NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Preview for Charlotte BetMGM 300 (5/25/24)

Justin Carter's DraftKings DFS lineup picks for the NASCAR Xfinity Series BetMGM 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Read his daily fantasy NASCAR advice and Xfinity sleepers.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series is in Charlotte this weekend for the BetMGM 300, part of a tripleheader weekend for the top three NASCAR touring series at the 1.5-mile track. Last year, Justin Allgaier led 83 laps on his way to the win here, with John Hunter Nemechek finishing second.

This is the 12th race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule. Austin Hill currently leads the standings by three points over Cole Custer, with third-place Chandler Smith just two more points back of Custer. The three drivers have really differentiated themselves from the rest of the pack so far this season and should wage an exciting battle for the regular season title.

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 NASCAR Xfinity Series BetMGM 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 5/25/24 at 1:17 p.m. EDT.

Top Plays

Ty Gibbs ($11.5K) - Starts 1st

Whew, we've got a stacked field for this one. Ty Gibbs wasn't supposed to be in this car this weekend, but Aric Almirola was pulled midweek for unknown reasons and Gibbs ended up landing on the pole for this one. I view him as the favorite over Kyle Busch because he's in a better car, plus he's never finished lower than fifth in an Xfinity Series race here.

Chase Elliott ($11.0K) - Starts 30th

What did I tell you? Stacked field. Chase Elliott had a huge wiggle out of the car in qualifying and wound up with a really bad lap. He'll start 30th. Assuming the car is in better shape on Saturday, he shouldn't be a chalk place differential play. I think you should aim for your Cash lineups to feature Elliott plus one of Gibbs and Busch.

Kyle Busch ($12.0K) - Starts 2nd

Kyle Busch is making his first Xfinity Series start for Richard Childress Racing this weekend. Since I view Gibbs as the slight favorite, it naturally follows that I'll have more exposure to him than I will to Busch, who is $500 more on DraftKings. Still, Busch has been dominant at this track, winning here nine times in the Xfinity Series, so it's possible I'm underestimating him here.

Justin Allgaier ($10.5K) - Starts 9th

Finally, if you're looking for an Xfinity Series regular, Justin Allgaier won this race last year, plus he won the most recent Xfinity race this season. Seems like this No. 7 team is gaining some momentum right now, setting Allgaier up to potentially join the battle for the regular season title, which is currently a three-man race.

Top Mid-Tier Plays

Noah Gragson ($9.5K) - Starts 18th

This is a race where my favorite plays are all big-money guys or value options, but there are a few names in this middle range to mention. Let's start with Noah Gragson. Huge risk here because this is the first time Rette Jones Racing has ever run an Xfinity Series race, but the long-time ARCA team has a technical alliance with Gragson's Cup team, Stewart-Haas Racing. Gragson led 36 laps and finished fourth when he last ran an Xfinity race here in 2022.

Parker Kligerman ($7.4K) - Starts 28th

Parker Kligerman starts 28th and should provide DFS players with plenty of place differential points considering his average finish this year is 14.5. He's finished in the top 10 four times and just missed at Vegas, where he finished 11th.

 

 

NASCAR Xfinity Series Deep Sleepers

Josh Williams ($6.7K) - Starts 36th

Josh Williams has been really struggling for Kaulig Racing this year, a big disappointment considering Kaulig has been one of the top Xfinity teams in recent years. Still, a 36th-place starting spot is deep enough for me to play Williams this weekend considering his average finish this year is 22.7. Not great in real life, but it means there's a lot of place differential upside.

Shane Van Gisbergen ($6.5K) - Starts 29th

Shane Van Gisbergen hasn't been as disappointing as his teammate, but his solid qualifying efforts this season have prevented him from having a ton of DFS value. His average start is 18.0 and his average finish is 16.7, so there hasn't been a lot of place differential at play. Saturday, SVG starts 29th, so if he can keep the car clean we could see 10 or more place differential points for the No. 97 car.

Kyle Sieg ($6.0K) - Starts 34th

Kyle Sieg isn't running as well as brother Ryan Sieg, but he has some good finishes this year in this No. 28 car, including a 14th at Texas and a 20th at Vegas, two tracks that you can compare to Charlotte. His 34th-place starting spot offers a good amount of place differential appeal for just $6.0K.

Natalie Decker ($5.0K) - Starts 37th

Alright, so hear me out here. I know Natalie Decker doesn't usually finish very well, and her 18th-place finish with seven laps led at Daytona earlier this year was largely a fluke. But this is a race where there are multiple top-tier drivers I want to stack in my lineup and to do that I need a punt play that could pay off, and I see upside with Decker for that. This No. 92 car she's running has finished in the top 25 six times in the last eight races.
