NASCAR DFS Tiered Rankings: Ally 400

All other NASCAR Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard.

Welcome to RotoBaller's Tiered Rankings for the seventeenth race of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season, the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. For those that are viewing these rankings for the first time, here is how the sheet works.

There are two sets of DFS tiered rankings featured below, with one set of rankings focused on DraftKings DFS contests while the other is focused on FanDuel. Every driver that will officially be starting in this week's race will be listed in a particular tier based on their salary for each site. The tiers feature drivers that have similar price ranges and are ranked based on their final outlook, which is determined by a combination of a driver's expected performance for this week's race as well as their salary.

These ranks will help you make tough lineup calls, telling you which drivers must be started over others in each tier. DFS players from any skill level can use these rankings in order to create a lineup that will cash out.

NASCAR has not raced at this week's track, Nashville Superspeedway, since 2011 in any of the three national series. Despite there being plenty of past races in the Xfinity and Truck Series at the site, this will be the first time the Cup Series will host a race there. Nashville is a track that is a 1.333-Mile Concrete oval track with all of its turns having 14 degrees of banking. The Tennessee track is unique in that its length is longer than a mile, but is still shorter than an Intermediate track while being on a concrete surface. There are only two other tracks in the Cup Series that are run on concrete (Dover and Bristol) and this week will use the 750 HP rules package, which was used at Darlington, Dover, road courses, and short tracks. Any drivers that have performed well on these tracks so far this season are racers DFS players should consider targeting. There are also pre-race events including practice and qualifying this week, so these ranks will be updated multiple times throughout the weekend. Be sure to check back regularly and good luck RotoBallers!

Normally, you can expect these rankings to be published on Thursdays or Fridays for every week that there is a Cup Series race, depending on the schedule of pre-race events. These rankings will also be updated as pre-race events progress throughout the week when applicable and also will include an analysis of each tier of drivers at the conclusion of all pre-race events.
