The Sun 11/08 main is a single-race NASCAR slate (Nasca @ Nasca) on DraftKings classic, with a $50,000 salary cap. It locks Sun 11/8 at 3:11 p.m. ET (12:11 p.m. PT), so lineups need to be set before then.
Our model's top-ranked play is Corey Heim at $8,300. He carries a DraftKings average of 40.8, the highest of any player on our ranked list, and a ceiling of 83.7. Ryan Preece at $7,700 brings a 31.4 average and an 86.3 ceiling, while Brad Keselowski at $7,100 has the second-highest ceiling among our top plays at 88.9. Shane Van Gisbergen sits at $7,000 with a 29.3 average, but his 97.5 ceiling is the best number on the sheet.
The value plays are where the salary savings live. Noah Gragson at $5,400 pairs a 25.1 average with an 85.3 ceiling, a strong upside profile for his price. Todd Gilliland at $5,900 offers a 27.1 average and an 80.5 ceiling, and he is the cheapest piece our model leans on for its own build. Both give you room to spend up elsewhere.
Not every pricey name earns a spot. Josh Berry costs $8,100 with a 26.7 average and a 65.0 ceiling, the lowest ceiling among our top plays, so he carries less upside than his salary suggests. Ross Chastain at $7,900 has a 25.3 average and a 78.9 ceiling. We have no ownership data for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd will land.
Our model's top lineup uses $48,300 of the $50,000 cap. It starts with Kyle Larson at $11,500, then adds Corey Heim at $8,300, Ross Chastain at $7,900, Ryan Preece at $7,700, Shane Van Gisbergen at $7,000 and Todd Gilliland at $5,900. Set your lineups before the 3:11 p.m. ET (12:11 p.m. PT) lock.
