NASCAR at Darlington DFS: Top picks and advice from a Fantasy Hall of Famer

The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series stops at Darlington Raceway on Sunday for the Goodyear 400. The green flag drops at 3:30 p.m. ET. 

Before building any DFS NASCAR lineups on sites such as FanDuel or DraftKings, it is essential to review Scott Engel's best picks for the Goodyear 400.

Engel is an inaugural member of the Fantasy Sports Writers Association's Hall of Fame and is a two-time finalist for the FSWA Racing Writer of the Year award. He is a longtime Fantasy NASCAR analyst who has appeared on ESPN.com, Bleacher Report, the New York Daily News and SiriusXM NASCAR and Fantasy Sports Radio to break down the races from DFS perspectives. Engel correctly pinpointed Daytona 500 winner Michael McDowell as one of his  top lineup targets this season. In recent weeks, he highly recommended Talladega winner Brad Keselowski, and Martinsville winner Martin Truex Jr.  

Engel determines his preferred selections by using Loop Data, which are advanced statistics that are electronically recorded by NASCAR to accurately illustrate how drivers perform. Loop Data stats are very useful in DFS NASCAR to tell us which drivers truly will perform the best at particular tracks. They determine how a driver actually fares without the negative factors of crashes, car issues and pit problems. Last season, two SportsLine subscribers won DFS NASCAR tournaments in the same week using Scott's picks

For NASCAR at Darlington Raceway, Engel is targeting Kyle Larson as one of his favorite choices. The advanced statistics show that Larson will be a superb pick. The Loop Data stats demonstrate why Larson is one of the prime selections at Darlington Raceway. This is also a great site for Alex Bowman to perform at his best levels for DFS purposes. Engel provides the important data that supports Bowman as a key lineup selection.  

Engel is also strongly recommending a quality bargain play at Darlington Raceway who can provide a solid DFS return on Sunday. You MUST see Engel's top DFS targets for the Goodyear 400 before you set your lineups.
