NASCAR DFS Picks (Craftsman Truck Series): DraftKings Lineup Plays for TSport 200 at IRP (2025)

Dave's NASCAR DFS Picks (Truck Series) for the TSport 200 at IRP (2025). Read his daily fantasy NASCAR advice and NASCAR Trucks DFS sleepers, values.

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series returns this Friday night after nearly a month break in the action. Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park (IRP) is next on the schedule. The series took an 11-year break from the track but returned in 2022.

Since the series' return, Ty Majeski has been dominant at IRP. He's won the last two races here and is looking to score his third straight victory at the track this weekend. However, series points leader Corey Heim has blown away the competition so far in 2025. He figures to be in contention for the victory as well.

So, how will both of these drivers stack up against the rest of the field? Let's dive in and look at some NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series DFS lineup picks for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series TSport 200 at IRP on DraftKings. Also, make sure to check out our NASCAR Premium Tools for the Craftsman Truck Series, including our DFS Lineup Optimizer and powerful Research Station. Please note, this slate locks on 7/25/25 at 8:15 p.m. EDT.

Top NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series DFS Plays

Corey Heim ($12.5K)

Starts First

Heim has been flat-out dominant this year. He has a series-leading five victories and nine top-five finishes. Heim has also led a series-high 986 laps this year.

While Heim has yet to win at IRP, he has a fifth and eighth-place finish at the track. Over the last three years, he’s also finished inside the top 10 in all but one stage. Heim and his #11 Tricon Garage Toyota are firing on all cylinders in 2025. He’ll have a great chance this weekend to pick up his sixth victory of 2025 as well as his first career win at IRP.

Layne Riggs ($10K)

Starts 11th

Riggs currently sits third in the regular season points standings but is a distant 165 points behind series leader Heim. However, he did score a victory earlier this year at Pocono and has fared well in three IRP starts. He’s finished inside the top 10 in all of his starts at the track and has two top-five finishes as well.

Expect to see Riggs’ name near the top of the leaderboard on Friday night. He’s a good bet for at least another top 10 finish.

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series DFS Fades

Ross Chastain ($11,500)

Starts 12th

Chastain only finished 11th in this race last year. It was his first Truck Series race at IRP since 2011, and Chastain finished 10th in that race. Those are the only starts he’s made at IRP, and he hasn’t led a single lap in either of them.

Chastain is the best driver in the field, but he’s priced as though he’ll be in strong contention for the win. While that’s certainly possible, he doesn’t have a great history at IRP and hasn’t even scored a top-five finish at the track.

It’s never a bad idea to play a Cup series driver punching down in a lower series, but Chastain is the second-highest priced driver this weekend despite having a mediocre history at this track. There are better options to target this weekend.

Mid-Tier NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series DFS Plays

Chandler Smith ($9.8K)

Starts Third

Smith is second in the points standings and is the only driver, other than Heim, with multiple victories this year. He has only one start at IRP, and it resulted in an 18th-place finish back in 2022. However, he finished inside the top eight in the first two stages of that race and led 13 laps before things got away from him in the final stage.

He’s running well this year and is tied for the series lead with 11 top 10s. Smith also has an average finish of 9.4. Expect a good outing from him this weekend.

Ty Majeski ($9.5K)

Starts Second

Majeski has been the man to beat since the series’ return to IRP. He’s finished inside the top 10 in all three of his IRP races and has won the last two Truck Series IRP races as well. Majeski has also led 306 of a possible 607 laps over the last three years at the track.

However, you want to slice, Majeski has been flat-out dominant at IRP.

Majeski has yet to win this year, but he could break through this weekend. He has been a bit inconsistent in 2025; however, it would be wise to include Majeski in your DFS lineups considering his history at this track.

Grant Enfinger ($9.2K)

Starts Eighth

Enfinger has yet to find victory lane this year, but has 10 top tens in 15 races this year. He’s also had 13 top 20s as well. Enfinger is the last driver not named Majeski to visit victory lane at IRP, as he won the Truck Series return to the track in 2022.

The CR7 Motorsports driver finished third and led 71 laps in this race last year. We should see Enfinger post a top-10 finish with a good shot at a top-5 finish. With a bit of luck, he might even score his first victory of the season.

Daniel Hemric ($9K)

Starts Sixth

This weekend will be Hemric’s first career Truck Series start at IRP. That may not sound like a good thing, but he has fared well on the short tracks during his Truck Series career, which is highlighted by a victory at Martinsville this year.

Hemric has also run very well this year. He’s got an average finish of 8.5 (second best among full-time Truck Series drivers) and has finished inside the top 10 in 11 of 15 races. He's a great driver to pair with the heavy hitters.

Tyler Ankrum ($8.5K)

Starts Seventh

Friday night will be Ankrum’s fourth Truck Series start at IRP. He has fourth and sixth-place finishes at the track to go along with a 34th-place finish in 2023. However, Ankrum had an electrical problem in that race, which cut his night short.

Ankrum broke a string of four straight finishes outside the top 10 with a 10th-place finish at Lime Rock Park last month. Before that poor stretch, he had finished inside the top 10 in all but two races.

With momentum possibly back on his side, look for Ankrum to build on last month’s 10th-place finish and post a respectable result this weekend.

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series DFS Value Options

Matt Crafton ($7.8K)

Starts 20th

Crafton arguably has the most experience at IRP in the field this weekend. He has been racing in the Truck Series since 2000 and participated in multiple races at IRP prior to the series' 11-year hiatus from the track. Crafton has never won at IRP, but has three top fives and 10 top 10s in 14 career starts at the track. He also has an average finish of 10.2.

That all makes Crafton an ideal value play this weekend. Depending on how he qualifies, he could also make for a great place differential play. Crafton is a crafty (no pun intended) veteran, and his history at this track warrants a place in lineups.

Rajah Caruth ($6.9K)

Starts 19th

Caruth has finished inside the top 10 in both of his career starts at IRP. He’s also qualified inside the top 10 both times, as well as a career driver rating of 98.2 at the track. Caruth is one of the better value plays on the card this weekend. He’s a great name to pair with some of the favorites, as he should post a solid finish.
