DFS NASCAR Advanced Stats for DraftKings, FanDuel: Toyota Owners 400 Lineup Picks

Christopher Bell - NASCAR DFS Picks, Betting Picks, Daily Fantasy NASCAR

Scott Engel uses Loop Data and RotoBaller's NASCAR DFS Research Station tool for DFS insights and analysis for DraftKings and FanDuel DFS lineup picks for the Toyota Owners 400.

My NASCAR “By the DFS Numbers” Race Previews include a combination of statistical markers from Loop Data reports and the RotoBaller NASCAR Cup Series Research Station. Loop Data, which are the advanced statistics that are electronically recorded by NASCAR to accurately illustrate how drivers truly perform, are featured as highly relevant indicators.

Loop Data stats are useful in DFS NASCAR in revealing which drivers have performed the best at certain tracks. They determine how a driver performs without the negative factors of crashes, car issues, and pit problems.

The NASCAR Research Station is one of our most important features in the RotoBaller NASCAR Season Pass package. It is a deluxe suite of advanced NASCAR statistics that can help you identify the top drivers and value plays for ideal lineup constructions every week. It includes historical, recent, and projected stats, along with Loop Data.

Toyota Owners 400 Loop Data And Research Station Overview

If you want to work on your fantasy NASCAR setup with all the best statistical tools, the Research Station is your numerical garage for DraftKings and FanDuel lineup building. Get access to the Research Station with the RotoBaller NASCAR Season Pass. Enter promo code KING at checkout for an additional discount. We also have Research Stations for the Xfinity and Truck Series.

Drivers are listed in order of preference for lineup usage based on their pricing tiers. All Loop Data stats cover the last four events at Richmond Raceway unless otherwise noted. We use DraftKings prices as a basis, but most of what is recommended should also be applied to FanDuel lineup builds. Selected Research Station indicators are highlighted in italics.
