2024 Enjoy Illinois 300: NASCAR at Gateway DFS lineups, top ...

One of the shortest races of the NASCAR Cup Series season will take place on Sunday, the 2024 Enjoy Illinois 300. It's the first 300-lap race of the season, so how should that affect your NASCAR DFS strategy? Joey Logano won the NASCAR All-Star Race, which lasted 200 laps, and won the Enjoy Illinois 300 in 2022. Logano finished third in this race last season, so he is a top option from the NASCAR DFS driver pool to include in NASCAR Enjoy Illinois 300 DFS lineups and Fantasy NASCAR picks?

Christopher Bell is coming off a win at the Coca-Cola 600 last weekend for his second victory of the season. No driver has won back-to-back races this year, so should you include Bell in NASCAR DFS picks or move him down the Fantasy NASCAR rankings? Before locking in your 2024 Enjoy Illinois 300 DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, and making your Fantasy NASCAR projections, be sure to check out the optimal NASCAR at Gateway DFS strategy and advice from SportsLine's Mike McClure. 

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 was red-hot in the 2023 season, nailing Martin Truex Jr.'s Clash win (20-1) as well as his win in New Hampshire (11-2), Joey Logano's Duel win (8-1), Kyle Busch's Fontana victory (10-1), Denny Hamlin's triumph in Kansas (6-1) and Kyle Larson's wins at Martinsville (6-1) and the NASCAR All-Star Race (13-2). The model correctly predicted winners in two playoff races as well, with Ryan Blaney scoring a 12-1 payout at Talladega and Larson winning at 9-2 in Las Vegas. It also impressively nailed five of Larson's wins during his historic season in 2021. All told, the model has nailed a whopping 18 winners since 2021 and nine last year alone. Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks saw huge returns. 

It also called its first victory of the 2024 season with Larson winning again in Las Vegas for a 21-5 payout then predicted a 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 18 winners since 2021 and hit nine last year alone! Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks saw huge returns.

Top 2024 Enjoy Illinois 300 DFS picks, lineup advice

One of McClure's top NASCAR at Gateway DFS picks is Martin Truex Jr. ($10,500 on DraftKings and $13,000 on FanDuel). Truex is second in the NASCAR Cup Series standings despite not recording a victory this season. Truex finished 12th in back-to-back races and has finished 12th or better in 11 of 15 starts this season.

NASCAR at Gateway has led to the best average finish of any track for Truex, at 5.5 over two races. Truex, who won three races last year, has the third-best average finish (10.3) of his 21-year career this year and despite his lack of a victory, he is doing some of the best driving of his career. McClure expects another finish near the top for Truex, and possibly the first victory of the year for the 43-year-old driver with 34 career victories. You can see the rest of McClure's Enjoy Illinois 300 DFS picks at SportsLine. 

Top 2024 Enjoy Illinois 300 Fantasy NASCAR rankings, projections

One sleeper McClure is targeting in his 2024 Enjoy Illinois 300 Fantasy lineups is Chase Elliott. He is a 15-1 longshot to win the Enjoy Illinois 300, but the model projects him to make a run at the title. Elliott has finished eighth or better in seven of his last nine races, including winning NASCAR at Texas on April 14. He also has five top-five finishes during that span. The 28-year-old had a tough start to the season, finishing outside the top 10 in five of his first six races, but his recent performances are more indicative of the 19-time NASCAR Cup Series winner's talent.

Elliott won the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series title and finished fourth in the ensuing two years with 12 victories over those three seasons. His 2023 campaign was derailed following a broken leg suffered in a snowboarding accident, but he's rebounded well since the injury. Elliott, who is fourth in the NASCAR Cup Series standings, has the best average finish of his career this season (9.6) and given his longshot odds to win the 2024 Enjoy Illinois 300, he could fly under the radar and provide value in NASCAR Fantasy lineups. You can see the rest of McClure's Enjoy Illinois 300 Fantasy NASCAR picks at SportsLine.
