Buschy McBusch 400 at Kansas: NASCAR DFS Premium Rankings
I need the Buschy McBuschy, despite the silly name, in my veins as quickly as possible after the NASCAR DFS heartbreak at Dega. Last week was quite the sweat for me where I saw my winnings drop from 20k to a losing day. Just unreal on that final restart – Chefgirl watched my hair turn grey instantly. Needless to say, I’m a degenerate ready to get back after it this weekend. This week there are so many good plays that it should make for a great GPP slate.
I rank every driver and tier them based on price. There is no sense to compare Chase Elliot to Quin Houff, but comparing Chase Elliot to Kevin Harvick, for example, tends to make sense. The rankings will be posted first and represent the “initial pass” on my approach to the slate.
The notes represent my “second pass” and will provide more insight into how I am building lineups, what I have learned from looking around the industry, and mention any situations where I’m “hotter” or “colder” on anyone than when I set the rankings. For example, I may mention that there is a large gap in my interest level after the top three ranked drivers in a given tier. Another example would be to point out that drivers ranked 1-3 are interchangeable in terms of my interest. My suggestion is to enter multiple lineups and use the rankings and notes as a guide as you build lineups.
If you are a more serious player building 40+ lineups, I do suggest purchasing a lineup optimizer tool. These are affordable for our more advanced players and you can get them relatively cheap – especially if you are purchasing for NASCAR only. We will definitely look to partner with a third party or build one in-house for next season. If you need help selecting one, I’m here to help explain and recommend what you need. To reiterate – this is only for advanced players and you do not need this unless you have full command of the tool. In fact, it can do more harm than good if you do not know what you are doing.

Tier 1 Notes
You need to be getting ownership across tier 1 with so many great options. I had to take a stand on Joey ranking him that far back because there are others that have less PD upside, but more dominator potential in my opinion. Blaney and Kurt are ranked towards the back of tier 1, but they project well and would easily be ranked stronger in tier 2. I’m fading everyone but Ricky and KB in tier 2 to make sure I get a lot of tier 1 exposure. I suggest you do the same.
