Advent Health 400 DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Kansas this weekend for the Advent Health 400.

Last week at Darlington, Joey Logano won, knocking William Byron out of his way in the closing laps to claim his first victory of the season. Chase Elliott remains the points leader and is 65 points up on Byron. Elliott has been quietly great, with nine top 10s already and the only average finish in the top 10 at 9.3.

Below are my NASCAR DFS lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel this week. This slate locks on May 15 at 3:10 p.m. ET. If you have any questions or want to talk NASCAR, you can find me on Twitter at @juscarts.

 

DFS Lineup Picks - DraftKings, FanDuel

Once you're done reading this article, be sure to also check out all of our other weekly NASCAR DFS articles, rankings and analysis to help you set your optimal DFS lineups. You should also make sure to check out our NASCAR DFS lineup tools for the ultimate combination of DFS tools to help you win big.

 

Denny Hamlin

Starts 18th - DraftKings $10,200 | FanDuel $13,000

While I think you could argue that Kyle Larson, who starts third, is a great play because of the upside for laps led, I think there's enough weirdness in this starting lineup for us to not really chase those points too much.

Hamlin is a three-time winner here whose luck in 2022 hasn't been great. But this is still a Gibbs car with place differential upside at a track where this particular driver has been really good, winning two of the last three races here and leading 50 or more laps in three of the last four Kansas runs. He should be able to work his way up toward the front, though from 18th, it's unclear if he'll be able to move forward enough to contend for the win. We'll see.

 

Joey Logano

Starts 34th - DraftKings $9,600| FanDuel $10,000

This is going to be a race where I target a lot of place differential plays, because there are some good cars in the back and some mediocre cars in the middle of this lineup.

Logano has three wins and 10 top 10s here. He's led 20 or more laps in three of his last four Kansas starts, which includes a 2020 win. It's a good track for last week's winner, who should be able to quickly move up through this field. Chalky play, but sometimes you have to follow the chalk, especially in a head-to-head game.

 

Kevin Harvick

Starts 23rd - DraftKings $8,700 | FanDuel $9,000

Harvick hasn't had the kind of race-winning speed we're used to seeing from him this year, but he's still got a solid average finish of 13.3 despite an average start of 19.7. These Stewart-Haas cars just aren't making speed.

But Harvick is such a smart driver. He can get the most out of this car, which is how he's gotten three top 10s in a row from it.

In terms of comparable tracks, Vegas is the closest we've had this year to Kansas. Harvick was 12th there, moving up from a 25th starting spot.

Brad Keselowski

Starts 30th - DraftKings $7,400 | FanDuel $7,000

Not a great first season for Brad K as a team owner, but he did lead some laps at Vegas, which compares favorably to here. (Note: he did finish 24th in that race, though.)

The 6 has shown some speed at times and no speed at other times. but Kansas is a place where we'd expect Brad to be at his best.  He's won here twice and has 13 top 10s, with an average finish of 11.5. Plus, there's a lot of place differential upside since he starts 30th.

 

Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

Starts 36th - DraftKings $6,800 | FanDuel $5,500

Stenhouse was really struggling for awhile, but he now has top 10s two weeks in a row and seems to be turning a corner.

Will it last? I don't know. This 47 car has really struggled in 2022, with just three top 20 finishes all season. And Kansas has been rough for Stenhouse, with an average finish of 20.2 here with no top 10s in 18 starts.

Still. He starts 36th. The PD upside is just too enticing for me to not play RSJ in some lines.

 

Chris Buescher

Starts 35th - DraftKings $6,700 | FanDuel $5,200

Same upside here as the last two guys, basically: he starts at the back of the field in a car that should be better than a few drivers starting ahead of him. Add in some attrition and you get a nice value play here with Buescher.

It's worth noting that while he didn't make a lap in qualifying, he was ninth in practice. It's also worth noting that he has three top 10s in the Cup Series here, more than at any non-superspeedway track. His average Kansas finish is 18.0 and he was eighth in this race last year, which saw him lead 13 laps.
