NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKing’s DFS Lineup Picks for Dover A-Game 200 (4/29/23)

The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Delaware this weekend to complete 200 laps of the 1-mile, paved Dover Motor Speedway. The race is scheduled to be held on Saturday afternoon but the rain has already washed out qualifying and rain is forecast for most of Saturday so we’ll see when the race actually starts. It looks like there could be a window late Saturday afternoon but with Dover having no lights it gets complicated.

When the Xfinity Series was last here, Josh Berry led 55 laps on his way to victory while teammate Justin Allgaier led 67 laps and finished second. Four of the top five were JRM riders. It was also Berry’s second consecutive top 2 finish at the track.

Here at RotoBaller, we want to help you make informed decisions about your DFS lineups, which is why I’m going to break down the slates for the Xfinity series. Let’s look at some NASCAR Xfinity DFS lineup picks for the NASCAR Xfinity Series A Game 200 on DraftKings.

Josh Berry

From the 19th – $10,800

Dover is a great track for Josh Berry. He has raced here twice and his worst result is second. He led 48 laps on his way to that second place in 2021, then led 55 last year and won.

However, Berry starts this week in 19th place, so he may not be a contender for leading many laps, but he will make up for it with a spot difference up. I’m not giving Berry away for ending the day on a winning streak either – Austin Cindric won in 2021 from 16th on the grid, although nobody has won in Xfinity since 2006 when Jeff Burton started while he was 19th here or worse started 36th. So he probably won’t throw money on a berry win, but he can easily give you +15 on the spot.

Cole Custer

2nd place and up – $9,900

Here’s what I really like about the way this grid has evolved: instead of getting someone like Josh Berry on the front row who would just run away with things, we now get a space differential up and we can also have the outside pole sitter Catch Cole Custer who should be able to do a lot of laps at the front of the field.

Custer has a good story here in the Xfinity series. In 2019 he led the spring race for 155 laps before finishing fourth, and a win followed in the autumn. His average here is 5.3.

And going back to that theory from the first paragraph of this section, in that race where he led 155 laps, that was the first 155 laps of the race. Custer started quickly and was able to stay ahead for a long time before Christopher Bell cautiously took the lead on lap 156. Custer is the driver I’m betting on here and right now, DraftKings has him at +600.

Sam Mayr

From the 24th – $8,800

Like Josh Berry, Mayer is a JRM rider who starts much lower than usual due to the rain-out formula. And while I don’t think he can be a threat to victory like Berry, I do think he’s another rider which can give you +15 difference on the spot fairly easily.

Mayer has only raced once in Xfinity here, despite having an ARCA Menards East win at this track. In his only Xfinity start, Mayer led 18 laps and finished fifth. Small pick but this looks like a really good track for the #1 Chevy driver and if he can keep the car clean he will find a way to finish in the top 10.

Anthony Alfredo

Beginning 31st – $7,600

Alfredo had a really solid season in this ’78 BJ McLeod car. His average score is a 22.6, but that’s dragged down by falls in Richmond and Talladega. In the other seven races, Alfredo has five top 20 finishes.

He was also running well at Talladega before falling as he was leading five laps. This team seems to have found a little more speed this season over what McLeod’s teams typically have, and Alfredo has a good track record, starting this year 25th or worse when it comes to the placing difference: +11 at Phoenix, +13 at COTA and +14 at Martinsville.

Corey Heim

From 36th – $6,800

This will be Heim’s debut in the Xfinity series as the 20-year-old climbs into one of the Sam Hunt Racing cars for the first time. He is currently fourth in points in the Truck Series and has won three of his first 26 races in the series.

Remarkably, Heim won the start in the Truck Series in his fifth career, so he’s already shown he can adapt quickly to a new series. He won’t win on Saturday – I’m willing to put that in the pressure as he’s starting so far back at a track where once again nobody has won that far back since 2006.

But that doesn’t mean Heim can’t put in a strong performance. This 24 car has had some bad luck this season, but part of that is having either Parker Chase or Connor Mosack in all but two races. I’m willing to say that Heim is better than those two. Kaz Grala has four consecutive top 25 finishes in the other SHR car, including a fourth at Richmond. Heim should be able to gain 15-20 places in this race.

Kyle Wetterman

From the 35th – $5,700

Kyle Weatherman is a really talented rider who just didn’t really get the chance to ride good equipment. And that Our Motorsports car isn’t really great gear, but it’s better than some of the stuff he’s been in.

Weatherman has raced this car four times this season. He crashed relatively early in Atlanta, but his other finishes were 16th, 17th and 22nd. Not bad. He starts this week in his worst 35th place of the season due to the rain-out formula, so Weatherman should have increased the spot difference up, making him my top value play on this board.
