This is my contingency plan if Kyle Larson is not able to race tonight in the Coca-Cola 600..
I have been waiting for this day for a year and of course Mother Nature has to go and screw it all up. Kyle Larson was scheduled to do the Indianapolis 500 + Coca-Cola 600 double today, but it doesn’t look like that will happen. The Indy 500 was delayed because of rain, so there will not be time to get Larson back to Charlotte once he starts the Indy 500. Justin Allgaier will drive the No. 5 car for Larson while he competes at Indianapolis. Here are my updated Fantasy NASCAR lineups…
ONE & DONE CONTEST
I will take a chance with JUSTIN ALLGAIER in the games where you can only use a driver once this season. Allgaier will have to start from the back because of the driver change rule, but he has 600-miles to make it to the front. I do not expect Allgaier to be anywhere near as good as Kyle Larson in the No. 5 car, but he should be good enough for a top-20 finish. Using Allgaier this week sets us up well for the rest of the season.
I will keep the drivers in the other One & Done formats the same.
* If Allgaier is not available in your league, just use TY GIBBS as previously posted.
DRIVER GROUP GAME
No Changes
FANTASY LIVE
I originally had KYLE LARSON in the lineup, but I will take him out and pivot to DENNY HAMLIN. I was planning on saving this allocation with Hamlin, but I left the No. 11 car in the Garage at Darlington, so I have an extra start with Hamlin. I will use it to replace Larson Sunday.
DFS LINEUPS FOR CHARLOTTE
I did not have KYLE LARSON in the DraftKings lineups because I was afraid he would miss the race. So, no changes to the DraftKings picks for tonight.
I had KYLE LARSON in the Cash Contest lineup on FanDuel. I will take out Larson and pivot to DENNY HAMLIN.
Good luck tonight with your lineups in the Coca-Cola 600.
