Heading into the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on Sunday night, Denny Hamlin (personal) is the favorite, according to most sportsbooks. However, there is a slight chance that he may have to miss the race. His fiancée is due to give birth any day now, and Hamlin has confirmed that the birth of his child will take precedence over the race. If Hamlin starts the race on Sunday night, he will be credited with the finish, even if the backup driver (Ryan Truex) takes over mid-race. If Hamlin leaves early (before the race starts) he will not get credited with any points. This makes for an interesting predicament for DFS managers, as Hamlin is projected to be one of the highest-scoring drivers on the slate. If he's able to race the entire event on Sunday night, he should be in contention to win. It's recommended to keep an eye out for any late breaking news regarding Hamlin and potentially missing the race before locking in your DFS lineups this weekend.--Jordan McAbee
