NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Charlotte Alsco Uniforms 300 (5/28/22)

The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Charlotte on Saturday for the Alsco Uniforms 300. Sam Mayer will start from the pole, with teammate Justin Allgaier beside him.

Last week, the Xfinity Series was at Texas, where Tyler Reddick gave Big Machine Racing its first Xfinity victory. Fellow Cup Series regular William Byron was second, with Mayer being the highest-finishing driver who was running for Xfinity points.

Here at RotoBaller, we want to help you make informed decisions about your DFS lineups, which is why I'll be breaking down the slates for the Xfinity Series. Let's look at some NASCAR Xfinity DFS lineup picks for the Alsco Uniforms 300 on DraftKings. Be sure to also check out our NASCAR Premium Tools for Xfinity Series including our DFS Lineup Optimizer and powerful Research Station. This slate locks on 5/28/22 at 1:16 p.m. ET.

Ty Gibbs ($11,000) - Starting 36th

We've got a fascinating slate this week. Big names starting in the back. Surprisingly good qualifying runs from guys like Timmy Hill and Stefan Parsons, which shifts some of our projected value plays around. It'll be interesting.

Ty Gibbs is going to be so chalky this week, but that's okay...you don't usually get this kind of place differential upside, with a Gibbs car starting 36th. It might be a tough task to win from this far back, but Ty Gibbs did win in his only Xfinity start at this track, leading 20 laps last year on his way to the victory. He's going to work his way up to the front. The only question is how far up he makes it.

Justin Allgaier ($10,600) - Starting 2nd

Allgaier is my pick to win this race.

The 7 car starts on the outside of the front row beside teammate Sam Mayer. Allgaier's experience here is why I like him more than Mayer. He's never won at Charlotte, but he has five top fives here, including in two of the last three races at this track.

And in 2022, Allgaier was top five at the two most-comparable tracks to Charlotte, finishing fifth at Vegas and fourth at Texas. He led 62 laps at Vegas. This is the year that Allgaier gets that first Charlotte win.

Riley Herbst ($8,500) - Starting 37th

Alright, back to the chalky, place differential plays.

We have Herbst, who starts 37th. He doesn't have the same upside as Gibbs, but he does have a good car under him, with an average finish of 11.1 this season, the best mark of his career. He's already got nine top 10s after having 13 all of last season.

Herbst has run two races at Charlotte, finishing 12th both times. Not a great track for him, but it's solid enough that I have no qualms about playing him on Saturday.

Jeffrey Earnhardt ($7,700) - Starting 38th

And now we get to the third of our "good cars that didn't make a qualifying run" drivers. Earnhardt is in the 26 car from Sam Hunt Racing and doesn't have quite the same upside as Gibbs and Herbst, but he's still someone who should move forward quite a bit on Saturday. He's got three top 20s in four starts for Sam Hunt Racing this year, plus snagged a second at Talladega in a Richard Childress car. He's not the best driver in the world, but he's in top 20 equipment and should run like it.

Ryan Sieg ($7,400) - Starting 22nd

There are some more drivers starting in the 30s that we could target, like Anthony Alfredo, Brandon Brown and Myatt Snider, but I want to pivot to someone who I expect will go overlooked on this slate: Ryan Sieg in the 39 car. He starts 22nd and has an average finish of 13.7 this year, with seven top 10s already.

Now, his intermediate track performance this year is concerning, as he crashed out at both Vegas and Texas. But he ran as high as 11th at Vegas before crashing and at Texas, ran in the top 15 for 30 laps.

CJ McLaughlin ($4,800) - Starting 35th

Also driving a Sieg car, McLaughlin is my favorite of these super, super cheap drivers. He's run three races this year, with two of them being Vegas and Texas. At Vegas, he started 31st and finished 24th. At Texas, he started 36th and finished 25th. Solid results. McLaughlin has top 25 upside from the 35th starting position, making him the best play out of these cheap drivers, especially when some of the value plays qualified way higher than you'd like to see. Sure, it's great for Timmy Hill that he qualified ninth, but there's no way I can justify playing him in fantasy when we know that speed won't last.
