After a two-week break, the NASCAR Cup Series schedule resumes on Sunday with the 2024 Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway at 6 p.m. ET. Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell are the co-favorites at 4-1 in the latest 2024 Cook Out 400 odds. Martin Truex Jr. (11-2), Kyle Larson (13-2) and Joey Logano (10-1) follow in the 2024 NASCAR at Richmond odds and could be popular 2024 Cook Out 400 DFS picks. NASCAR's two-week break came as a result of a jam-packed Olympic schedule, so should the time off affect how you view any of the options in the NASCAR DFS driver pool when making NASCAR DFS lineups or NASCAR Fantasy rankings?
Chris Buescher won last year's Cook Out 400 and is a 25-1 longshot. Could he be an under-the-radar addition for NASCAR DFS picks or NASCAR Fantasy lineups? Buescher is 15th in the NASCAR Cup Series standings, but hasn't won a race yet this year to secure his spot in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, so how should that factor into your NASCAR DFS strategy? Before locking in your 2024 Cook Out 400 DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, and making your Fantasy NASCAR projections, be sure to check out the optimal NASCAR at Richmond 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. His model has impressively nailed a whopping 18 winners since 2021, including nine last year alone and three so far this season. Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks saw huge returns.
One of McClure's top NASCAR at Richmond DFS picks is Martin Truex Jr. ($10,100 on DraftKings and $13,000 on FanDuel). Truex finished 27th in his last race in part to a crash sending him into the wall late into the Brickyard 400 as the 44-year-old still seeks his first victory of the NACAR Cup Series season. Despite chasing his first win, Truex has the seventh-most points in the standings and can still make the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs without a victory. A win would secure him a spot, however, as the regular season unwinds.
Truex has struggled as of late, finishing outside the top 20 in three of his last four races, but before that stretch, he was one of the most consistent options in the NASCAR Cup Series. Truex has 16 top-15 finishes in 23 starts this season despite the recent poor results and as long as he can consistently finish in the top half, he should maintain enough points to reach the playoffs. He's won three of his last 10 races at Richmond Raceway and finished no worse than 11th in any of those competitions as he should feel extremely comfortable behind the wheel on Sunday.

Top 2024 Cook Out 400 Fantasy NASCAR rankings, projections
One sleeper McClure is targeting in his 2024 Cook Out 400 Fantasy lineups is Tyler Reddick. He is an 18-1 longshot to win NASCAR at Richmond, but the model projects him to make a run at the title. Reddick started on the pole at the Brickyard 400 and led 40 laps before finishing second at NASCAR's last race before the break. The 28-year-old has finished second in two of his last three races while placing sixth or better in each of his last five races as he's been one of the most reliable options in the NASCAR driver pool as of late.
Reddick is seventh in the NASCAR Cup Series standings and won his sixth career Cup Series race this season, taking the GEICO 500 in April. He finished 10th at Richmond Raceway earlier this season. Reddick started on the pole at last year's Cook Out 400, won the first stage and led 81 laps before finishing 16th. He's finished in the top eight in eight of his last nine races and with this consistency as of late, McClure views him as an asset for 2024 Cook Out 400 NASCAR Fantasy lineups.
