The Sun 11/01 main slate is a single NASCAR race on DraftKings classic, with a $50,000 salary cap and six drivers to fill. Lineups lock Sun 11/1 at 2:07 p.m. ET (11:07 a.m. PT).
Kyle Larson sits at the top of the price board at $10,500. Our model gives him a ceiling of 86.8 and a DraftKings average of 39.2, the best average of any top play on the sheet. Daniel Suarez shares that 86.8 ceiling at just $6,700, with a DraftKings average of 30.6. Carson Hocevar is the next step up in price at $7,700, with an 83.9 ceiling and a 31.0 average.
The value plays are where the salary savings come from. Ricky Stenhouse Jr costs only $5,500 and still carries an 82.8 ceiling, with a 23.0 average. Shane Van Gisbergen at $6,600 offers an 80.6 ceiling and a 28.3 average. Zane Smith at $6,000 has a 75.4 ceiling and a 21.7 average, a thinner profile but a low price. Ross Chastain at $7,100 shows a 72.2 ceiling and a 24.7 average.
Ownership figures are not available for this slate, so we cannot say where the crowd will land. Chase Briscoe is the notable pricing question at $9,700: his 38.4 average is close to Larson's, but his ceiling of 75.1 is the lowest of the eight top plays, so he is paying for consistency more than upside.
Our model's top lineup totals $46,700 of the $50,000 and pairs the stars with the cheaper ceilings. It runs Kyle Larson at $10,500, Chase Briscoe at $9,700, Carson Hocevar at $7,700, Daniel Suarez at $6,700, Shane Van Gisbergen at $6,600 and Ricky Stenhouse Jr at $5,500.
