This weekend, we head to Talladega Superspeedway for the United Rentals 250. The race is Saturday at 4pm ET on The CW. NASCAR doesn’t do practice at Talladega, and qualifying is Saturday afternoon. When building lineups, I’ll be looking at recent Talladega data, superspeedway data, recent speed data, and a few other things. We can’t predict these races, roster construction is king, and don’t be afraid to leave salary on the table. Xfinity races on superspeedways have been even harder than Cup races to predict. There have been at least 5 cautions in 8 of the last 10 races here. The race winner has started inside the top 10 in 7 of those 10 races. Fun fact: Chevrolet has won 12 straight Xfinity races at Talladega.

The stages are 25, 25, and 44, which is a total of 94 laps. With 94 laps, we’re looking at a potential of 42.3 fastest laps and 23.5 laps led points on DraftKings. With cautions and fastest laps spread out, we’re not worried about dominators this weekend. If someone leads a lot of laps and finishes well, he’s likely going to be optimal. I’ll use groups to hopefully nail that person. Looking at the optimal lineups for the last 10 races here, there have not been any optimal lineups with more than 2 drivers starting inside the top 10.
