NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Nashville Tennessee Lottery 250 (6/24/23)

Justin Carter's DraftKings DFS lineup picks for the NASCAR Xfinity Series Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville Superspeedway. Read his daily fantasy NASCAR advice and Xfinity sleepers.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Nashville on Saturday afternoon for the Tennessee Lottery 250. Last year, Justin Allgaier dominated this race, leading 134 of 188 laps on his way to the win. He battled with A.J. Allmendinger for much of the race, who led 48 laps but fell to 16th after some pit strategy backfired.

Entering this race, John Hunter Nemechek is the Xfinity Series points leader. He's up by just four points over Austin Hill, while Allgaier is third, 25 points back. Cole Custer is fourth, 59 points behind Nemechek. No other driver is within 100 points of the leader.

John Hunter Nemechek

Starting 21st - $10,800

Some good place differential here for the points leader, who posted a poor qualifying run by his standards and will fire off from 21st. Nemechek finished 16th last race, but before that, he'd run off four top 10s in a row, with three of those being top fives.

Nemechek has run the Truck Series race here the past two seasons, finishing in the top 10 in both races. That includes a 2021 showing where he started 34th and ultimately ended up 10th, proving he can move through the field at this track.

Cole Custer

Starting 1st - $10,200

Track position is a big deal at Nashville, and that's why I think Custer should be viewed as the favorite to win this race post-qualifying.

Last year, A.J. Allmendinger was on the outside pole. He led the first 18 laps and ultimately led 48 throughout the race. A pit strategy that backfired put him a lap down by the end of the race, but we saw track position was important.

In 2021, Kyle Busch started on pole and dominated, leading 122 of the 189 laps. Austin Cindric, the outside polesitter, led 53 laps, but crashed out and finished 32nd.

That brings us to this year's front row, with Custer and Chandler Smith. One of those guys probably leads a lot of laps, and I feel more confident predicting that guy to be Custer. He's run well lately, including winning at Portland earlier this month.

Sheldon Creed

Starting 19th - $8,600

Starting 19th, Creed offers a decent amount of place differential upside from a driver who has had some good runs this year, with six top 10s through the first 14 races of the season.

Creed had some bad luck here last year, as he finished 36th after crashing out of the event. He ran as high as seventh in the race, but also just had 31 laps in the top 15, so not great. Still, this RCR team has made some major strides since last year, with Creed's average start and average finish both going up multiple places. He was 14th in points last year, and is seventh now.

Daniel Hemric

Starting 33rd - $7,800

Hemric is the most obvious mid-range place differential play in this field as he rolls off the grid from the 33rd position.

This hasn't been the 2021 champion's best season, as his 15.8 average finish is his worst since 2020. But he still has six top 10, and his average finish is essentially 17 spots higher than his starting spot. You kind of have to have some exposure just for that.

His Nashville track history isn't great, as he has finishes of 13th and 17th, but he also had some bad luck in that one, including a speeding penalty that really hurt his chances.

Kyle Weatherman

Starting 32nd - $6,300

There's a couple value guys I really like this week, which makes it easier to load up on a couple of the $10K+ drivers and go with a strategy where you mix in a couple value guys.

Weatherman is in the 4 car this week for JD Motorsports, the first time he's climbed into this car this season. He's made eight starts in 2023, finishing 22nd or better in every race he's been running at the end of while driving the 02 for Our Motorsports, the 91 for Mario Gosselin, and the 08 for SS-Greenlight at various times.

Now, he jumps into a JDM car that's had its ups and downs, but has run better lately. The team has just three top-25 finishes all season, but those have all come in the last five races. And Weatherman's arguably the second-best driver to strap into this car this season, after Ty Dillon, who was 23rd last week.

I wouldn't be shocked to see the second top 20 of the year from this team today.

Josh Williams

Starting 29th - $5,800

Williams finished 35th last week, ending a streak of four consecutive top 20s. He's had some pretty good runs this year, including a top 10 at Talladega.

I don't think Williams really has any chance of getting a top 10 today, but there's a very viable shot he gains about 10 spots and finishes 19th or so. At just $5,800, I'd consider that a win.
