Busch is on his best form of the season so far and makes a confident play this week. He is a three-time New Hampshire winner and will start on pole. Kyle Busch (DK $10,900, FD $12,500) enters this weekend's race on a streak of four consecutive top-three finishes. Ford and Toyota have won the last five races at the track with Chevrolet last driving to Victory Lane with Kevin Harvick in 2016.ĭRAFTKINGS VALUE PICKS (Based on Standard $50K Salary Cap)

Most New Hampshire winners start inside the top 10, but that ability to use tire strategy can open the door to almost anyone starting inside the top 20. Teams will have the chance to leverage two-tire stops to help gain positions on pit road and gain track position. The surface is also not nearly as abrasive as we saw last week at Atlanta.

Despite being a flat circuit drivers do have a bit of room to move up and down the grooves due to the track's progressive banking. The tracks straights are long and require heavy braking into the relatively flat turns. Knowing the New Hampshire's 1.0-mile oval configuration races similarly to tracks later in the playoff rounds, fantasy managers will want to keep this season's visits to Richmond and Phoenix in mind when making selections. Key Stats at New Hampshire Motor Speedway With five races remaining before the elimination rounds get underway, the pressure is sure to increase. Teammates Austin Dillon and Tyler Reddick are closest to the playoff cutline, but either could be on the outside looking in if drivers lower in the standings win. Kyle's brother Kurt Busch was the victor one week ago at Atlanta, securing his spot among the championship contenders, and will start fourth alongside Chase Elliott this week. This week, teammates Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. Brad Keselowski won in a dominating performance last season and ultimately went on to finish second in the championship. The horsepower package and track layout is similar to many of the stops in the final rounds of the championship battle, and many of the drivers who have made it to the championship finale have also won or finished in the top five at New Hampshire.

The annual visit to New Hampshire Motor Speedway tends to give a good preview of what to expect in the championship playoffs. This article is part of our NASCAR DFS series.
