NASCAR Truck Series DQS Solutions & Staffing 250 DFS: DraftKings Lineup Picks for Michigan (6/7/25)

Justin's DraftKings DFS lineup picks for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series DQS Solutions & Staffing 250 at Michigan International Speedway. Read his 2025 daily fantasy NASCAR advice and Truck sleepers.

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday afternoon for the DQS Solutions & Staffing 250. The fast 2.0-mile track should provide plenty of exciting on-track action.

Last week, the Truck Series was at Nashville, where Rajah Caruth reminded everyone that he's a very good driver on intermediate tracks, picking up his second career victory in the Craftsman Truck Series.

Let's look at some NASCAR Truck Series DFS lineup picks for the NASCAR Truck Series DQS Solutions & Staffing 250 on DraftKings. Be sure also to check out our NASCAR Premium Tools for Truck Series, including our DFS Lineup Optimizer and powerful Research Station. This slate locks on 6/7/2025 at 12:24 p.m. EDT.

Top Drivers

Corey Heim - $12.0K
Starts Seventh

Qualifying made pretty much no sense. Luke Fenhaus is on the pole, for example. That's not something you ever expect to see.

Could this be setting up a weird race? Maybe! But regardless of how strange it could be, Corey Heim remains the undeniable top DFS play because....well, because he's Corey Heim and he's dominated the 2025 season so far.

It's also worth noting that Heim got some extra track time in Friday's ARCA race. It's a bit of a surprise that he finished second to Brenden Queen instead of dominating, but we're really splitting hairs if we nitpick a runner-up performance.

Carson Hocevar - $10.5K
Starts Second

If anyone's going to dethrone Corey Heim this weekend, it's probably Carson Hocevar, who starts on the outside of the front row.

No offense to polesitter Luke Fenhaus, but Hocevar is far better equipped to take the early lead. He brings significantly more experience on fast tracks and should be able to control the pace of this race early on. The big question will be if he can keep his nose clean and hold off the inevitable charge from Heim.

Ross Chastain - $10.0K
Starts 26th

I'm not really sure why Ross Chastain was so slow in qualifying. He was a solid top-10 truck in practice, but his Niece Motorsports No. 44 just didn't have the right juice on Saturday morning.

Still, Chastain should be able to move up through this field quickly. He has a lot of experience at this track and while that experience hasn't necessarily been good — one top 10 in seven Cup Series starts — it's still a huge advantage over much of this field.

Chandler Smith - $8.8K
Starts 31st

Chandler Smith was one of the fastest drivers in practice, posting the second-best 3-lap average and the sixth-best 20-lap average. Friday made it look like he'd be a contender for the win.

But an issue during his qualifying lap means Smith will fire off way back in 31st place. It's safe to say he's out of the victory conversation with this starting spot, but it's pretty great for fantasy players as Smith now has huge, huge place differential upside in this No. 38 truck.

Mid-Tier NASCAR Trucks DFS Lineup Options

Rajah Caruth - $8.2K
Starts 13th

Last week's winner, Rajah Caruth, starts just 13th, but he should have the speed to get up into the top 10, at the very least. Not only is Caruth usually solid on these kinds of faster tracks, but on Friday he was arguably the best truck in the field during practice. He was fastest in 10-lap, 15-lap, and 20-lap averages. Long green flag runs would be great for Caruth on Saturday.

Layne Riggs - $9.8K
Starts 18th

Layne Riggs didn't have a qualifying run as bad as FRM teammate Chandler Smith, but landing 18th on the starting grid gives him solid upside as far as place differential goes.

One thing that makes me feel confident that the qualifying run was an anomaly is Riggs' performance in practice on Friday. He had good short-run speed (fourth in 3-lap average) and good long-run speed (seventh in 20-lap average).

Grant Enfinger - $9.0K
Starts 14th

Grant Enfinger was really good back when Michigan was last on the Truck Series schedule, finishing in the top 10 in four of his five starts here. In the one race that he wasn't near the front at the end, Enfinger led 38 laps before finding himself in some trouble and finishing 33rd.

Enfinger has run well this season and posted the 10th-best 20-lap average in practice on Friday. His long-run speed will come in handy if we get a relatively clean race.

Corey LaJoie - $9.5K
Starts 24th

After seemingly shutting the door on lower series starts after losing his full-time Cup Series ride, Corey LaJoie appears to have changed his tune just a bit as he steps into the No. 07 for Spire this weekend.

There's definitely some concern here that maybe this qualifying run is indicative of LaJoie not being that good, but the place differential upside outweighs that issue. LaJoie, who has 11 starts here in the Cup Series, starts outside the top 20 in a good truck, so you want exposure, even if the price tag feels a bit high.

Kaden Honeycutt - $8.4K
Starts 16th

Kaden Honeycutt starts 16th after a mediocre qualifying run. I'd expect him to improve over the course of the race, considering he has eight top 10s in 2025, including four in a row heading into Saturday's race.

Tyler Ankrum - $8.0K
Starts 10th

It's been a bit since the Truck Series has been to Michigan, which means much of this field lacks experience here. However, Tyler Ankrum has been around the Truck Series long enough that he raced in the 2020 race here, finishing it in fourth place.

 

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Value Picks

Giovanni Ruggiero - $7.1K
Starts 20th

Because a number of the trucks that would usually be values qualified way better than expected, it's hard to really find true value on this slate. The best lineup approach might be something like Hocevar or Heim plus a lot of mid-range drivers.

Giovanni Ruggiero starts 20th, but his recent performance suggests he has solid upside to finish better than that. His average finish on the year is 13.8, and he's posted a top-15 result in three of the last four races.

Tanner Gray - $7.0K
Starts 23rd

Tanner Gray has a poor qualifying run, putting the No. 15 truck 23rd on the grid for Saturday's race. He's struggling a bit more than expected in 2025, but with an average finish of 17.4, there's at least some place differential upside for Gray.

Jake Garcia - $7.5K
Starts Fourth

Jake Garcia has reached the point where I'm mostly okay playing him regardless of his starting spot. He's had two races where he struggled from a top-five starting spot, but most of the other times he's finished close to where he started. Garcia should be a contender for a top-five finish on Saturday, but even a worst-case (non-crash, at least) would be something like 12th place?

Luke Fenhaus - $6.0K
Starts First

I would normally look at Luke Fenhaus' shocking pole run and immediately fade him. In fact, I still feel really compelled to fade him here.

But the issue is that the drivers under $7K all qualified way too well. In addition to Fenhaus, Matt Crafton, Jack Wood, and Connor Mosack all start in the top 10.

So if we're trying to find a cheap play on this slate, Fenhaus becomes appealing simply because he could theoretically lead laps early on. He probably falls back to around 15th by the end of the race, but you could take a huge risk here on his speed from Saturday morning sticking around on Saturday afternoon.
