eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational - Finish Line 150: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks

After one of the most eventful eNASCAR races of the year last Sunday, we're headed to virtual Dover International Speedway (AKA Concrete Jungle, AKA The Monster Mile, AKA Jimmie Johnson's Playground, AKA, etc.) for the Finish Line 150. Alex Bowman secured the bag at Talladega, and even he was shocked at the outcome. He was trailed closely by drivers Corey LaJoie, and Ryan Preece.

While I was very upset that I had to miss "Dega Week" in real life, my spirit was lifted this week when NASCAR announced that they would be returning to racing on May 17th at Darlington Raceway. NASCAR is one of the first major sports to be granted a return, and I believe thanks are in order to North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper for making NASCAR essential (epic move Roy). Things are about to get WILD for us here at RotoBaller, and now is the perfect time for you to check out our NASCAR premium content.

This Sunday at virtual Dover, drivers will be running 150 laps with one reset, and three Green-White-Checkered attempts. Qualifying will be the same as weeks prior, and we will see the return of the Top 10 inversion (which wasn't even inforced last week) along with the Top 3 drivers from the previous race starting from the rear (Bowman, LaJoie, Preece). Before you check out my picks, I want to go on record saying that just because I didn't write about Jimmie Johnson in this article, doesn't mean that I'm telling you not to play him ( homie has had a lot of sweet victories at this track in his career, and he deserves to be celebrated).

DFS Lineup Picks - DraftKings

Be sure to also check out all of our other weekly NASCAR DFS articles and analysis to help you set your optimal DFS lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel. 

Ryan Preece #37 (DraftKings - $10,800 | FanDuel - $10,500 | iRating - 2282 )

Preece has been solid at all but one Pro Invitational race this year, and this week he's finally landed on my radar. I've overlooked him as a main pick for just about every race this season, but with him starting at the rear this week, he should be a key component in lineups on both DraftKings and FanDuel. Preece has one visible practice race on the iRacing server so far this weekend with a first-place finish.

Alex Bowman #88 (DraftKings - $10,000| FanDuel - $8,800 | iRating - NA)

Bowman and his dog have stole the iRacing show on Twitter since we started this series, and all the hard work finally paid off last Saturday for him and Finn. Hendrick has been on a roll with iRacing wins, and Bowman's win proved that he can tango on both racing courts (I'll straight up say he's their best driver at the current moment in the real world). Bowman doesn't have much info on the iRacing server, but I'm putting all the jibbies (Garage Guys Fantasy Sports term for money) on him this Sunday based on his real-life performance at Dover last season, and a back of the pack start.

Ty Dillon #13 (DraftKings - $6,200| FanDuel - $6,600 | iRating - NA )

SOMEBODY GET THIS MAN SOME GEICO BANNERS! I can't help but laugh every time I see Geico Dillon's printer paper advertisements on his wall accompanied by his oversized steering wheel on Sundays, and I'm low key sad we won't get to see that anymore in the near future (savor it while it lasts). When it comes to DFS lineups this week, Dillon makes for a good middle man play compared to others in his price range, and has a history of positive place differential at the real Monster Mile.

William Byron #24 (DraftKings - $13,000 | FanDuel - $16,000 | iRating - 6806 )

I'm pretty tired of writing about Willy B at this point. He is basically the rhyming name memes we see during any sports playoffs throughout the year, and his DFS price reflects it. Byron has already taken part in multiple practice races this week where he is dominating, so in conclusion to this paragraph, Timmy Hill, Mr. Bill, Peterbilt, Dr. Phil, dont matter Willy B in one fitty!

Daniel Suarez #96 (DraftKings - $5,700 | FanDuel - $5,000 | iRating - NA )

After seeing Dale Earnhardt Jr. publically humiliate Suarez on Twitter for being more competitive in Mario Kart than iRacing I decided that I probably wouldn't be starting him in DFS. Now it's time for Dover, and his price is so low that I can't pass him up. Suarez has really good numbers at the real Dover, and with his Top 10 at Talladega, there's hope that he may be a piece to the "Bag A Tourney" puzzle this Sunday.

Kurt Busch #1 (DraftKings - $6,600| FanDuel - $5,500  | iRating - NA)

The real Busch' It has returned to my articles after his Top 10 finish at Dega. Busch has only had two iRaces with positive placement this season, but considering his real-life experience at Dover, he is worth a spot in your lineups this Sunday. Since 2018, Monster Busch has had two Top 5 finishes at this track.

JJ Yeley #52 (DraftKings - $5,000 | FanDuel - $3,000 | iRating - NA  )

Right now you're either asking yourself who JJ Yeley is, or staring at these words and saying to yourself "Oh dang that's sneaky". The Rick Ware Racing driver participated in his first Pro Invitational race last Sunday at Talladega, and scored a total of 34 FPTS. Yeley is going to come in handy for those of you stacking last weeks Top 3 at the rear, and has an actual shot at producing decent if you factor in his average DFS production at the real Dover.

Landon Cassill #89 (DraftKings - $8,200 | FanDuel - $10,500 |  iRating - 3817 )

The Blue Emu juggernaut has been making headlines in the virtual racing world with his finishes in the Pro Invitational (except for that one race at Bristol). Cassill and Parker Kligerman literally ran a 24 Hour race the night before the Geico 70, so you have to give the man some credit after he finished 5th after little to no sleep. Cassill is more valuable on DraftKings this week in terms of pricing, and if he can secure a middle of the pack start, he should put on a show for your lineups.
