Michigan International Speedway has hosted the NASCAR Cup Series since 1969. On Sunday, it will take center stage when the 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400 is held. The two-mile oval features steep banking and wide lanes, making it one of the fastest tracks on the NASCAR schedule. The green flag drops at 2:30 p.m. ET and Ford will try to continue its recent dominance, winning nine races in a row at Michigan. Chris Buescher is the defending champion at Michigan and may need a repeat performance to avoid missing the NASCAR Playoffs. He's three points out of a playoff position, but is priced at 15-1 in the 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400 odds.
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 Ty Gibbs. He is a 15-1 longshot to win NASCAR at Michigan, but the model projects him to make a run at the title. The 21-year-old seems poised for stardom in his second season in the NASCAR Cup Series. He currently owns a playoff position and has finished top five on five occasions already in 2024.
Gibbs made his third career Cup start at Michigan in 2022 and earned his first-ever top-10 finish. He followed that up with an 11th-place run in Michigan in 2023 and he'll be eager to challenge for a victory to solidify a postseason spot. There's an 18-point cushion between Gibbs and Ross Chastain/Chris Buescher at the moment but he continues to creep closer to the bubble and a win is the best way to ensure he's got a chance to race for a championship.
