Is Denny Hamlin Worth Rostering in DFS for San Diego?
Denny Hamlin of Joe Gibbs Racing will start in the 26th position for this week's NASCAR Cup Series race at Naval Base Coronado, the Anduril 250 Race the base. This is Hamlin's first starting position outside of the top 25 at a road or street course since the 2025 Chicago Street Race Cup event. In 63 races at road and street courses in his Cup career, Hamlin has one win and 42 top-20 finishes. Through 16 races so far in the 2026 season, Hamlin has four wins, 11 top-10 finishes, and an average finish of 7.8. In practice for this week's race, Hamlin ranked 30th in overall lap averages and 22nd in five consecutive lap averages. Hamlin's starting position is far back enough that he can be considered a decent and playable DFS option with potential upside if others crash or have problems. The No. 11 Toyota driver is also preferred for FanDuel lineups with a salary of $5,200, which provides plenty of cap flexibility.
