Hello everybody and welcome! We hit the Jockey Made In America 250 from the Road America course in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin this week and another edition of NASCAR DFS on PrizePicks. Now, that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or single stats. The goal is to build a 2-player, 3-player, 4-player, or 5-player entry and then select whether or not you want to play for the power play or the flex play. On the power play, you will need to be correct on each of your selections to win, and on the flex play, you will have a little more wiggle room for a chance to win some money back.
Our partners at PrizePicks offer some of the best, and easiest to win, NASCAR DFS games in the industry. There are no large-field tournaments filled with sharks where you have to get lucky just to place. At PrizePicks, you're not playing against other people, you're just playing against the projections, and the guys at PrizePicks have worked hard to give you really attractive opportunities to make some money. With promo code 'BALLER' you can get a 100% match on your deposit up to $100.
PrizePicks and NASCAR focus on Fantasy Score which has a scoring system where 1st nets 40 points, 2nd is worth 39, 3rd is worth 38, and so on. Every lap led equals an extra 0.01 points. For NASCAR, we are going to try and focus on the main board's Fantasy Score and see which players may go over or under their projected point totals. Let's see what the board offers today!

Fantasy Score Point Totals
Chase Elliott Over 38.5 Points. This was again not an easy choice but Elliott should run very well at Road America. Again, his finishing ability if he is close may just net him the win and 40 points. Expect the No. 9 to be able to qualify very high which will mean some laps led. That may not make much difference from a points standpoint here but if he finishes first or second, the point is moot anyway. This is the basic projection for the Hendricks Motorsports Racing car. Though other teams are catching up. Elliott ranks as the best road-course driver in the last three years.
Joey Logano Over 32.5 Points. Logano has been excellent on road courses in 2021. That may just happen again here on Sunday. He finished second, third, and fourth on the three road courses this year. The third and fourth at Austin and Sonoma respectively are more impressive. Laps led is kind of moot with a 62-lap race but Logano could easily nab a top-five finish in Wisconsin on Sunday. The No. 22 Team Penske driver may be one of the best technical drivers in NASCAR when it comes down to the final laps on longer runs.
William Byron Over 31.5 Points. The idea is great given the build and the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver's consistency. He has now finished in the top-10 in 13 of the last 16 races. This Sunday at Road America could likely be another given how well the No. 24 is running. Byron has looked okay on the road tracks this year. Even his Sonoma crash was unfortunate as he was running in the top five at the time. The Hendricks car was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Even his 11th at Austin may have been better if they had not called the race with 14 laps to go. There is a risk but plenty of potential. Byron just has to finish tenth or better. He can do that.
Kyle Larson Over 37 Points. This is not as risky for Kyle Larson on Sunday as laps led may not matter much considering Larson has finished second and first on the last two road races. Just a fourth is a push and barring something crazy like fuel or a blown tire would have to happen again to the No. 5 car. Larson really is like a chameleon with these road courses and still eyes the overall points lead for the Cup Series. It is why taking the over is not a bad idea here as Larson's prop total has finally dropped thanks to Pocono last weekend. Who knew?
Kyle Busch Over 33.5 Points. Busch found a way to win the Sunday race at Pocono as Denny Hamlin ran out of gas. Regardless, Busch did very well over last weekend and would have finished second with some laps led anyway. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver looked good on the previous two road courses but had a little bad luck (both top ten finishes). Again, the younger Busch had the car with the speed on Sunday and maybe this translates a bit to the road course at Road America. It is not crazy to try the No. 18 once again on Sunday afternoon.
