The 2024 Brickyard 400 takes place on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. ET from Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Denny Hamlin is the 15-4 favorite in the latest 2024 Brickyard 400 odds. Kyle Larson (6-1), Ryan Blaney (8-1) and Brad Keselowski (8-1) follow in the 2024 NASCAR at Indianapolis odds and could be popular 2024 Brickyard 400 DFS picks. The 2024 Brickyard 400 will be the first time since 2020 that NASCAR at Indianapolis returns to the Brickyard after running on the road course over the last three years, so how should the shift affect your NASCAR DFS strategy and deciding who to use for the 2024 Brickyard 400 NASCAR Fantasy lineups?
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 Indianapolis DFS picks is Denny Hamlin ($10,500 on DraftKings and $14,000 on FanDuel). Hamlin finished second at last weekend's Great American Getaway 400, moving him into a three-way tie for the most top-five finishes (eight) in the NASCAR Cup Series this season. He is one of four drivers with three victories this season and his 54 Cup Series victories are second-most among active drivers. Hamlin is second in the Cup Series standings this season after finishing in the top five in each of the last six seasons.
Hamlin is the most expensive option in the NASCAR DFS driver pool, but he's worth the price based on his dominant showings this year and throughout his career. NASCAR Daily Fantasy players who choose to leave him out of NASCAR DFS lineups are taking a huge risk and in this race specifically, McClure views that as a big mistake. Hamlin led 19 laps before an accident caused him to finish outside the top 25 in 2020 in his last brickyard run at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He finished sixth and third in his prior two races there as Hamlin has finished sixth or better in six of his last nine Indianapolis Motor Speedway brickyard races.

Top 2024 Brickyard 400 Fantasy NASCAR rankings, projections
One sleeper McClure is targeting in his 2024 Brickyard 400 Fantasy lineups is Ty Gibbs. He is a 16-1 longshot to win NASCAR at Indianapolis, but the model projects him to make a run at the title. Gibbs started on the pole last weekend and led 21 laps, but engine failure ruined his potential victorious afternoon as he finished 27th. The 21-year-old finished third the week before at the Chicago Street Race and he's 11th in the NASCAR Cup Series standings in his second full-time season in the NASCAR Cup Series.
Gibbs finished 18th in last year's NASCAR Cup Series standings and was named the NASCAR Rookie of the Year. Gibbs, the grandson of team owner Joe Gibbs, has earned his spot on Joe Gibbs Racing with his results on the track, which includes a 2022 Xfinity Series title. Gibbs is seeking his first NASCAR Cup Series victory but he ranks in the top 10 in the NASCAR Cup Series in top-five finishes (five) and top-10 results (nine). This will be Gibbs' first NASCAR Cup Series race on the brickyard at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but he's shown the ability to quickly excel at new tracks over the last two years and he could be an under-targeted option to outperform his expectations for 2024 Brickyard 400 Fantasy lineups.
