The NASCAR Cup Series is headed to Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday for the Bank of America Roval 400, which is set to begin at 12:30 p.m. ET and air on NBC. This will be one of the more difficult races to predict a winner for, but we’ve identified some top DFS plays and sleepers on DraftKings.
Best Bets
Chase Elliott ($10,600)
It makes since that Elliott is expensive because he’s the odds-on favorite at +300 on DraftKings Sportsbook. He won at Charlotte the last time he raced there. He has the the best driver rating (122) at Charlotte since February of 2017 and is worth paying up for.
Kevin Harvick ($9,900)
Harvick might not have a recent win at Charlotte like Ryan Blaney ($10,900), but he’s led more laps there in the last three years. Not playing Blaney — the most expensive driver on the slate — makes sense when you can swap him out for the driver with the most wins (9) in the Cup Series this year.
Sleeper Picks
Clint Bowyer ($8,800)
Boyer hasn’t been great lately, but only he and Alex Bowman ($9,000) have two top five finishes at Charlotte since 2017. His price is up $500 despite his poor recent performances, so his ownership could be less than it should be.
Erik Jones ($8,200)
Jones doesn’t have the best track record at Charlotte, but has been on a bit of a roll lately. He has three top five finishes in his last five races and has only seen his price rice $200 since he finished second at the YellaWood 500.
