With just three races remaining until the start of the NASCAR playoffs, the NASCAR Cup Series season continues on Sunday with the 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway at 2:30 p.m. ET. Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson are the co-favorites at 6-1 in the latest 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400 odds. Ryan Blaney (13-2), Brad Keselowski (9-1), Martin Truex Jr. (10-1) and Joey Logano (10-1) follow in the 2024 NASCAR at Michigan odds and could be popular 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400 DFS picks and anchors of NASCAR Fantasy lineups.
Three drivers in the NASCAR DFS driver pool are separated by six points at the top of the NASCAR Cup Series standings as the regular season unwinds. Larson leads with 779 points, followed by Tyler Reddick (774) and Chase Elliott (773). With these three chasing for the regular-season points championship, should you include any of these drivers in NASCAR DFS lineups or Fantasy NASCAR picks? Before locking in your 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400 DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, and making your Fantasy NASCAR projections, be sure to check out the optimal NASCAR at Michigan 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.
Top 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400 DFS picks, lineup advice
One of McClure's top NASCAR at Michigan DFS picks is Martin Truex Jr. ($10,000 on DraftKings and $11,000 on FanDuel). After starting second last weekend, he was in contention to win his first race of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season in his final year as a full-time driver before suffering engine failure in the final stage and placing 37th as a DNF. Despite being winless, the 44-year-old is eighth in the NASCAR Cup Series standings for total points and has the most points of any driver without a victory.
With three spots currently available for the NASCAR playoffs for top drivers without a victory, Truex doesn't need to go with a win-or-bust mindset this weekend. As long as he puts together a finish near the top, he can continue to build points to separate himself from other non-winners to qualify for the postseason. Truex has done a strong job of that this season by finishing in the top 15 in 66.7% (16 of 24) races this season. Truex finished second at last year's FireKeepers Casino 400 and has finished in the top three in three of his last five competitions at Michigan International Speedway.

Top 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400 Fantasy NASCAR rankings, projections
One sleeper McClure is targeting in his 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400 Fantasy lineups is Chase Elliott. He is a 15-1 longshot to win NASCAR at Michigan, but the model projects him to make a run at the title. Elliott is third in the NASCAR Cup Series standings and just six points behind the leader, Kyle Larson, with three races left before the playoffs. The 28-year-old is coming off his third straight top-10 finish after placing ninth at last weekend's Cook Out 400. He also had six top-10 results in his last 10 races.
Elliott finished 36th due to an accident at last year's FireKeepers Casino but even with that result, Elliott has 10 top-10 finishes over 13 carer races at Michigan International Speedway, including three runner-ups. Not including last year's accident, he has an average finish of 7.8 in NASCAR at Michigan events and his 10.2 overall average finish is better than anyone in the FireKeepers Casino 400 driver pool. His longshot status to win can make him an under-the-radar addition for NASCAR Fantasy lineups. You can see the rest of McClure's FireKeepers Casino 400 Fantasy NASCAR picks at SportsLine .
