Kyle Larson has the chance to become the first back-to-back winner of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season on Sunday. The NASCAR Cup Series has been on a two-week break for the Olympics, but the last time they took the track, Larson exited with his fourth victory of the season, more than anyone in the NASCAR DFS driver pool. Larson takes the wheel at the 2024 Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway on Sunday at 6 p.m. ET in a primetime return. Should you use him in NASCAR DFS picks or NASCAR Fantasy lineups?
The start of a new month has been kind to Larson this season, with two of his four wins coming on the first Sunday of the month. Whether that's a coincidence or not, should that factor into your NASCAR DFS strategy? Larson leads the NASCAR Cup Series standings and could be a popular option for Fantasy NASCAR picks and NASCAR DFS lineups. 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 Denny Hamlin ($10,700 on DraftKings and $13,500 on FanDuel). Hamlin started second and led 21 laps at the Brickyard 400 in NASCAR's last competition being involved in a crash in overtime and finishing 32nd as a DNF. The week before, he was second and the 43-year-old is fourth in the NASCAR Cup Series standings this year. He'll start on the pole in Richmond.
Hamlin has three victories this season, one of only four drivers with at least three. He won the Toyota Owners 400 in the spring race at Richmond Raceway on March 31 and finished second at last year's Cook Out 400. Hamlin has two victories and three runner-up finishes over his last seven competitions at Richmond Raceway and although he's the most expensive driver in the NASCAR DFS driver pool, McClure still sees value in including the 54-time NASCAR Cup Series winner in NASCAR DFS lineups for the Cook Out 400.

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.
