NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Darlington Sport Clips

The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Darlington on Saturday as the regular season winds down. Just two races remain before the playoffs begin, with this race on Saturday and next week’s race at Kansas. Two more chances for drivers to win their way into the playoffs.

This is the second Xfinity Series race at Darlington this season. Back in May, Cup Series regular Kyle Larson dipped down into the series and won here, while Justin Allgaier was the highest-finished Xfinity regular in second place. John Hunter Nemechek led 57 laps and finished fifth.

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 Xfinity Series. Let’s look at some NASCAR Xfinity DFS lineup picks for the NASCAR Xfinity Series Sport Clips 200 on DraftKings.

Kyle Larson – $11,300

Starts 12th

Bit of an unexpectedly poor qualifying run for Larson. This is his fourth Xfinity start in the 17 car over the past two seasons, and his previous worst start was seventh. But hey—that just gives him a little place differential upside for Saturday’s race.

Larson won the first Darlington race this season, driving the 10 car for Kaulig Racing. He led 46 laps in that one on his way to the victory. He led 53 laps and finished third at Sonoma in his other Xfinity Series start this season.

This isn’t necessarily one of Larson’s best tracks as he’s never won here in the Cup Series, but he has led 100-plus laps in three Cup Series starts with five top fives in 11 starts. He and Denny Hamlin should be the favorites to win, but in DFS I like Larson more because of place differential.

John Hunter Nemechek – $10,300

Starts 1st

Nemechek led a race-high 57 laps in the race here earlier this season, but ended up finishing fifth. This race can provide some redemption for Nemechek, who is on the pole just like he was back in May.

While he finished fifth, he led 17 of the final 18 laps. And he was leading on the final lap before contact with Kyle Larson led to this:

With a chance to lead laps early and contend for the win, Nemechek is my favorite play among the Xfinity Series regulars in the field. I like him even more than Justin Allgaier, even though Allgaier has the better track record here.

Cole Custer – $9,800

Starts 4th

Custer’s an intriguing bet to win this on…
