It’s time for NASCAR Cup Series drivers to venture to wine country, making both left and right turns at the road course of Sonoma Raceway. Let’s get your daily fantasy NASCAR DraftKings lineups prepped for the 2022 Toyota/Save Mart 350, airing Sunday, June 12 at 4 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1.
The second road course of the season returns to a smaller, 1.99-mile layout featuring the chute instead of the carousel that was run in 2019 and 2021. It’s not just a new layout that will challenge Cup drivers at Sonoma; it’ll be the first time they’ll hit the track driving the sport’s new Next Gen chassis.
So, how do you prepare your daily fantasy (DFS) rosters for this event? Sonoma has favored just a handful of active drivers in recent years when it comes to victory lane; the technical road course leans toward those with the best skill set on this track type. Watkins Glen International is a good comparison track when looking at who can master this particular layout.
The Cup Series has already made left and right turns in the Next Gen car at Circuit of the Americas; you can examine the results from there to get a sense of who’s got an edge. Just keep in mind that AJ Allmendinger was also in the running for the win at the end before he got shoved out into the gravel.
Lastly, one of the biggest pieces of data is practice (airing Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET on FS2). Though these drivers won’t be on track as much, it’s still important to see which ones improve throughout their runs and which ones are hot off the truck. And if a driver crashes, he might become one of the most popular drivers on DraftKings (since there wouldn’t be enough time for the team to fix the car between practice and qualifying).
Before I share some drivers I’m considering, here’s the results from last week’s race at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway:
| Salary | Driver | DraftKings Score |
| $10,000.00 | Ross Chastain | 45.2 |
| $9,600.00 | Ryan Blaney | 61.1 |
| $8,900.00 | Joey Logano |
