The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series is shifting from the first road course race of the season to the first short track for the 2023 Toyota Owners 400. William Byron has already notched two wins this season and is coming off a top-five finish last week, making him the most expensive driver in the Toyota Owners 400 NASCAR DFS driver pool. Byron also finished third at this race last season, so he will be a popular addition to 2023 Toyota Owners 400 NASCAR DFS lineups. Should you wrap up a large chunk of your NASCAR at Richmond DFS salary by selecting Byron?
Byron's top-five finish at Richmond last spring was his only one in nine starts at this track. Are there better options for your 2023 Toyota Owners 400 DFS picks? Before locking in any NASCAR DFS picks for NASCAR at Richmond, be sure to check out the optimal NASCAR at Richmond DFS strategy and advice from SportsLine's Mike McClure.
McClure has won almost $2 million in his career as a daily Fantasy pro, and his NASCAR DFS driver pool, projections and advice can help you score a big win on Sunday.
McClure's model is off to a red-hot start this season, already nailing Martin Truex Jr.'s Clash win (20-1), Joey Logano's Duel win (8-1), and Kyle Busch's Fontana victory (10-1). Then last week in Austin, it listed Tyler Reddick as one of its best values and he went on to win for a 10-1 payout. It also impressively nailed five of Kyle Larson's wins during his historic season in 2021. All told, the model has nailed a whopping nine winners since 2021. Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks saw huge returns.
Now, he's turned his attention to Sunday's 2023 Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond. He's only sharing his picks and NASCAR DFS driver pool here.
Top 2023 Toyota Owners 400 NASCAR DFS picks
For NASCAR at Richmond, McClure is high on Joey Logano, the reigning Cup Series champion. He is among the second tier of drivers in the NASCAR DFS driver pool for Sunday's race, despite winning at Atlanta Motor Speedway two races ago. Logano also finished second at Daytona, so his 2022 form has carried over into this season.
The 32-time Cup Series winner has won twice at this track during his career, the latest coming in the 2017 spring race. He has finished inside the top six in four of his last five appearances, including two third-place results. Logano continues to be one of the safest options in NASCAR DFS contests, so McClure is comfortable adding him to NASCAR DFS lineups again this weekend.
Part of McClure's optimal NASCAR DFS strategy also includes rostering Martin Truex Jr., who desperately needs a win after going winless in his last 50 starts. He has been outstanding in Richmond, posting eight top-five finishes in his last nine starts, including four top-twos in his last seven. Truex finished fourth last spring after leading 80 laps and picking up a stage win before finishing seventh in the summer.
He only has one top-10 finish so far this season, but that has created value on him for this week's race. His last win came at this track in 2021 and his recent history of success will give him confidence heading to Richmond. Truex has quietly gained at least eight positions in his last two races as well, so he is flying under the radar in NASCAR DFS lineups. See which other drivers to roster here.
