camping World 200 on DraftKings. (And if any other DFS providers want to start doing Trucks, we’ll do those too!)

Ross Chastain #42 ($11,300)
Starting 27th
For the second Truck race in a row, I’m going to be constructing a roster that doesn’t feature Kyle Busch. I just don’t think he has quite the advantage in this series as he does in Xfinity, especially when he’s pulling off the grid in sixth, severely limiting his upside for place differential points.
That’s where Chastain comes into play. He starts way back in 27th for this one in the Niece Motorsports 42 truck. Last year, he took a Niece truck from a 21st starting spot to a sixth-place finish in this race, and one of his three wins last season came at a 1.5-mile track. He doesn’t have any DNFs on 1.5 milers this year or last year and in that time frame has posted the fourth-best driver rating on this kind of track.
Chastain doesn’t have the speed to consistently give you fastest laps, but he does rank in the top 12 in both early and late run speed. He should be able to make his way towards the front in this one and is a great option if you don’t want to pay up for Kyle Busch.
John Hunter Nemechek #8 ($10,600)
Starting 29th
Another good driver who is starting pretty far back, Nemechek won this race back on 2016, starting 18th and leading eight laps on his way to the win. In his other Truck Series start here, he crashed out, finishing 29th.
We don’t have a long track record to draw from for Nemechek at Atlanta and we don’t have much to work with about his truck this year as he’s run just one race in the series, but that race was at a 1.5-mile…
