Denny Hamlin looks to join Christopher Bell as the second driver in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season to win three straight races when Hamlin takes off from the Food City 500 on Sunday (3 p.m. ET) at Bristol Motor Speedway. If Hamlin does win his third straight, he'll also become the first back-to-back Food City 500 winner since Kyle Busch in 2018 and 2019, as Hamlin also won this NASCAR at Bristol event last year. 

Hamlin will likely be a popular option for NASCAR DFS picks after coming off back-to-back victories, but can you afford to form a Food City 500 NASCAR DFS strategy that doesn't include him? Before locking in your NASCAR DFS lineups for the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway, you NEED to see what Mike McClure has to say.

McClure has won over $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 began the 2025 season by calling Chase Elliott's win in the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray for a +300 payout. Then at Daytona, it was also high on William Byron despite +2000 odds and it went on to predict Kyle Larson as a +350 winner in Miami. The model also called its first victory of the 2024 season with Larson winning in Las Vegas for a 21-5 payout then predicted Denny Hamlin's wins in Bristol at 5-1 and Richmond at 17-4. 

It impressively nailed five of Larson's wins during his historic season in 2021 too. All told, the model has nailed a whopping 20 winners since 2021 and has hit two winners already in 2025! Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks could have seen HUGE returns.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday and is revealing his top NASCAR DFS picks, NASCAR DFS lineups and driver pool.

For NASCAR at Bristol, McClure is high on Chase Elliott ($9,600 on DraftKings and $12,500 on FanDuel). Part of McClure's optimal NASCAR DFS strategy also includes rostering Joey Logano ($9,300 on DraftKings and $8,500 on FanDuel), who is the defending NASCAR Cup Series champion. Despite his championship-winning season last year, Logano has only one top-10 result over eight starts and he's ninth in the NASCAR Cup Series standings this season. But that has also dropped his price significantly to where McClure projects value for Logano for Food City 500 NASCAR DFS lineups as his model hasn't lost faith in Logano's ability to finish toward the very top of the leaderboard. 

McClure is also targeting an undervalued driver set to return HUGE value for your NASCAR DFS lineups! He's in prime position to make a run at the checkered flag and comes at a price that won't break the bank. This pick could be the difference between cashing HUGE in your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
