Dfs picks:
After a successful exhibition at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the new NASCAR Cup Series will start its season on Sunday with the 2022 Daytona 500. It’s the most famed event in stock car racing and will feature 43 drivers in the Daytona 500 field. It’s also one of the toughest races of the season for NASCAR DFS players because of the unpredictability of superspeedway racing.
There’s a big wreck lingering around every corner at Daytona International Speedway, but there’s also quantifiable skill in avoiding “The Big One,” and that’s what you’re looking for in your 2022 Daytona 500 DFS picks. Denny Hamlin is a three-time Daytona 500 winner, which could make him a popular option for NASCAR DFS lineups at “The Great American Race.”

Dfs:
NASCAR opened the week with single-car qualifying on Wednesday. Kyle Larson had the fastest time after two rounds and that earned him the pole position for Sunday’s race and also the pole position for Thursday’s Bluegreen Vacations Duel 1.
Alex Bowman had the second fastest time after two rounds on Wednesday, and that earned him a spot on the front row next to Larson for Sunday’s race and also the pole position for Thursday’s Bluegreen Vacations Duel 2.
Larson and Bowman can earn points toward the season-long playoff race, but for the rest of the field, the two Bluegreen Vacations Duel races will allow them to secure an improved starting spot in Sunday’s lineup. The finishing order of the first Bluegreen Vacations duel will line up the inside row for Sunday while the finishing order of the second Bluegreen Vacations duel will line up the outside row for Sunday.
