This weekend, we head to Michigan International Speedway for the FireKeepers Casino 400. The race is Sunday at 2pm ET on Prime. This is the first time since 2019 the Michigan race is back in June. Typically, this race is run during August, which means we likely see faster speeds with a little cooler racetrack this weekend. Michigan is a unique 2-mile and one of the fastest tracks in the Cup Series. Ford has won 9 of the last 10 races here. There have been at least 7 cautions in each of the 3 races here with the Next-Gen car. This is the same left-side tire they ran at Charlotte but the same right-side tire they ran here last season. I think Kansas, Texas, Charlotte, and Vegas are the best comps for Michigan. I’ll be using recent high-speed intermediate data, recent speed data, practice, recent Michigan data, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend.

NASCAR DFS Picks: FireKeepers Casino 400

The stages are 45, 75, and 80, which is a total of 200 laps. With 200 laps, we’re looking at 20 laps led and 20 laps completed points on FanDuel. On DraftKings, were looking at 90 fastest lap points and 50 laps led points. On FanDuel, we will want 1 or 2 lap leaders and as many drivers finishing inside the top 10 as possible. On DraftKings, we’re looking for 1 to 3 dominators.
