Toyota 500: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

After an incredibly historic race on Sunday, NASCAR gets ready for round two at Darlington with the Toyota 500. There were some intense moments at The Real Heroes 400, and some unexpected performances from certain drivers. To top it off, FOX Sports reported that over six million people tuned in to Sunday's race (almost as much as the Daytona 500).

Looking ahead to Wednesday, one important thing to note is that the Top 20 in Sunday's race will be inverted for the Toyota 500. Ryan Preece will be leading the field from the pole position followed by Ty Dillon in second. This will be the pair's best starting positions in their cup series careers.

Tyler Reddick, and John Hunter Nemechek proved that Front Row Motorsports, and Richard Childress Racing don't have much of an equipment issue after all. Both drivers finished inside the Top 10, and Nemechek brought Front Row Motorsports its best finish at Darlington in history. Looking to Wednesday's race, there are so many great NASCAR DFS lineup picks on the board so you'll want to be sure to get a little bit of everyone listed below.

DFS Lineup Picks - DraftKings, FanDuel

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. 

Kevin Harvick #4 (DraftKings $11,600 | FanDuel $13,200 | DK SportsBook +400)

After his victory on Sunday, it's safe to say that Harvick will be another killer play on Wednesday. The last start Harvick had at Darlington near 20th was back in 2018 where he started 22nd and finished in 4th place. Look for at least a Top 10 finish from the Stewart Haas vet.

Matt Kenseth #42 (DraftKings $7,600 | FanDuel $7,200 | DK SportsBook +3000)

Kenseth showed us that time away from a cup car doesn't mean a damn thing when your name is Matt Kenseth. Kenseth gained two spots in Sunday's race, and it's important to note that Larson was a known front runner at this track in the same car. With tough choices to make for Wednesday, Kenseth may be the diamond in the rough that pulls out a Top 5 or better.

Jimmie Johnson #48 (DraftKings $9,100 | FanDuel $10,000 | DK SportsBook +1800)

Johnson was literally a volatile stock on the market Sunday. The man was absolutely killing it until making a mistake, and costing himself a checkered flag finish (and possibly increasing Buescher's alertness, and stress by 1000). Johnson will be starting from P37, and although we know he'll be heavily owned, you have to love the thought of place differential with a Hendrick Motorsports car that far back.

Tyler Reddick #8 (DraftKings $7,700 | FanDuel $6,700 | DK SportsBook +5000)

Reddick put on one hell of a show during NASCAR's return, and now I have the confidence to play him a little higher in the starting grid. Reddick will be hitting the track in P14 on Wednesday, and he should easily be able to hold his own, and possibly sneak back into the Top 10 (as long as we dont see a Phoenix repeat). Play Reddick some, but dont go insanely overboard.

Martin Truex Jr. #19 (DraftKings $11,100 | FanDuel $11,500 | DK SportsBook +800)

You already know I had to whip it back around to MTJ. Truex Jr. was loose as a goose (dont get me started) early in the race on Sunday, but thigs corrected themselves towards race end, and he delivered that Top 10 finish. Truex Jr. will be starting from the same position (P15) as he did on Sunday, so lets run it back for round two.

Cole Custer #41 (DraftKings $6,600 | FanDuel $6,800 | DK SportsBook +15000)

I hope you guys are ready for that Custard because today I welcome Cole Custer to his first-ever race pick appearance (no pressure Cole). Custer didn't have the best day on Sunday, but we need some change going into Wednesday. Custer has done well at Darlington in the Xfinity Series, and he seems confident that some kinks have been worked out as he prepares to start in P22 on Wednesday.

Joey Logano #22 (DraftKings $9,400 | FanDuel $12,200 | DK SportsBook +1100)

Logano was another driver who seemed to struggle on Sunday, but this team, and driver should be able to adjust quickly to have Logano be an early lap leader starting in P3 on Sunday. His odds, and DK salary are also a plus when it comes to getting the most out of your lineups on Wednesday. Even if Logano doesn't win, I'm fairly certain he will be a factor in the top lineup on both sites.

Denny Hamlin #13 (DraftKings $10,700 | FanDuel $12,500 | DK SportsBook +800)

Hamlin is another guy that I didnt see being a huge factor on Sunday, but his hunger for the win, and best friend Michael Jordan probably calling him, and talking trash when he dosent is all the motivation I need to play him on Wednesday (I mean have you watched The Last Dance?). Hamlin rolls off from P16, and could be an early dart to the Top 5. I'm looking to pair him with Logano, and Harvick in most my lineups to act as my two dom drivers on the track.
