This week the NASCAR Cup Series drivers hope to enjoy Illinois as they take on a new circuit to the schedule, World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway. Let’s prep your daily fantasy NASCAR DraftKings lineups for the Enjoy Illinois 300, airing on Sunday, June 5 at 3:30 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1.
Gateway is a 1.25-mile oval that is unlike any other racetrack, with long straightaways and tighter corners in turns 1 and 2 than in 3 and 4. Shape-wise, it’s a little bit similar to Darlington Raceway, but the racing will be closer to Phoenix Raceway.
The race won’t be as long as other race on the circuit — just 240 laps — so dominators may not be needed as much as ones that start near the back but finish up front.

| $5,800.00 | Michael McDowell | 38 |
| $50,000.00 | Total | 166.6 |
Though he had a strong car and led 86 laps, Chase Elliott retired very early from the race, around the halfway mark. Other drivers with lower fantasy scores were Austin Dillon, who crashed out while trying to win just before the first white flag waved, and Chris Buescher, who flipped his car. This race almost seemed like it was at a plate track or Atlanta Motor Speedway rather than Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The top score in the $6,000 Quarter Jukebox tournament was 395.6 and had Kyle Larson, Ross Chastain, Christopher Bell, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Chase Briscoe and Michael McDowell.
