NASCAR Cup Series: South Point 400 DFS

Tim Watts

The series is running the 550 hp package this week, so I included similar tracks with that package in my research. In addition to this year’s previous Las Vegas race, one track I find highly comparable is Charlotte, where Kyle Larson emerged victorious in both. I think a 3-car Hendrick stack (Larson, Elliott, Bowman, Byron) or a 3-car Gibbs stack (Ky. Busch, Hamlin, Truex, Bell) could pay off well in a GPP.

For this week’s race, I have five drivers in the top tier who I’m banking on. I also have quite a few inexpensive drivers I think can contribute to a winning lineup.

High-salaried drivers

Kyle Larson
Kyle Busch
Chase Elliott
