2022 Ally 400 At Nashville

Sonoma Raceway, Austin Dillon

It’s time for a trip to the Music City for NASCAR Cup Series drivers as they look to win a guitar at Nashville Superspeedway. Let’s get your daily fantasy NASCAR DraftKings lineups set for the Ally 400, airing on Sunday, June 26 at 5 p.m. ET on NBC.

The Cup Series visits the Tennessee racetrack for just the second time in its history, and first for the Next Gen cars. Nashville is a 1.33-mile concrete D-shaped oval, slightly smaller than the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway and differently shaped from 1.36-mile Darlington Raceway. It has tighter corners than Kansas, so cars often enter them like a short track.

With its uniqueness, what data can you use to help set your DraftKings rosters? Well, it is shaped similar to Kansas, so you could see who was fast then and compare it to Friday’s practice results. You could also look at Dover Motor Speedway from this year, as it is a concrete oval too.

As always, check out Saturday’s qualifying results (airing at 1 p.m. ET on USA Network) to see where drivers line up.

Before I share some drivers I’m considering for Nashville, here’s a look back at the results from Sonoma Raceway:

Salary Driver DraftKings Score
$10,100.00 Kyle Busch -4.65
$10,000.00 Martin Truex Jr. 18.9
$8,400.00 Austin Cindric 59
$7,900.00 Alex Bowman 30.45
$7,500.00 Erik Jones 31
$5,100.00 Todd Gilliland 18
$49,000.00 Total 152.7

The Toyotas struggled, as Kyle Busch couldn’t stay up front and ended up spinning later in the race. But Austin Cindric had a good day, advancing 20 positions to fifth place.

The top score in the $6,000 Quarter Jukebox was 326.75 and had Ross Chastain, William Byron, Cindric, Kevin Harvick, race winner Daniel Suarez and runner-up Chris Buescher.

As far as DraftKings scoring, the rules are the same as last season: 0.45 points for each fastest lap and 0.25 for each lap led. Additionally, drivers can earn a point for each position they gain on the track (relative to where they start). They can also lose a point for each position lost, so keep this fact in mind if you decide to play the pole sitter.

Here are the DraftKings rules for the road this season.

Now, on to my DraftKings picks.

Note: The following drivers are part of a sample NASCAR DraftKings lineup; you can use this info to make your own.
