NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Kansas Lottery 300 (9/9/23)

Justin Carter's DraftKings DFS lineup picks for the NASCAR Xfinity Series Kansas Lottery 300. Read his daily fantasy NASCAR advice and Xfinity sleepers.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Kansas this weekend for the final race before the playoffs begin. Starting this weekend, drivers running for Cup Series points won't be able to run Xfinity races, increasing the competition since we won't see the Kyle Busch and A.J. Allmendingers of the world dropping down to dominate.

Last weekend at Darlington, Cup Series regular Denny Hamlin won the Xfinity Series race, with Austin Hill finishing second. Hill currently holds a 23-point lead over John Hunter Nemechek in the battle for the regular season championship.

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 Kansas Lottery 300 on DraftKings. Be sure to also check out our NASCAR Premium Tools for Xfinity Series including our DFS Lineup Optimizer and powerful Research Station. This slate locks on 9/9/23 at 3:32 p.m. ET.

Justin Allgaier - $10,800

Starts 1st

Polesitter Justin Allgaier should be considered the favorite on Saturday. While he's never won here, he has a top five in 30.8% of his Kansas starts and a top 10 in 76.9% of them. This includes five consecutive top 10s, including a second-place finish here last year.

This season, Allgaier has been really good on intermediate tracks. He was second at Vegas and then was the winner at Charlotte. And track position should matter a lot on Saturday as well. In this race last year, the first 47 laps were led by a driver who started on the front row.

 

Sam Mayer - $9,800

Starts 13th

Sam Mayer's a solid place differential play for this one, as he qualified just outside of the top 10 but has top-five upside. He's finished in the top 10 in both of his starts at this track and has found some extra speed this season.

He's run well on intermediate tracks this year, including a third-place finish at Nashville. And overall, Mayer has a top-five finish in five of the last seven races, with a pair of wins in that span. I look for him to end the regular season with a strong run.

 

Brandon Jones - $9,000

Starts 4th

Brandon Jones' first season with JR Motorsports has been a disaster. There's no way to sugarcoat this. After five consecutive top 10 finishes in the point standings, Jones sits 14th right now. He can't make the playoffs unless he wins this race.

But, uhh...what if he wins this race? He qualified fourth on Saturday morning, showcasing that this car has speed. And he's also got a really good track record here. Jones has five career wins in the Xfinity Series. Two of those are at Kansas. It's the only track where he has multiple victories.

This is my bold call of the race, and I'll put some money where my mouth is on my betting app. Jones scores a walk-off victory on Saturday.

Derek Kraus - $8,200

Starts 18th

Derek Kraus joined Kaulig on a part-time schedule this year and is set to make his fifth start of the season for the team. He finished in the top 10 in his first two, then crashed at Talladega and finished 20th at Dover.

So, two-for-three for top 10s in races he finished? Considering Talladega's such a crapshoot, I take that as a good sign. I was worried about Kraus in Xfinity because his Truck Series career was really hit or miss, but he's impressed.

This 11 car will fire off from 18th on Saturday. There's a decent bit of place differential upside here with Kraus.

 

Parker Retzlaff - $7,500

Starts 26th

Retzlaff is having a solid season in this 31 car for Jordan Anderson Racing. He more than likely won't be in the playoffs, but he sits a solid 16th in points with six top 10s and an average finish of 18.6.

Among his better performances—a sixth-place result at Charlotte, a track that shares some characteristics with Kansas. And then a 10th at Nashville, another of these intermediate speedways. He also comes into this race on a nice run, with top-15 finishes in four of the past six races.

 

C.J. McLaughlin - $4,700

Starts 38th

C.J. McLaughlin has had middling results this year, but that's largely because he's made all his starts in the Emerling-Gase 53 car. This 28 car for RSS Racing is a clear step up from the car he's been driving. The team has a win at Sonoma with Aric Almirola driving, and Kyle Sieg had a top 10 at Atlanta.

I don't expect McLaughlin to contend for a win or a top 10 or anything like that. I'm not trying to get wild here. But this is a car that can sneak into the bottom of the top 20 if things go right, or at least into the top 25. At $4,700, he's worth throwing in some lineups to see what happens.
