NASCAR DFS High Point 400 Core Plays: Chase Elliott Is A Cash Game Lock

The lone NASCAR Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway is upon us today. The practice and qualifying results have been set and can be seen in this week’s High Point 400 DFS Playbook. Now it’s time to sort out who our top plays and picks are for the race to build around. The two sites might be different in their scoring, but the same principle is in place for both: building around a core of key drivers and then sprinkling others in is a proven way to win at NASCAR DFS. Before the High Point 400 goes green this afternoon take a listen to the NASCAR DFS Preview Podcast and look at the Core Plays below.

When building DFS lineups for NASCAR DFS it’s important to look at a core of drivers, rather than a full lineup at a time. Just like most DFS sports, building around cores of players, or drivers in this case, and then filling in around it is the best way to see success in both cash and GPP contests. Regardless of the style of track, the core build method is the way that Dan Malin and myself approach our builds and then we get exposure to other drivers by sprinkling them into the builds as well. That way when different cores do well, we see more green by the checkered flag.

The Core Plays table below should be read from left to right based on the site and game type you’re building for. They are not designed to add up to the salary cap nor are they designed to be plugged in as full lineups. For certain races, there’ll be more for top tier than the value tier and vice versa and the same goes for the mid-tier. It simply depends on the race and the setup of the field.

Good luck in today’s High Point 400 from Pocono Raceway for DFS!
