This weekend, we head to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Coca-Cola 600. The race is Sunday at 6pm ET on PRIME. This is one of the biggest races of the year and one of the most challenging races for teams and drivers. On top of being 600 miles, the race starts during the daytime and finishes at night. There have been 18, 16, and 7 cautions in the 3 Next-Gen races here. Last season was the 7-caution race, but it was a rain-shortened 249 laps. I’ll be using recent Charlotte data, recent large high-speed intermediate data, 2025 speed, practice, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend. Chase Briscoe, William Byron, and Ryan Blaney did a tire test here in March.

NASCAR DFS Picks: Coca-Cola 600

The stages are 100, 100, 100, and 100, which is a total of 400 laps. That is 280 potential dominator points on DraftKings. It’s also, 40 laps led points, and 40 laps completed points on FanDuel. There have been at least 2 dominators in 6 of the last 7 Coke 600s, and the race that was a 1-dominator race was dominated by Kyle Busch. Even with the rain-shortened race last season, there were still 3 dominators in the optimal with at least 20 dominator points.
